Well its something I guess.
McBob, Birdman, Chalmers, and Bazz going to Portland in S&T to make salaries match.
Teams on the surrendering end of sign and trades and disgruntled superstars never get decent return value. If you want value on a trade, you gotta drag it out and have a bidding war, something Portland can't do. Those are all expirings except McBob anyway. It always comes down to the surrendering team saying "well, we don't want to lose him for nothing, might as well get something in return".
Cause he's still the team's best perimeter defender so it's preferable to retain him. Not that he's a deal breaker or anything.
If deng has to go to make a deal work then of course get that shit outta here. He's serviceable at best and often a lame duck on the court. thibs broke the man.
Right. That's what the heat did when they mortgaged their future to get the big 3: got rid of picks that Riley would've botched and riff raff like beas to make the sign and trades work.
I only know of him because the Heat drafted him then immediately traded him for Daequan Cook. Anyway he's nothing but a big white stiff, not even playoff rotation quality.
