Indeed. The trade deadline was a disaster.
First two results have happened, and Dallas is up 30 at the half. This is what we're looking at.Big night tonight for Les Boulez. With a loss to Boston, they'd clinch bottom 8 (6.0% at Zion). If Dallas (home vs. Phoenix) and Memphis (road vs. Detroit) win, they'll be 6th worst (9.0% at Zion). Boston is playing for home court in round 1, Detroit is playing for a playoff spot, and Phoenix is playing for nothing, so I'd guess the most likely result is Wiz L, Memphis L, and Dallas W. That'd leave the Wiz and Memphis tied for 6th, which would give them an 8.3/8.2% chance at Zion, depending on the results of a coin flip.
Now up 15. ErghFirst two results have happened, and Dallas is up 30 at the half. This is what we're looking at.
Make it up 10. Did you Gooch it? LOLFirst two results have happened, and Dallas is up 30 at the half. This is what we're looking at.
No gooching! We're good.Make it up 10. Did you Gooch it? LOL
I get the sentiment, but actually don't think that's fair to McPhee.I look at it in the same light as I view the Forsberg trade and McPhee fallout. Losing Oubre for nothing hurts but if it's the final nail in Ernie's coffin then I'm ok with it.
I get the sentiment, but actually don't think that's fair to McPhee.
Ernie left the team with one tradeable asset (Beal), lucked into only one legitimately valuable future (Bryant), and one albatross contract that has killed their cap flexibility.
It's inexcusable to trade Porter without landing a 1st in return. It's inexcusable to send the legit young talent that you mentioned (Oubre) away and not only fail to bring back a future, but to bring back a vet that hurts your lottery chances. And if there is any truth to the summer Lakers-Wall rumors (Wall for Ball, Ingram, Caldwell-Pope) and later (Decemberish) Lakers interest in Wall, well, it just compounds a horrendous year (of many horrendous years) for Ernie Grunfeld.
A competent GM could have gotten out from under both the Porter and Wall contracts, gained a first (or two), and had a starting five of: Lonzo Ball-Bradley Beal-Kelly Oubre-Brandon Ingram-Thomas Bryant going forward.
It's the worst case of blind loyalty I've ever seen in professional sports. 16 seasons in charge. No 50 win seasons. Miss the playoffs 8 times. Won the division once. Never passed the 2nd round.It’s all so bad that it begs the question: how the hell did he keep his job that long? Did his wife throw unbelievable dinner parties / sex parties? Did he have scandalous photos of Ted? It truly numbs the mind. His tenure here was abysmal.

LOL. We all see what we want to see.Speaking of gooching, and me noticing your avatar, remember that time I posted a picture of a light switch on here that I thought was a picture of a melting light switch but it was really a light switch that resembled a vagina? Yeah I am an idiot.
Memphis looking good. Up 102-77 with 5 minutes left in the 3rd. Come on, 6th overall!
This is a great Masters so far.
