Trade: Denver sends Arron Afflalo and Alonzo Gee to Portland for Thomas Robinson, Will Barton, Victor Claver, and a 2016 lottery-protected first-round pick - Ok, this makes somewhat sense, Blazers need a backcourt mate with Lilliard, but they need depth up front too to help Aldridge, Lopez and Kaman.

Trade: Denver sends JaVale McGee, the rights to Chukwudiebere Maduabum, and a protected 2015 first-round draft pick to the Sixers for the rights to Cenk Akyol, Makes no sense to me, 76ers have no vet leadership, so I guess they wanted McGee? Really?

Trade: Brooklyn sends Kevin Garnett to Minnesota for Thaddeus Young Makes perfect sense, Garnett will retire a TWolve where he first started out of HS.

Trade: Phoenix sends Goran Dragic and Zoran Dragic to Miami for Danny Granger, Norris Cole, Shawne Williams, Jordan Hamilton, and two first-round picks makes no sense at all, Dragic is a free-agent after this year, the younger brother is decent, but you trade Cole, Williams and 2 1st rounders for someone who may not resigned next year? Riley you better be able to re-sign Goran quickly and trade for some front court depth, because you have none now! Bosh, Whiteside and Birdman? Oh and Haslem? :0002

Trade: Oklahoma City sends Reggie Jackson to Detroit and Kendrick Perkins, Grant Jerrett, and the rights to Tibor Pleiss to Utah, Utah sends Enes Kanter to Oklahoma City, Detroit sends Kyle Singler and D.J. Augustin to Oklahoma City, Utah sends Steve Novak to OKC. Utah receives a first-round and a second-round draft pick. OKC receives a second-round pick. Makes sense to me, OKC doesn't care about adding any depth or anyone to help Westbrook and Durant eh! Stupid moves. Kanter helps, but they have 2 big men already, Collison is ok and the Aussie Adams who breaks more of his own fingers than opponents. Singer and Auggie will be key players for OKC I believe off the bench in roles, but still have to have a dominant big man, maybe Kanter to help.

Philly trades their best guard Williams? WTF?

Just when I thought things would be better to use in capping the NBA and this shit happens!!

:facepalm:

As a sixers fan I love the trades...they didn't want a Magee but they just added a 1st round pick for free pretty much.
And they got hopefully a lottery pick this year or next depending on where the Lakers fall for a 38% shooter in MCW. Sixers will draft mubiay or d. Russell. Either or are much better than mcw in my opinion.

McGee is ok. Canaan will help, I liked him when he played in the OVC. They stockpiled draft picks and now are guaranteed 2 picks in top 10 with the protected pick they picked up but gave up a couple 2nd rounders. McDaniels and Williams were both going to be very good and now they will be even better with their new teams. I don't really feel the new ownership group of Philly even cares of putting out a real winning club and the GM says the right things, but you have to have vets around the youth in order to build a cohesive unit. You can't count on the "kids" to build the program to where it was years on back!

Those teams back in the championship series days were vet filled with talent at every position, it's not like that now and hasn't been for a long long long time!!

Sad to say!

Maybe Dr J can put together a group and buy the Sixers from this group of ego worshippers!!

Btw, I had/have been a Sixers fan since the days of Billy C as a player, Steve Mix, Dougie Collins and so forth before they even won anything. World B Free from Guilford College, here in NC!! Loved him! Could dunk at only a smidgen over 6' and shoot the trey before the trey was put into play. Caldwell Jones, Chocolate Thunder, George McGinness, Bobby Jones (UNC grad), Maurice "Mo" Cheeks, Bibby, and so on and so forth.

Those were the days.

Ego worshipers?? I think that's a stretch.

I think what Hinkie is doing is much smarter than other teams in our position.
Your overrating KJ and MCW. KJ is on a one year deal and is a very replaceable player. All he is is an athlete.
Sixers are not trying to win this year or next.
And I agree with some veteran leadership... But what vet wants to come play here right now?

There's alot of questions and ifs but the ceiling is high.
