Trade Deadline Fallout for the Pels

Overall I don't think anyone in the West got significantly better. It's a shame Boogie got hurt because if he hadn't and they still make the Mirotic deal, the Pels probably would have been the playoff team in the West that improved the most at the deadline.
Warriors/Rockets/Spurs - Didn't do anything and didn't really need to.
Minnesota - didn't make a trade but seem likely to pick up Derrick Rose once he clears waivers. More DRose and less Tyus Jones is probably good for the Pels. It also could lead to Aaron Brooks getting bought out and the Pels are so thin at guard he could be a useful addition.
Portland - Dumped Noah Vonleh to get under the tax.
Denver - Traded Mudiay for Devin Harris and a 2nd. Mudiay wasn't very good and Harris is serviceable so that makes Denver a little better.
Pels - Added Mirotic and turned Dante into a little tax breathing room which may be useful with players that get bought out, but probably not.
Clippers - The Blockbuster Blake trade was followed up by keeping DeAndre Jordan and Lou Williams. They will remain a threat.
Jazz - Traded Rodney Hood and Joe Johnson for Jae Crowder. This should make their defense a little better but their offense a lot worse. Snyder is still a wizard, but I'd say the Jazz got weaker.

I don't thik we add Mirotic if Boogie doesn't get hurt. The Cousins injury forced Dell to get up off his arse to save his job. I think we can still be a good team and make the playoffs with our current players, but we need a little time to mesh. I expect a different team after the allstar break. Our defense will definitely be better. We'll probably hang around the 7 or 8 seed and Play Houston or Golden State.

now, that is interesting!
Tom Thibodeau killed his career enough for the Bulls to can him (Pels had a legit shot at bringing Thibs to the Pels but like the fans were too scared to). Thibs brings him into Minny and resurrects the MVP.
I likez it!

Boogie won't be Boogie next year. We traded what will end up being around the 12th pick for Mirotic who will probably only improve us to around 38-40 wins the next two seasons. Needed to make a 2nd move before the deadline if we actually wanted to improve. Mirotic trade will ultimately be a lottery pick for a bandaid on gunshot wound.
Only positive is not making the playoffs might finally get some people fired.
