I should of known it was Boston

if a stud player hits the trade market, you need to find out if corey wants him. His farm is still insane and he can and will offer more than anyone else for a player. Teams would be stupid not to go to him first in trades but it means the rest of us don't really have a shot.
That's pretty much it, and why I didn't give qazby much of a chance lol. In fairness, I looked over the roster for STC and another team, but as Ted said, teams just can't offer what Boston can.
Even though we're feeding the beast, if you will, you have to do what's in the best interest of your own team, so it would not be wise IMO to just avoid Boston and get a lesser return for a guy like Hewitt.
Another thing, avoiding trading with Boston...I think people, or 1 person, says this alot but has no clue what that would mean. It basically guarantees 120+ wins for Boston for 15 years. Obviously it's a fluid situation and he can make moves but at its core, the more prospects you take away from Boston, the sooner he can come back to reality a bit.
There's literally nothing we can do to stop the Boston train in the short term...except maybe start the playoffs.
