Couple things.. -15 and 7 on a TERRIBLE offensive team (5th worst in the league) isn't anything to write home about. -If you're putting any stock in Bagaric as a future starter, you may be a bit nutty my friend. The package you were dealing should've landed you a cornerstone player to build around. SJax just isn't that. |

Better for the Celtics franchise that the deal got vetoed. SJax has done nothing in this league and looks to be a mere bench/fringe starter on a good team at this point.

Don't quite understand that Raps/Pistons deal. Terry blows and will never be anything. SAR is solid and nothing more and will be nothing more. Unless I'm missing something, Finley is still good even though his numbers aren't good. He just isn't being used properly. Even though he's expiring, Dirk still has camps and can be around a 20/10 guy his whole career. I feel like the Raps made a deal just to make a deal.
Finley/Dirk >>> Terry/SAR...not even close imo

Terry doesn't blow. He's putting up 11 and 7 while making 2.7 million and is 23 years old. If Shareef continues to put up 20/10 that is good enough, VC is gonna be my main scoring option. Im rebuilding so I don't want finleys long contract and I don't need him to start with VC and Mercer. Giricek will replace him off the bench. Plus Dirk's loyalty is 68 so who knows i he'll resign.

Don't look into the loyalty rating. Or any of those numbers period. I don't think it's committee worthy, but I don't see the point in doing that deal. I mean, you say you're rebuilding moving Dirk, but you'll definitely be rebuilding if VC leaves, that's for sure.

I wouldn't say Terry blows but he's certainly nothing to get excited about. You can talk up 23 all you want but the real number is 3, the number of TCs he's been through yet hasn't gotten anywhere. Even if he started with a high potential, lets say 90, he'd be in the 60s now most likely. One more decent TC in him, if that. The same could be said about Dirk though as well. He's no better then Rahim. No worse though either  Good deal, bad deal, I dunno, we'll have to wait and see. Nick's Mavs fanboydome (yeah, I made that up) is inflating Finley and Dirk's value in his comparisons me thinks |

I put it this way...a deal just to make a deal. Really risky for the Raps imo. High risk/low reward type deal. If you go risky, get high reward potential. I do agree w/ Brian about Dirk being somewhat bustish in a way. He needs camps NOW. I don't agree about my fandom setting bias |

this deal is plain terrible for the raptors, it makes just as much sense to trade dampier for mercer just to move finley too the bench

My team should be catching flack for tanking too. After I knew my team was out of it I moved my offense from slow down to fast even though my team with the roster it had played better playing slow. I did it so I could get a higher draft pick and because I knew if I ran a faster offense I would get more cash through double digit scorers and double doubles. I never benched my better players though including playing Pippen who really served me no purpose if I wasnt going to make the playoffs because it isnt like I was going to develop him.
My point is we already have the penalty if a team doesnt make the playoffs or have a winning record. I learned the hard way in the last league, if you tear a team completely down building it back quickly is not easy. If they tanked they hurt development of good players and they could face the penalty of getting fired. Risking that so that you may or may not get a top pick for a player who may or may not develop doesnt seem wise to me.
