Sonics cut Brian Shaw prior to second deal.

I'm just a third party here swapping Nance back for Pierce since Nance wasn't fitting well with my squad but I luckily got to be a part of such a large blockbuster.

Accept. Had to change something with us struggling as of recent and this trade brings upgrades at several positions while Pervis isnt too far of a downgrade from Barkley.

interesting... Laettner is the key here. If he remains the same or just slightly improves, it's pretty even. If he has signficant improvements then good for sonics.

Duck/Barks though. wow. Best defending/rebounding combo maybe ever?

If I only still had MJ while they cleaned everything up lol

Laettner will do really well over time in an outside offense

He’s not a weak rebounder at the 4 like some other outside options might be

With the squad I have, I wouldn’t run an outside offense for the foreseeable future so it’s mutually beneficial

I still don’t think we are a contending squad but hopefully Payton and LJ can improve to at least 17-18ppg guys

If not, we should still do really well at steals and blocks and win games being scrappy

Damn man put up a trade block...

3 team trades are fun

Sonics will shoot the ball better now as Barkley's offensive numbers arent the best

Blazers are beefing up in the post but the cost might come offensively unless someone steps

Grizzlies get back a familiar player who works with their team better than Nance

Good all around

Done

I look at free throw % to determine shooting as FG% can fluctuate depending on offense run but FT% is consistent across all offenses

Barkley: .595 FT%

Laettner: .734 FT%
Ellison: .626 FT%
Nance: .654 FT%
