    @russbengtson Best part is, Mullens wasn't enough. OKC had to throw in cash. Woo!

    " 2009 draft ...? You couldn't call me up, Presti? "

    I guess that's Perfect Presti's Joey Dorsey/Jermaine Taylor move.

    Hard to be a bust when you are drafted #24. This trade is basically OKC buying next year's top 2nd round draft choice from Charlotte (#31 pick). I like the move for OKC and Mullens might actually get playing time on the Bobcats.

    Great trade by Oklahoma City. They get a nice 2nd rounder in return for a late 1st round bust. That's the way to cover up your mistakes.

    LOL from the ESPN article:

    "Charlotte's bringing him in to fill the void left by Kwame Brown."

    LOL never thought I'd here anyone say that except an accountant for a buffet in DC.

    Yeah, ignore that. It had made sense in my head, but then it didn't look right when I typed it.

    There's a thread I just made that's the same way.

    I think I'll log off now.

    Noone ever talked about Mullens that much
    I think it was calculated risk, right assessment as a project
