Cbud was drafted late but played as well as anyone iv seen taken 18 maybe with a couple exceptions..but i thought he did well and showed he could play. only if cbud could handle the ball better and create his own shot. i did like cbud but if this had to happen then it had to happen= chip to get us a superstar player or 2...=)
The truth is we can always make a run to sign Budinger after this season if we need him. This move frees up playing time for Morris and possibly Martin and other picks. I don't see how you don't play a player like Martin during his contract year. Disgruntled vets understand what a contract year means. This is a Morey move at it's finest and it's similar in a way to Brooks for Dragic. I would take White who will be picked between 18-21 over Freddette who was the 10th pick last year.
yes... but they could agree to a deal with say sac for our 3 picks for number 5... only send them them 2 than after we draft a player trade him to sac for cash or scrub to "complete" gentlemans handshake trade agreement...
Going to go crazy over here if we trade all of our young players and draft picks for Howard. I think the Chase pick is a good one. Solid bench player but in this draft I think we can draft someone better at 18.
I have never thought the Deron/Dwight thing was going to happen, until now. I am really feeling this is a possibility.
I'm gonna go crazy too. I think it'd be more exciting than when we got Barkley, Pippen, Francis, Yao and maybe even Tmac.
No, not in lalala902102001's scenario where they trade up in the draft. When you are swapping draft picks in the same draft, the times of it works under the Stepien Rule.
We just traded a soft, inconsistent shooter who can't play defense for a mid-first round pick in a deep draft while we have many young SF with greater upside waiting in the wings- how can anybody not like this deal?
gotta give morey props for the move getting a quality pick for bud. guy takes a lot of flack but still drives on trying to make the rockets better. we will see what transpires in the next days. Gonna miss you man and yes white men can jump!
I'm sure if it was for Martin then a future first would have been included in the deal. That may be too much for a 1 year rental.
Wow. This is an amazing deal! Even if you're a massive Budinger fan, the fact is that he only has 1 year left on his deal anyway. Basically we're giving up a marginal NBA player for a mid first round pick. Great stuff
I'm not sure if I would like this deal nearly as much if we weren't just discussing trading Martin for the same thing last night.
Morey is sitting back laughing. Minny is loaded at SG/SF, Budinger will be burried in that roster, which will make Morey look even more brilliant with this move. Can't really ask for much more involving c-bud alone.
T-Wolves need a SG, Johnson is better suited to SF. T-Wolves save around $5M if they waive Webster before July 1st.
