    I'm more interested in the pick than I am Thabeet.

    Woah! Didn't see that come. Why does Memphis want him back? What could he possibly provide? Is it just for sentiment. I'm sad to see him ago, but as Star Trek taught us, all good things must come to an end. I'm just upset Battier won't get to win a ring.

    I'm kinda happy about this trade tho, we cleared our logjam at the 3, if Thabeet turns out good, that's excellent because we need a big man, if not his contract is small and short and we still have a pick.

    And Brooks stays on the team. A travesty.

    Man wtf. We couldn't get Mayo with what Indy offered?

    Well I guess it's good we got rid of an older guy for a younger one, but Thabeet hasn't really done anything....

    Geeze, there is nothing about Thabeet that makes me think he's worth a damn. But, let's see what stipulations this pick has.
