It’s fine I guess if they want to give them kudos for creating cap space, but seems like an A grade should have only been warranted if they had extracted a pick from us. Yes, Barnes is over point, but he’s still a talent. The C- grade for us is stupid.... with all that said I realize trade grades are almost as dumb as draft day grades.
Amen. I haven’t been on the espn site in many many years.
LeBron needs to STFU. No it is not the best way to be traded but you get paid 25M to play a game you love, these are the somewhat unfortunate tradeoffs 99.99% of us would be willing to make. It is a false narrative too that fans side with the team over the player when the player wants to leave. I don't see Anthony Davis being excoriated for his desire to leave the Pelicans, it is the manipulation of the agent to try to force a trade to unite with another one of his clients that rubs people the wrong way. Durant was rightfully criticized not for wanting to no longer play with ball dominant guy like Westbrook but for taking the easy path and joining up with the enemy. James was not even criticized when he joined LA, if he was it was a very miniscule percentage of fans. Most recognized the chaos with CLE and the bad management.
Auto correct.....overpaid
These people literally make fun of Vlade everyday. He said "i had a better trade for boogie" and they take it as "duhhh i suck at this ball thing...duuhh..."! It was clear the other trade offer was rescinded. They laughed when he picked bagley! They predicted the kings to be the worst team in the west! The questioned the Bejeli signing! They said Boogie trade was the worst in history that Vlade was a clown!
No game thread tonight? Probably for the best
Dallas doesn't exactly have a stellar record attracting marquee talent despite all their supposed advantages, they usually get the 2nd or 3rd pick of the litter (ie the guys that the Kings try to shoot for), and they almost always overpay. And while Luka and Porzingis are nice players I haven't been reading about players that can't wait to join up with them to relive their college glory or Olympic summer. Vucevic is supposedly in their sites, so maybe they will try to build the all Euro team.
Oh thanks I didn't see it
But Lebron is a billionaire player who writes his own rules. Anybody but him might actually have a point. Is he going to slice up his pie to help the little guys? Yeah, right.
