Really? Trading down for Spooner?

**Dornado** · 07-08-2012, 10:27 AM

Spooner was about to be a ufa, right? Not a fan of this for Washington.

omer51 · 07-08-2012, 10:28 AM

anyone wants to trade down for Dont'a Grixby?

scdn · 07-08-2012, 10:29 AM

Yeah I thought secreast declined Spooner's option?

Those aren't final until the deadline.

The only good thing to come out of this mess is having a rule in place forbidding the practice of shady dealings in the future.

**Dissonance** · 07-08-2012, 10:31 AM

You can still trade em til the option deadline and other team makes the decision. GMs have done this all the time.

**Dornado** · 07-08-2012, 10:39 AM

Sure, my point was that he probably could have gotten Spooner without trading down, since the C's were already indicating they weren't going to pick up the option. This way they don't have to compete in free agency, which may have been their rationale, but I still prefer the move for Boston.

JerryWest · 07-08-2012, 10:42 AM

lmao, what a terrible trade for the bullets, got completely raped

could have got spooner for a 2nd 3 years from now considering celtics would have dumped him anyways.

This trade is on the same level as Ben's moves back in kvbl 1

**King Joseus** · 07-08-2012, 10:43 AM

Only rationale I can see is that Bullets were going to be unable to match Larsgaard's offers in RFA due to cap situation. Moving down in the draft plus losing some 2022-2023 salary in this deal ensures that they'll be able to match using Bird rights.

**Dissonance** · 07-08-2012, 10:43 AM

Oh, yeah, I don't get it for Washington either. Especially, sending Big Uz too but sounds like he's going back to Dre - which is that deal that made KJ put the rule in

Smath · 07-08-2012, 11:06 AM

mehhhh Dre answer my freaking PM's next time , ever heard about "shopping" the market for offers??

Zei_Zao_LS · 07-08-2012, 12:09 PM

I get salary cutting moves. This move is pretty borderline on whether it's even close to worth it though.

The trade that spawned the "Uzelli Rule".
