Not every deal has to be a total fleecing - sheep reference number 2. There's nothing wrong with both teams getting better in a trade.
You mean like when Ainge offered 4 first round picks for Winslow last year?
How many of those were actually good picks?
And remember that Ainge has admitted he kind of panicked in an effort to get something done.
I think they grasp that their credibility is on the line this summer, actually. I don't think they're dumb enough not to see the trouble they invite by the above.
And I still think something is going to get done with Philly.
Or now Chicago, after the poo platter they picked up from NY for the poo platter they sent out. That is not a build for the future deal.
That is a "We want rid of D Rose. Give us whatever you got" deal. Lopez is barely serviceable and they're going to have to call a mortuary to pick up Calderon's corpse.
