![]() ![]() This will be his first time playing for the Pacers as a corpse, though. I think Hill has played for the Pacers and Bucks at least 9 times each. Winning one playoff series after years of having Kyrie, KD, and Harden is what we in the cheese biz call a “no gouda.” At least they unloaded the disaster and got picks and solid players back. Now this team really has made a full circle back to a scrappy team of solid players. I mentioned how the Spencer Dinwiddie addition was a full-circle moment for him. I think the Nets will remain a playoff team this season. The Nets are restocking all the picks they gave up for Harden. Maybe the truly most important part of the trade. I think it’s great that these teams were able to work a local radio station quiz contest winner into this trade. Why they didn’t demand to also get Cam Payne is beyond me, but this is another above-average role player. He was definitely the most important part of the Nets side of this trade, player-wise.Īn athletic and smooth scorer, the Nets now feature two Cams. Maybe he’s a Jerami Grant-type, almost all-star-level player. A solid move we’ve been waiting months for.Īn elite defender with some offensive game, we will find out just how good Mikal is. Crowder has plenty of time to get into shape if he isn’t already. The downside is that this is no longer the ridiculous-looking trade where the Bucks sent FIVE second-round picks to the Nets for Crowder. The upside of this trade becoming a four-team deal is that I get to knock a trade off the long list of trades I have to cover still. Suns are a little thin now, but who cares? They are a title favorite for years. He could be a nice addition off the bench.Ī no-brainer. It wasn’t that long ago that TJ was ripping off 30 points a game and beefing with Jimmy Butler. The only real question about this deal is how KD will transition to being a #2 option behind Duane The Brain Washington. ![]() I don’t think that’s much of a concern, but he has missed considerable time in the last few years. He’s locked up for years along with Devin Booker. Wait *rereads the name* THEY GOT KEVIN DURANT? Do I really need to spend much time on this part of the trade? Anyone reading this likely knows that KD is one of the great players of all time and instantly makes the Suns a title contender, if not the favorite. He’ll be a solid role player for the Suns. The benefit of not being a journalist that needs to get content out as quickly as possible is that I get to cover what was once a two-team trade as the official four-team trade. I guess I won’t bury the lead on this post. And that is why the NBA trade deadline is all about full circles. There is kind of a circle under the hoop in the restricted area. In a two-dimensional sense, a basketball is a circle. This post is specifically going to target the two blockbuster trades of last night. ![]()
