    Wizards got Jabari, Portis and a 2nd for Porter.

    Besides, Porter is the polar opposite of a Morey target, though. Way overpaid compared to the value he brings. Can't imagine he was ever a real target.

    He'll be a good rotational piece on our contending team.

    Anyone have information on the protections on this pick? Is it just lotto protected? @Clutch

    No he won't. He's absolute garbage

    Ennis is better than him.

    Tillman said that just to cover his tracks .

    You don't think Morey would have offered 2-3 firsts for porter !?

    Tillman wouldn't allow it because he preferred to save money .

    so essentially we traded Ryan Anderson, Melton, and a first rd pick which will be in the 20’s for Iman Shumpert. He’s a 3 and d guy and gives us athleticism and length. Willing to play D! If anyone thought we would land a “star” in any trade including Knight you are nuts. Remember how people were going nuts about rynos ridiculous contract? We got someone who will contribute. Let’s bring back house and there is possibly another move to be made. Now when we look down our bench there is no MCW, no Chriss, no knight to dread the fact they are entering the game. Our team is improved. Thank u Morey

    We don't have any more large contracts to trade outside of EG .... And now we are down a first and a second to throw in the pot.
