Last night oubre was almost traded as part of a 3 team deal....
He was supposed to go to Memphis.
Selden was supposed to go to Phoenix.
Ariza was supposed to go to Washington.
There were some other small pieces involved as well.....and everything seemed good, except teams weren't all communicating directly....this gets leaked....and then 1 team realized they were getting Marshon Brooks and not Dillon Brooks and they killed the deal. LOL
The Trevor Ariza trade that never really happened https://es.pn/2rBByct

Oubre’s contract is up this year, right?

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Svi back to doing Svi things last night.
Career high 12 points on 4-10 FG / 3-6 3pt, 1 board, 4 assists, 0 turnovers.
Cool he and Devonte played against each other in "the show".
DG had 5 points and 6 assists in 16 minutes.
These days, despite the subtraction of Butler, Wiggins is the 3rd most valuable (best?) player on his team - which is garbage. I have no clue how Thibs still has his job - other than Glen Taylor (and Scot Layden) aren't going to can a guy and still pay him about 20-25 million.

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Basketball wise I can't figure out why the wizards wanted to get rid of Oubre for Ariza. I guess maybe it's a salary dump to make more room for a run at Kevin Durant?
Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Dude Kelly Oubre is the fucking man
Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Wasn’t he a Late Night commit? Which is to say, yet another Late Night commit.
He was the heir to the badass OAD wing position, tasked with filling the role left by some Canadian dood named Andrew.
An inch shorter and not quite the athlete, but still quite the athlete, plus even more wingspan. Plus a southpaw, though somethin about it just ain’t right. All things considered the most debatable trait might be best hair.
Plus isn’t he a Katrina refugee?
And here he is now in the league; young, healthy, talented, still improving, due for a deal, about to destroy everyone in his way.
Dude Kelly Oubre is the fucking man!
(and quick, thought experiment: just for a second imagine this killer instinct in that Canadian dood, eh?)

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
Andrew Wiggins has just as much killer instinct as Oubre (at least offensively). He just doesn't pound his chest the same way (or blow kisses to crowds)...I have been critical of Wiggins plenty, but that's a little crazy. Oubre is a bench/role player. Wiggins is a top 2-3 option....let's remember Oubre just got traded for an aging Ariza, so clearly Washington didn't think he was irreplaceable....love oubre, but making a game sealing 3 doesn't mean he's got some magical killer instinct that Wiggins doesn't. Wiggins has made far more game sealing baskets than Oubre in the NBA....plus they were up 5 and there was only 3 seconds on the shot clock, not sure that qualifies as killer insintict. But definitely a big time shot and he's off to a good start for the Suns.

Love him.
I used to root for the C's when Pierce was there. After they went after Kelly for rightfully tagging that bitch Olynyk, I just can't do it anymore. Love Marcus, but the rest of that team is so hate-able. And, of course Boston fans.

Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
I'm sorry, but you can compliment a former player without putting down another former player....Wiggins is so much better than Oubre....CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:08 amYou just can't help yourself.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 6:17 am Andrew Wiggins has just as much killer instinct as Oubre (at least offensively).

I'm supposed to believe that because Oubre hit a 3 with the shot clock winding down that he's got more killer instinct that Wiggins? Or was it blowing kisses to the crowd when you're on 1 of the worst teams in the NBA?
Re: Jawhawks in the NBA
As I suggested, this can be settled by debating best hair while at KU.
Is it...Kelly “that strip of grass you missed with the lawn mower” Oubre?
oorrrr....is it, Andrew “Cosmo Kramer plus Elaine’s dance moves” Wiggins??

Plus, I've been critical of Wiggins, so as much as I argue I figured this was a reasonable spot to stand up for him...
