since asik came back and dmo is more solid at the 4 maybe casspi will only get spot minutes or play when the game is out of reach (like last night)

So what you're genius brain is proposing is trading our entire backup wing rotation for a 3rd string point guard and Robbie Hummell? I can tell you're obviously trolling, because I'm pretty certain because nobody is that stupid.
Remember when Hamilton was coming out of Texas in the draft, and we were all excited about his potential? Yeah, I miss those days too. Morey has been nails in the draft, but when it comes to picking up reclamation projects he has been much less good. Count in his favor the massive successes in trading for Lowry and Dragic. The failures? Let's see...TWill, TRob, Flynn, Thabeet, and Jordan Hill. Oh well. Our current backup SFs are playing like snot and the opportunity cost here was zilch. It's a nice no risk low reward move. Probably the biggest sign here is that we think Canaan is ready for PT should the need arise.
Your confusing my point. His contribution to the team was his instant offense off the bench from the point guard position. When Lin disappeared on offense, AB came in and created offense. Your underrating his contribution. Did you watch last years playoffs?
Hamilton may not be a lockdown defender and can't guard guards, but he can rebound on the defensive glass.
Not sure how you can be upset by this trade.. We all love AB but the only time he played was during garbage time. We traded someone who wasn't in the rotation for a young athletic wing who can shoot threes, and is probably going to get some playing time shortly. I think this is a very subtly good trade for us... and lets be honest AB will be back soon
