is that really true? Can we swap?

Yes you just can't completely trade out of

Future 1st rounds consecutively, as long the team we're trading with

has a 2015 1st, yes we can do a swap rights on our first

I wouldnt even do this for Lebron--we have a chance to get a Tim Duncan like player--Id rather sit tight and lose. I cant imagine even Jimmy D to be that stupid and whatever money Jackson is getting--his legacy and soul are worth more. If we passed on a better PG than Rondo in Lowry--heavens for Betsy I doubt that the Knicks would do something for an inferior PG who cant shoot when we are already paying 1 8mm.

Unfortunately we've seen crazier things happen

Since the prerequisite is a 2015 1st with soft protection

Lark-Pablo for a 2015 1st

Cleanthony-Wear-future 2nd for a 2015 1st

Shumpert for a 2015 1st

THJR for a 2015 1st

Very true.
And I still hate you forever for that Craptor gif throwing Melo off the overpass.

I just can't see it- I love Westbrook, but if they drop him, they are dropping Durant too because there is no way he'd stay with them.

Update on our Tank Movement

Here's some PURE Ether

Listen if this involved us getting pick(s)

And Mr. Slew Foot turned his nose up at it I'm going to be bloody with madness

Another wall knocked down on the tank Brigade

Essentially we want Rondo or no deal, Come on Philicia

I mean how dumb can we be to decline getting involved

With the Celtics, Danny Ainge literally has more picks

In the fold than a team can legally retain in a 3yr span

He has to unload them to another team eventually

What's even sadder it appears we can't beat that package

Must have been asking us to either take on salary or get nothing of value back- think about it, both the knicks and the Lakers said no- that's two desperate teams!

How odd that they want us or the lakers to be the third team- we don't have any players of value, no real cap space. We have a few trade exemptions.

Ah, but we both have expirings (Lakers Nash, us Bargs etc)- so likely they needed us to take on salary or a two year contract.

If New York could get JR and Calderon off their books without taking on long-term salary and receiving a draft pick or two in the process, that's probably more worthwhile. I don't see that as what Boston was thinking, though.
