    This always made more sense to me. Gives them more lineup versatility too.

    I'm ok with knight if it gets rid of Asik. I don't think I'd attach anything though since we're taking more money back.

    Look at the deal: Boston traded Bradley for not even the good Morris twin AND gave up a 2nd round pick.

    They're already loaded at SF and they still took back another SF in the trade too. I think it looks pretty obvious the market was ice cold on giving Boston any assets when they were the ones that needed to make the move.

    It was only Boston fans who kept thinking not only were they getting Hayward but also flipping a salary dump into more assets. But they're the same fans that keep saying they're going to trade for AD this offseason.
    I don't think it had anything to do with the market. It had to do with getting rid of a player that they knew they weren't going to re-sign and getting something back in return at a position of need. Bradley should have always been the player of choice to trade.

    I also didn't expect them to get an asset back in return for their salary dump, which makes giving up an "asset" to receive that asset more reasonable, particularly for an expiring. The initial discussion was a return package of Hayward only. While Marcus is the worse of the Morris brothers, he's still a very useful starter in his own right.

    On top of all that, the discussion was trading with Utah specifically, not another team. Boston owed Utah nothing, and it was in their best interest to seek the best trade out there for them. Getting an asset back + Hayward for Bradley + 2nd rounder is much better for Boston than Hayward for Bradley + 2nd rounder when they were getting Hayward regardless. They basically upgraded Olynyk for less than half the price.

    If Boston agreed to trade Bradley for Morris and they even had to add a 2nd round pick couldnt we offer something better? I mean why would they need another SF and they lost a pick, and they sent him to a team in the same conference. I dont get it. IMO Bradley would be a perfect fit for us and we should be able to offer something better for him.

    Didn't once upon a time, Dell have an offer of Ryan Anderson for the better Morris twin straight up and refused. He was productive and just signed a very good contract. I'm sure Boston woulda preferred that Morris since he played more of the 4.

    Why? We never really were to begin with unless the other team had leaks. It's not like anyone is taking Dell's phone calls.

    I just looked up CJ Miles on Wikipedia, did you guys know that we drafted Brandon Bass with the pick right before Miles was drafted by the Jazz? Man, this franchise sure has had a bad go of it.
