    Feels like we really should have grabbed another PG at the deadline.

    Rafa the Rent-A-GM strikes again.

    They got a 2nd round pick. It’s a fantastic deal. You need a ton of those to trade for Anthony Edwards.

    You thought we were getting Cody Zeller as a player?

    The trade was a salary dump for CHA, and they paid a 2nd round pick for the privilege.

    Fantastic? Are these like the second round picks Stone attached so he could cut failed *first*round picks like Garuba and TyTy Washington for the pleasure of getting the capspace to *not* sign Brooks Lopez?
    Fantastic.

    F Zeller. I thought getting *somebody* to help a team who is on fumes and declining at the deadline was not beyond our wildest dreams.

    Right. But that's not Cody Zeller, nor was anything to do with Cody Zeller a preventative to that happening. If anything, it gave us an extra pick to do something with.

    I'm not sure it's fair to strawman me into a "Stone did nothing wrong" position just because I pointed out what I saw as illogicity in your post. I agree we needed help, and am also frustrated we didn't get it. But I hope nobody wants Cody Zeller on or with the team, and still think getting a 2nd round pick for free isn't a bad thing.

    Have you ever heard of the fuc*ing concept sarcasm? You would need more 2nd round picks than there are stars in the night sky for Edwards. I thought that would be obvious.

    We are sliding and could fall out of top 6 which means you know what. Nobody wants to be in the play ins. I cant see us falling out of top 10.

    No. I have never heard of sarcasm, Mark Twain.

    There you go. I can tell you are being sarcastic. But you couldn’t tell that I was. Go eat some bark off a tree or something.
