I'm fine with him drawing Social Security on the Rockets as long as he hits 36% on threes.

i don't really mind trading for Shumpert if its just the non guaranteeds, Houston needs to fill out the bench and he can play defense. His contract is tradeable in the future too. Hes a fine rotation player, basically, and getting fine for nothing is fine with me. And he wouldn't effect the Rockets MLE obviously.

Don't let those other jerks nerd you around. He's a good but often injured PF who played for Boston last year, he's pretty skilled and brittle and was (is?) a plus-minus god.

that doesn't matter either, Serge is everything that's right and cool about the NBA and anyone doesn't like it can kiss my rear end. And frankly, Sam Presti can kiss my rear end for trading him away.

You can't convince me Presti is short for Prestidigitation except Time works the same way and he knew it would fall this way idk where I'm going with this. Durant inferred that was a big reason he bailed, that they were always going 'young' instead of getting hardened vets.

Well that explains some of it then, the Boston offer was never solid and they were stalling until signing Heyward, which would have meant the Pacers basically sitting out free agency to hope they still wanted to do it.

I doubt the Oladipo / Sabonis trade was going anywhere so if they didn't want to wait to find out about Hayward that's unfortunate for both the Pacers and Boston

a sign + trade of Amir Johnson for Okafor would be bizarre and sad. All involved parties should be glad they weren't involved in such a deal.

It's not that wether or not he actually tried, it's the comical fact that literally every single time he fails to get a deal done it's leaked immediatly afterwords
