I know it seems strange to repeat this poll just one day after it was asked initially. I think the vote yesterday was something like 65/35 against, but I have a hunch that the opinion has shifted after fans had a chance to listen the Morey's take on the trade and to sleep on it. You can just answer yes or no to the poll. If you're really not sure, go with your gut. I'll close the poll after today. If mods feel this is unnecessary, they can lock it and I'll understand.
From the good things everyone except ESPN has said on the trade I think it was a good move, cost cutting and finding a pg that Morey thinks will fit Adelman's system. However, I still wanna wait til I see Lowry play to decide if it was all just hype
I see the long term benefits of the trade, going from veteran to youth. I really hopes things work out quickly.
didn't vote yesterday because I want to hear from management before I form my opinion.e won't vote today still because I want to see Kyle Lowry play a couple dozen games before I form my opinion now. hopefully, by the end of the regular season, we'll know we made the right move.
My first reaction was like almost everyone elses, what were we thinking? But as time passed and after sleeping on it, I like this trade. It [may] helps us in the long run even though we dont have a veteran leading the show. But I like this trade.
There you go, trying to be all reasonable. It's ok to be opinionated and jump to conclusions as a fan. That's what this site is all about!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCAhOmxsnq8 Kyle Lowry Highlights vs Dallas Mavericks I look forward to seeing guys like Aaron, Wafer and Lowry keep attacking the basket and drawing fouls.
you wont know until the end of the year. thats the problem. We werent going anywhere this year without a healthy McGrady. Same goes for next year. We might as well develop both Brooks and Lowry. Lets be honest. Our next legit shot at a title wont come until after the summer of 2010, if we land a big free agent...if these two who promise, we'll probably hold on to them and see what happens in 2011. thats when we'll know the trade worked.
I liked this trade yesterday and still do. Brian Cook does nothing for me but Kyle Lowry is a player. Rafer was good and all however I'm excited to see Brooks play more and whoever hasn't seen Lowry play before, expect to be surprised.
I am. After hearing the praise from Morey, I can't help but be excited to see what our tandem of Brooks/Lowry will bring.
Well I was happy 2 hours after the trade, I was unhappy when I first saw it though. I thought damn these guys are scrubs, well Cook still is a scrub in my opinion. Kyle Lowry is a pretty young and nice talent, He is similar to Rajon Rondo in many ways. His defense, his inability to shoot, ability to run the team. Although Lowry's numbers aren't so nice, he has had some nice games. I like this trade about Lowry, Cook is a scrub though.
I was just observing how the poll results changed over time. It's kind of interesting. I think 16 out of the first 17, which happened within the first minute or two, were Yes. Since that point, it's gradually been evening out. It's about 75/25 right now, and I suspect it may be closer to 60/40 by game time. What this tells me is that people who are happy with the trade are more excited today, and they (like me) are spending entirely too much time on this BBS. So, they are the first ones to answer, because they're already here. So whatever the results of the poll are, they'll be distorted by this factor. A lot of people yesterday who didn't like the trade are probably going to be spending less time on the boards (at least for the time being).
