2014 Trade Deadline Thread (All General Deadline Talk/Proposals/Blog Rumors in here)

I wouldn't mind adding Kane. I just don't think moving Atkinson is good value.

There is a part of me that wonders if his presence might boost the Jackets' popularity among the "we need an NBA team in Columbus" crowd. Maybe not, but, hey, it'd be nice if it'd work out that way.

What do you mean by "the we need an NBA team in Columbus" crowd?

She means "black people." But it's OK, because I'm sure she has plenty of black friends. Just like it's OK to call Kane a thug based on nothing more than him taking silly pictures, because "thug" is never used as an inherently pejorative term for young black men with the implication that he they are predisposed towards being violent criminals.

If we're going to trade Cam, it needs to be for someone who doesn't offend our delicate Midwestern sensibilities by having the audacity to look scary and listen to music we don't like. Does anyone know if Ryan Callahan likes country music?
