waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

hopefully will be good for H Barnes too, take some pressure off him

did the dubs give up any of the picks?

sounds like one of the picks is miamis and the other(s) is phillys, and the dubs just absorbed anthonys salary, im just deducting that tho

thats what i got from it too

deducing even

i think the heat had a pick from philly, so the heat traded two

right

philly wanst in the trade

i love looking a randos opinions on twitter after things like this, boston fans all broke up abt losing crawford and warriors fans upset that he isnt a true point guard lol smh infinity

https://twitter.com/search?q=crawford

haha

seriously ANY production at all will be a major step up

TRADE: Warriors get Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks. Celtics get Joel Anthony, 1st and 2nd round pick. Heat receive Toney Douglas.

wait the celtics get anthony lol

did the dubs give up anything in this transaction

gotta feel like eventually the celtics will roll some of those draft picks into a real player. they're bordering on too many picks if they're not already

here's the woj article

Another note. In July, Heat tax bill was to be $33 million. After Mike Miller, Joel Anthony moves it is currently less than $10 million

did the dubs give up anything in this transaction

yeah danny is from the acquire assets school, hes happy to make slight trade ups until he sees an opening, thats how they got kg

same approach they used to pick up harden in houston

whose picks do the celtics have right now can someone name them

lol joel anthony has scored six points this season

i really like golden state's GM btw

helps that ainge such a good drafter, the players he chooses are often worth more than they wouldve been as picks

even like he picked up crawford for nothing and just spun him into two picks

whose picks do the celtics have right now can someone name them

2014 first round draft pick from Brooklyn

2015 first round draft pick from L.A. Clippers
L.A. Clippers' 2015 1st round pick to Boston [Boston-L.A. Clippers, 6/25/2013]

2015 second round draft pick from Sacramento
Sacramento's 2015 2nd round pick to Boston protected for selections 31-55 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Sacramento's obligation to Boston will be extinguished) [Boston-Sacramento, 2/17/2009]

http://www1.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed

jeez none of those picks are really good

the future brooklyn picks are gold

one of those nets picks is gonna be in the lottery

yeah

this years brooklyn pick could easily be pretty sweet if atl didnt have the right to swap

at the very least

lol brooklyn haggling over small time shit like this while getting totally fleeced

if Boston exercises this swap right, then Boston will convey its 2017 2nd round pick to Brooklyn protected for selections 31-45 (if this pick falls within its protected range and is therefore not conveyed, then Boston's obligation to Brooklyn will be extinguished)

are there rules governing draft pick protections & swapping or is it just whatever two teams agree on

feel like maybe you can only do it so far out in the future is the only thing

breaking celtics acquire knicks 2304 and 2567 protected first rounders for chris smith

ha otm

whoops i guess they give them gerald wallace in that deal too

Whatever happened to MarShon Brooks? He seemed like he was a legit NBA player for a bit.

"nick young but sullen" is a bad combo

he was OK on the Nets last year, but not particularly good

one dimensional chucker m/l

why would anyone take this picture

for lolz

lol did guys here Pres Obama zing Chalmers?

lol no

yeah that was great

Greg Oden is active tonight

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-pistons-shouldnt-be-this-bad/

i'm more or less baffled at lowe's bafflement here. it would have been much more surprising to me if this ridiculous team worked as constructed.

yeah that team was an open disaster from a conception standpoint i didn't get the tone of that article either

I'm suuuuuuper bummed about this and have spent time writing to management and adding comments to columns like: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/warriors/2014/03/26/jim-barnett-in-your-words/ but sounds like the decision is pretty much in stone.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nba-ball-dont-lie/jim-barnett-is-calling-his-final-regular-season-game-on-wednesday--which-is-a-shame-185650280.html

really sad

Yeah Jim fucking rules

It's cool that the Blazers wore their Rip City jerseys the other night for Barnett's last game announcing at Portland:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDG6EkLZO8A

yeah thats really cool

mavs/grizz fighting to the death to avoid the spurs is really weird the losers is just gonna have to play okc

being not the most athletic or fast teams if i were them id rather play the spurs cause okc will just run them down like arthritic gazelle

not sure i need another okc-dallas series in my life

yr wish is my kazaam

this bogut injury is really depressing clips gonna average 130 for the series

shouldn't be that bad draymond should start and draymond/iggy cause some major havoc on D. but yeah not expecting but maybe one win, games should be competitive tho.

MAYBE HARRISON BARNES WILL SHOW UP GUYS!

not sure i need another okc-dallas series in my life

Featured by Fast Break Warriors Fan Blog

This is a perfect time to express my thanks for the incredible support the Fast Break blog has given me during this personally strange season. My first thanks go of course to Adam. His continual support prior to this year has always been noticed and appreciated. And the unexpected column to #KeepJim and bring me out of retirement was a game changer. That's when the groundswell began with the overwhelming positive posts provided by you, the people who are the gatekeepers of the blog. Words cannot possibly due justice to express my personal appreciation for wanting me to return. Your generous and positive statements influenced me and the Warriors organization. We took another look at what might transpire and have simply put a hold on my hanging it up completely next year. Whatever arrangement that eventually unfolds will be one that we can all support and affirm.

I am happy with the outcome and I will certainly do my best to bring the best of the Warriors to you next year, in as many games as that will be. Eventually there has to be a change. I will want it and the organization will need it. That time will come about naturally to the benefit of all parties. And that includes you: the loyal and knowledgeable fans who write on this blog!

A final shout out to Chris L as his prose carried a strong message of support as well. I also had the pleasure of meeting him at a game recently. I wish I could meet more of you. There is so much more I would like to say.

Once again I am grateful to you contributors who came on here for the first time; the ones who had not posted here for some time; and you regulars whom I feel like I already know. (I don't read all comments as it sometimes becomes too much). There is so much to read elsewhere to try and keep up, and I do have a life beyond this wonderful game that has defined my life. But I certainly read Adam's and Chris's synopsis regularly.

Once again, thank you!

Jim Barnett
