Trade #29 - OKC Thunder / Boston Celtics

[Corey]

This deal on its own isn't bad enough to veto -- It's just a terrible trade.

[Corey]

Wasn't that bad of a trade. Still plenty of time to right the ship. Plus they got the best player in the deal

Harden > Rondo.

Come hither, haters.

Why can't we just pull the deals back if a majority of us 3 clearly didnt approve

[PocketKings]

Alright then just void this or whatever. I dont want to screw DroseJM and NYK. Never my intention. I wanted to do the first part now because I wanted to try to be a player in FA since its a week away and I couldnt do anything. I didnt think S&T KG would be hard at all. Its a game and people to shake things up and talk about how he feels but theres no reason why KG would pass on max raises and an easy run at a ship.

I got a lot of respect for this right here.

How dont I own his bird rights? Would he not get max raises under the Cs.

Mr. Garnett wants to win a title. He isn't interested in who offers the most money, he's interested in furthering his legacy. My client has made a lot of money over the course of his career, and he is intelligent with his finances. He wants another title. If OKC is the best place for that to happen, he will consider them.

Because that isn't how the game works. When a Co sends in the deal, it's final. A co from both teams sent in the deal. You guys will have to see what happens in free agency in terms of the Kevin Garnett aspect of this trade.

[roshan3ai]

nyanks that's a nice thing to do. Props.

If the deal can't be cancelled, then just do a trade back

[Mr. Baller]

Owned.

Respect for nyanks though

[Superdude]

Mad props to the Celtics GM.

Classy

Baller we know your opinion at this point

Who says he wants to play multiple years? Maybe he wants this to be his last shot at a title and play it year by year.

If you really want to void the trade, trade each other back all the pieces involved, and resend the trade to the commissioners.

If I was Boston, I'd think twice before doing that, personally. You guys just got a helluva deal for Rondo.

Even if its one year he still would get the max raise in percentage.

I mean I was the Cavs in my first mock last year so maybe I never got a real test for FA. And I understand you have to play the act of this and that and your not just gonna say KG is going to OKC but getting his max money and a clear shot at a title with Elite Elite D which KG would love. But it seems like your almost trying to make up why he would be upset and wouldnt go just because of the trade. Far from tying to be a dick and call you at Corey cause I like you I just dont get why he wouldnt want to go to OKC.

[Corey]

We act as the player's agent. We base our decisions off a myriad of factors. KG could want to go to OKC, he could want to go somewhere else. We'll have to see what teams make the best pitch for him.

I know that if I was a free agent, and a team traded my rights without even HAVING them in the first place, I'd feel a little disrespected

KG is a UFA. The fact of the matter is he can sign wherever he feels is the best chance for him to win a ring.

[nyanks79]

Acting as an agent but you wouldnt want to get the most money? And again I understand you have to play the part but everyone would want the money. And again OKC is a clear contender. But whatever.
