Two identical posts?

I admit it...  Roy Hobbs and wdleehi are really the same person, living a dual internet life.


Does that mean you/me has 28 stars then?

48.  We're still waiting for Hawaii and Alaska.

I still think the dude was accurate in what he was saying and just someone told him to shut-up.

My theory is that this has been agreed upon in principle as House for Nate, pretty much straight up, but it can't be completed until they can tack it on as a side deal with a larger deal (T-Mac, or a Ray deal), to get around the BYC problem.  So right now, they are just working on other things with other teams, and will just latch this trade on the side.

Good point.  It's very easy to work this into a pre-existing trade to make it into a three-way, that helps get around the BYC issue.

Now that I could get on board with.  Especially if they can wiggle a useful bench player out of Houston as well (and no, not someone as good a Battier)

OK.  I am done.  When the Physics/Math teacher can no longer add, it is time to go home.

The latest Twitter entries from A. Sherrod Blakely:

 Nate Robinson deal close to being completed. Has yet to get approved by the league's attorneys. Should be completed sometime today.

 Nate's BYC status complicates this trade. House makes about $200K too much for straight-up trade.

 That's why this deal may not get done until the 11th hour, if at all.

On his Twitter account, Robinson seems to think he's headed to Boston:

 N wen I'm gone just carry on don't mourn rejoice every time u hear da sound of my voice(word aapp)

I don't see where this trade alone helps us get past Cleveland or Orlando or Atlanta

Toronto, yeah but those other teams, nope

We'll need more than this and this all but rules out the addition of Hinrich for just expiring contracts

Ray for Hinrich not so great but Hinrich added to this team would have been world's better than this move

I can sense you are very upset by this but, just for clarification do you think DA made this trade thinking it would be the move that got Boston to the finals?
No I don't and that's just it

This trade adds extremely little to the overall efficiency of this team

Eddie is not a good defender but he us knowledgeable of our defensive rotations and positioning and for that reason will be better than a defensively woeful Robinson at the defensive end of the floor

What we lose there we gain in offense and so we come out about the same all around

I don't see this as anything but a sideways move with a chance for it to be a backwards move if Nate causes problems

If this is it, I would rather just have stayed pat
