Thank you for all coming to this thread today. We are here to celebrate the life of the trade ideas sub-forum and share our grief that we can no long roll our eyes like this
every time someone posts that Josh Smith should come here because he is friends with Rondo.
When I think of those threads, I remember how much life and energy the posters here injected into them and how merrily naive we all were. Maybe we were on our cell phone, hiking through the woods thinking "But look at how many points Rudy Gay scored! He must be good!" More than just being simple risk takers, the posters in trade idea threads had generous souls, which I'm sure you all could attest to. The idea that
we would give the
Pistons a first rounder in a Josh Smith trade provides such a clear example of that.
It may comfort us to know that Rondo is now with our beloved friends the Dallas Mavericks, who made LeBron and the Heat look so incredibly bad in 2011. This is only a brief step back in the larger scheme of life.
I'll leave us know with this beautiful song from Mr. Phil Collins
