The important part about the trade is to figure out if we improved our classiness. I think we didn't, but maybe we did. We have to consider how much the Clippers draft pick years from now will improve the classiness. Clippers picks tend to be pretty classy, so actually I'm pretty optimistic about this trade.

we'll be fine.  We have barely practiced with this squad.  And we are still waiting for our bigs to get back.

Why are you guys making excuses for a team that has 4 all-stars that just lost to the worst talented team in the league that was missing their best player and also had a huge trade that overhauled their roster?

The Thunder are 5-1 in games Perk has played in for them.  Pretty miraculous considering how much of a slouch he is on offense and how much money they're paying him.

it's not possible to properly judge the trade until we see how the team plays  with Shaq ... sorry.  Cry all you want, but the trade was made for the playoffs... not a regular season game against the Bobcats.

Doc Rivers said Celtics are in bad place. Worst than at any time last season. #celtics

I didn't know it was possible to be any worse than last season.

Celts were 5-0 first 5 games after the trade.
Yup

We won 5 in a row right after the trade, so that is meaningless.

The Big 4 are playing like crap period.

We were 6-2 in the first 8 games Krstic and Green played with the Celtics. Who cares?

We cant even beat the bobcats with 4 all-stars on our team lol.

No excuse. They are done, they need to just retire and frankly Rondo belongs in the D-League.

So I guess the Thunder will start losing to the worst teams in the league at home pretty soon.

Forgive me for not understanding how the trade "Killed our team". It was either we make the trade, or we go into the post season with no backup SF for Pierce. Remember that most of the players we traded away are not finishing the season due to injuries (Semi, Daniels), and the starter we traded away is still coming back from a knee injury that was hampering the only strong point of his game: Defense.

We're not seeing this team at full-throttle yet...before making a final assessment of everything, I will wait and see how Shaq and Jermaine impact the team over the next couple of weeks.

yeah, I heard he's no Bill Russell.

Well, at least maybe they can beat the Bulls in the finals.
