2711858, you do realize trade deadline motivation works for both teams, yes? Posted by Cold Truth, Wed Feb-05-20 11:19 PM

No shit. Buyers are likewise motivated at the deadline, not just sellers.
That's how this works.
>Miami wasn’t even a rumor. All this shit happened today, >after yesterday.
This 100% irrelevant, but plenty of deadline deals come seemingly out of the blue. Every deal that happens doesn't come after weeks of rumors.
>So I don’t Think it was merely just a trade deadline >matter. Dillion statements did resonate throughout the league >yesterday. We would t be talking about it had it not happened.
No, it wasn't, but again... the deadline motivates buyers and sellers to find deals, either to shore up a playoff run, or to gain value for a player who is about to walk.
>Them niggas were unhappy and wouldn’t him gone ASAP. That >shit mattered.
They wanted him gone? From.....being gone? Sure, he wanted to play iggy and show him he was missing out on a good, young squad. The whole issue was that he wasnt around. YOUR issue was that he wasnt around.
The players wanting him gone doesn't change all the facts that to a trade deadline deal, from the second they acquired him.
This was a highly likely scenario from jump, not some shit that materialized because some kids with absolutely ZERO weight or influence in the league said some shit on Twitter.
