Perkins is gone.Kanter Adams Ibaka McGary...is Perkins staying?
That's fantastic for them, mcw is garbage.
Not watched much of Carter Williams for obvious reasons, has he been stat padding?
I haven't either but he's shooting 38% and turning it over 4 times per game. His stats suck, he's the same overrated player he was in college.
Does it matter if Philly get the Lakers pick? Surely no way Lakers don't finish outside the top 5 worst teams?
Ah OK, thank @Eboue Imagine being a Laker fan and sucking and then missing out on a top 5 pick because of the lottery.
Whom did the Heat give up? First round picks? Well, they're not going to be a top 10 team in the draft this season or next season (most probably), so I don't think they're that valuable. The players they traded? Cole? Granger? Hamilton? Williams? None of them have contributed this season, to anything really. Williams makes one or two three pointers per game (which is a lot for a Heat player this season), but apart from that not much.Seems like Miami gave up a lot for Dragic, no? I guess they must at least have an agreement that he'll stay long-term.
The players don't look like much of a loss, you're right, but if I'm looking at the right thing the two first round picks are one in 2017 that's only Top 7 protected and an unprotected one in 2021. I guess they're not worrying about six years from now but I gather Miami have other picks between now and then already traded away too. With Wade and Bosh (and Riley?) gone in that time Phoenix are probably optimistic about that pick. How good is Dragic really in comparison to all the other point guards in the league? He's 29 in a few months too.Dragic?! Wow.

Last time I checked Cole was shooting 25% for the season. 25 fecking percentage. And then I stopped checking because it was too painful.
Granger had one or two good games. Out of 40+ games. Case closed. Hamilton doesn't even get any minutes.
Besides, Miami needed a good PG (especially after the emergence of Whiteside).
It's a very good trade for Miami imo. Well done Pat!

Glad Reggie is gone. Was too disruptive in the locker room, Detroit can have him. Quite content with the Thunder's trading. Hopefully it all comes together well and the 2nd half of the season is strong.
What did he do that was disruptive?
Tanking. They want Okafor in the draft so they can play a whole team of centres.WTF are the 76ers doing trading Carter-Williams?

Riley doesn't like working with draft picks, he really doesn't rate them because it's about luck most of the time. He got incredibly lucky with Wade, but apart from that Miami hasn't been getting a lot from their draft picks. Beasley for example wasn't really worth tanking a whole season for, and that's why Riley doesn't like tanking.The players don't look like much of a loss, you're right, but if I'm looking at the right thing the two first round picks are one in 2017 that's only Top 7 protected and an unprotected one in 2021.

The real tragedy here is that Phoenix is no longer an awesome team to play with on 2k15.
