The only reason I'm upset is because Knight was apparently available, and we couldn't nab him. It's hard to imagine that DMo + Pellies pick + Canaan or Johnson wouldn't have been enough (PHX gave up Ennis + Lakers pick, correct?), but maybe the Bucks loved Ennis.

Still you gotta admit the guys we got are underwhelming. After the FO drummed up Dragic and waited and waited for that deal to go through.
What is the point of doing that unless you think Knight is a future all-star player? Giving up Dmo is huge, we now have to rely on Jones who has been hurt most of the year and Smith would be our main PF for a lot of nights. Not only that but we have to worry about resigning Smith as well. Giving up D-Mo just wasn't a option. He's too young and too good of a player to just throw out there like that.
Rocket's were 850k below the tax line before these moves. Will go even further below the line after these moves. Wonder if that had anything to do with the moves made today.
Brandon Knight is not walking through that door, Goran Dragic is not walking through that door, Ty Lawson is not walking through that door. Priogioni is walking through that door and Bev is not walking out through that that door.
