Why does the trade machine love this so much? +16 (us) + 41 (them)

to the Clips
TA
SCAL
B. Walker

from the Clips
Thorton
Butler

Think is a bit high for both teams in the plus wins columns, but wish we could do this trade.

[Tough Juice]

there is no way on world Clippers do that, we can't even get Al Thornton for this crap

[PosImpos]

Has to be some kind of glitch, all of those guys are role players or, in the case of Thornton, quite flawed.

Dude, we couldn't get Al SHARPTON for that crap!

Dude we couldn't get Weird Al Yankovic for that crap!

So, yeah, the trade machine is broken.  It has been all season, though; earlier, you could make trades that resulted in your team going 84 and -2, for instance.  That's a pretty impressive season, losing negative two games.

TP. The thought that went thru my mind was "No. I think we could definitely get Al Sharpton for that" and then thought "No wait. We really couldn't"

Al Sharpton would sell more tickets, help us with the African American community and free agents, and give far more inspiring locker room speeches. 

Man, that is sad.

Gawd!  Take our shots to the promised laaaand! Gawd! Make us swift and strong for you!  Gawd, show mercy to our brothers and sisters on the Lakers as we do your good work! Gawd! Keep us humble but prowd! Gawd! Thank you for makin our dreams come true! Gawd! Help us to remember our responsibilities! Gawd! Keep us away from temptations and keep our young players from goin astray! Jesus! Keep us grounded in life, except when we go for dunks! Thank you Jesus!

I am really beginning to buy into this Al Sharpton thing.

I know that it would never happen. I was just playing around to see what trades would work with our expiring contracts. Thought it was crazy that they could give someone 41 more wins.

The trade machine always thinks each team will get more wins

I just did this trade:
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yzhs7ja

New York Knicks get Carmelo, LeBron, Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis. +41 wins

Cleveland gets E. Curry, and J Jeffries and their win total +12

Denver gets Al Harrington and Gallinaro their wins are +24

Orlando gets Mobley, Hughes, and Darko and their wins are +19

No way this +/- win system is in any way accurate.

Replace Lebron w/ Curry and Jeffries. I love it.
