Trade Thread #8: All Gordon things come to an End

[bisme37]

I was into Giles because he's Tatum's bff and still has lots of upside. But oh well.

The thing with getting the BFF is your eventually going to cut him or trade him and Giles is barely in the league as is, Do you really want to risk having hard feelings with Tatum?

Solid point. Unless Giles stayed health and was actually good for is. Some Kings fans said they thought he would thrive in Brad's system, so for me it was the Tatum bff thing but also actual hopes that he'd do well here.

There is no way Danny can go into the season with Langford and Nesmith as the only backup wings. For one both are coming off injuries, Langford will actually miss the start of the season. Also there just isn’t enough scoring. He has to address it some way.

How about waiting until the off season is over

Raps board must be having an epic meltdown. Didn't visit yet.

I just came back from Toronto last night ... Fans are angry

We really need to add one more wing. Either via trade if we get a TPE. Or vet min.

What's this? Grant Williams is a wing, and so is Javonte Green.

Oh how times have changed, people seem to forget when Brad had 3/4 guard line ups. IT, AB, Smart and Turner. And you worry about back up wing depth when you can throw out guard line ups.

With TT, Theis, Timelord, and even Grant, there's just no way we can find minutes for him.

+1 Your post, -1 for Danny.

[Fencer reregistered]

Think yall should reconsider your random hot take that a female would be responsible for Tatum's hypothetical performance.

Plus he has a girl.

Kardashians + basketball players is pretty much a meme. Small sample size, which is why the comment was lighthearted, but on that basis I'm not going to apologize for making it.

it was also sexist.

How so? It's no different from complaining that BtVS fans got screwed when Sarah Michelle Gellar got distracted by Freddie Prinze, except for the part where Kardashian sisters are viewed as a bit interchangeable with each other. And that interchangeability is an iimage of their own devising, and is a major basis for all their wealth, fame and careers.

Is smellybelli still any good?

If Ainge gets the TPE that list opens up wide via trades.

For example, George Hill for a draft pick and TPE

Think Smart & Bembry could patch things up???

Don't know how much Korver has left in the tank. E'Twaun Moore is probably one of the better names left, but his minutes and stats took a hit last season, for some reason.

For the regular season? Sure. Might not smell the floor in the playoffs.

What's their beef against each other? I don't remember.
