That doesn't mean that the method they lost the team was ultimately acceptable.  Buffalo lost the Braves so Boston could keep the Celtics. Hooray.

 

Not for nothing, but if that team wasn't intentionally broken up and sold off for parts they could have won a title.  They had 3 NBA Hall of Fame players in McAdoo, Dantley and Moses Malone and this was the NBA before Magic and Bird.  It's Major League only the rich jackass owner succeeds in the end.

It's a pre-season game.  You think they're gonna play?  How many minutes?

Moses Malone never played for them. He was their property for something like a day.

I thought the story involved the Knox's and Snyder over revenue $?

He dressed for 2 games, played a couple minutes in one.  Couldn't believe the got him, really couldn't believe they traded him.

I don't recall that, but certainly won't dispute it. I used to go the games fairly often. The President of my company was on the Board of Directors of the Braves and had floor tickets that were available for us anytime we wanted them. Even had John Shumate give me an impromptu lap dance while diving for the ball.

It's a pre-season game.  You think they're gonna play?  How many minutes?  NBA teams sit stars in the REGULAR season let alone the pre-season.  You get to see the bench and the future D-League in action.

I’d suggest you let it go, but I fear deaf ears.

I would have liked to see the retro jersey be the baby blues.  

I loved those.

The thing is Bodine probably thinks this is the best day of his life. Yesterday I knew I was going to be cut and my career may be over, today the Patriots thought I was worth a 6th round pick to trade for. It doesn't guarantee a roster spot but on the brink of the season it probably does, as well as a whole season's pay at his existing contract.

 

I don’t care that they got a 6th round pick, why trade with the Pats?

'Cause we know Ed Oliver can eat Russell Bodine alive?

Taro was a legend 

And he has a much better  +/-     than Ristolainen. ?

I'm curious to see what they do with Sills. I mean he looked ok at times but he's not quite ready yet. I'm not sure he makes it to the practice squad though. Do you keep him on the 53, as the last receiver on the roster isn't likely to dress on game day anyways? Tough roster crunch this year.

Kind of agree, but then again the Pats were gonna get a Center from some team.  And it’s not like we’re trading them a guy who’s ever been a quality starting Center.  So thanks for the 6th rounder.
