Official 2012 NBA Trade Deadline Thread: The Dwightmare is Over.

[buc em]

You gotta be kidding me. So the Lakers are basically about to get Ramon Sessions and Mike Beasely for Luke *#+@@$* Walton and Steve Blake....Lakers gotta chance to make some noise I the playoffs now.

dont the nets have 2 1st round picks?

 

[MajinZuub]

When's the last time a Lakers first round pick got anything valuable?

Outside of Bynum I think it was Jones in '94.

 

[japanair21]

So they traded two young players with same amount of years as Walton, got it.

I don't see Gerald Wallace as a piece that looks appetizing to Dwight or Deron, personally.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Reminds me of Kwame Brown for Gasol

As much as I love Ramon Sessions (He will make a HUGE impact with the Lakers, mark my words) - we NEEDED another 1st rounder for the 2012 draft.

I like this trade. I imagined this trade all along

Luke gone?

SJAX back on the Spurs...

TP
Manu
Captain Jack
TD
Splitter.

I'm going to hate seeing SJAX back in the west.

Nets have only houston's pick if houston makes the playoffs. Unless the Nets get in the top three next year for the draft (Which is why it is called the lottery) Then this garbage for a good player deal is a complete waste of time.


Who says Gerald Wallace would opt in?????? Deron???????? The Nets could be standing their on draft night as the Brooklyn Nets with no PG. no SF. Brook will be Restricted and no draft picks if Houston does not make the playoffs.



That is a gamble not worth taking. You made the team slightly better to only worsen your chances at a good pick since you protected it top three. All over Gerald Wallace.

40 minutes left!

How this Sessions trade will affect the Cavs:

We'll lose A LOT more games this season, putting us in a lottery pick potential - along with the Lakers 1st rounder - we can potentially come up HUGE in the 2012 draft.

I'm all about next year right now. If Kyrie and Perry Jones III can play together, ewwwwww

 

 - that can be trouble for the league.

Let's hope this pans out right...

 

[japanair21]

So Warriors going to !%@@ up again, taking on Richard Jefferson's extra 20 million?

So they take on 47 million while moving only 25 million and lose their best prospect.

Got it.....

Warriors front office ladies and gents, ran by hamsters in wheels.

They traded Luke? More shocking than when Utah traded Deron.

IMO, Nets are done for. DWill is a Mav. Son probably won't even play for the rest of the season.

Damn, #%+%* going crazy

Portland blowing it up.

If the Cavs want a higher pick, put Luke in the starting line up

Then again he might have a slight impact, in a good way.
