Toronto acquires Carlos Delfino

Charlie Dolphin has really done nothing of note in his NBA career so far.

 

Nice pickup. We could've used him.

 

He rebounds well for a shooting guard. That's ... great?

 

Given some pt Delfino will surpass Manu, book it.

 

I wish there is some way the Rockets can get Detroit's 27th pick.Giving up next year's 1st round pick and/or the rights to Eliyahu might help if the Pistons don't want to add an extra player to the 15th pick. I wonder if they want to create more salary cap room to give Billups a bigger contract.

 

Delfino reminds me of Ginobili except he can't shoot, pass, or defend very well. Besides that, he's just like him! Oh wait besides that he's just a benchie that's been in the league three years. I think Detroit won this trade, they obviously don't see anything in him, and they should know better than most since he's been on their team for 3 years. I'd rather take 2 potential NBA players than one below average one.

 

2 seconds could be Novak+VSpan. I'd rather have those two than Delfino.

 

I nearly had a heart attack when I read the shortened version of the title on NBA Dish.

"Toronto acquires Carlos..."

 

Lets just remember that Manu did not enter the league until he was 25, and Delfino is only 24 right now and going on 25. So if Delfino can get the 30mpg this upcoming year that Manu got I'm pretty certain he can do better than 8ppg.

You do realize you're talking about the same Detroit team that got rid of Darko and has an aging frontline and is on the verge of possibly losing Billups.

 

Plus, 2nd round picks seem to be more valuable these days with all of these international players. There have been a lot of quality talent coming out of 2nd rounders lately. Don't dismiss those 2nd round picks.
