Raptors/Clippers Trade

Personally, I think my offer was better (potential aside), but I do think that Perry might fit your team more not being as great of a scorer.  It's a good deal for both sides and will probably fill needs better, but I think my offer was better.  Of course a lot of people think their offers are better than the one people end up accepting.

You are right. You actually had a very fair offer. But you know what I was afraid of.

definitely, I can't blame you, your the defending champ, you have to have some clue what your doing.

Something along the lines of "size DOES matter" ?
 


Oh, and i must confess, about the only time i followed Chills really close were the Conf Finals with the Kings. When Brand went down he simply went off and led your team in scoring. Just one game but there the legend of the "offensive dynamo" was probably born. I didn't even realize until much later that he was a backup all the time (just plain bad research and first talk then think on my behalf)  

And through all these scenarios it is clear to me that only successfully starting Perry will make this deal good one for you.

1. Yeah did not even think of that. I was more afraid of that potential. Though that is not always a reason to drop in attributes either. Difficult decision...

2. Yeah, that I have to agree upon. Perry does not have to score a lot... but he has to play very well as a starter and lead the team. It will be a hard task.

Btw... indeed Childress was mainly a backup for me. And Perry will start. So from my point of view... I traded a bench player for a starter. (though I know Childress is probably the better player now. not by far!)

i don´t agree here that perry just have to play and defend. he will have at least be a better PG than gordon as ass/to concern and even if corey is getting old josh could have easily replace him at SG and did what perry will do for you. there was no real need for this trade imo.
I am pretty sure everyone in this league and that mean also you are overvalueing their own players. so i don´t see the point of your comment.

So where is the common courtesy when you call people out for not responding to PM's?

Nah.  This was spin.  You're a master at spinning your players.

It's like me on DJSL.  I was pimping Steve Francis to try to get something for him.  In the end, I didn't get much, except except to clear 2 contracts off my books.  But if I don't spin it, I get nothing.

You just don't stop spinning

lol, I can't argue with you.

It works though.
