No shit. Buyers are likewise motivated at the deadline, not just sellers.

That's how this works.

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.

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.
