    Sura, Barry, and Wesley are interchangeable at the 1 and 2. Tmac can play the 3..he can also play the 1 and 2 of course.

    I like Wesley he is a good shooter. I really like it. I'll miss Jackson he was good. Nachbar was gone anyways so cya Boki.

    I like it. We need some change..it wats getting stagnant. Patience..we still need to get chemistry..maybe another trade will happen. Mo and Howard wont' be able to do it. Maybe Wesley's contract expires at the end of the season or we get a first round pick too..

    JVG keeps talking about Tracy being better suited towards guarding 3s, so I'm assuming Tracy moves to the 3, Sura and Barry split the 2, and Wesley takes the 1...

    I'm at a bit of loss if all we got was Wesley. The 3 spot is super bare now.

    what are the contracts on these guys? Maybe Wesley is just a tempory fix so the rocks will have more $$$??? seems like a strange deal... maybe we get draft picks too?

    What I meant was who is going to backup Tmac at the 3?

    The only person we have right now is Padgett.

    David Wesley

    Just turned 34 a month ago.
    JVG is trying to save his job with this bandaid.

    I'm not crazy about this trade.
    We gave up too much (not saying that Boki was worth a lot).

    Tmac plays 42 minutes per game. Padgett's pretty good..and we have Ryan Bowen.

    Jon Barry, David Wesley, Bob Sura, Andre Barrett, Charlie Ward..we can go small.

    I like Wesley he's a good player..he's 6-5 right? Barry 6-5 Sura 6-5..

    Now let's hope we can get that power forward we wnat. We all wanted something to happen...CD is working..seems active to me.

    Great. Getting rid of Boki solidifies our "most veteran team" status. :rolleyes:

    Wesley is 35..

    career 36% 3 pt shooter

    He isnt too bad but doesnt really solve any of our problems..

    His d at age 35 is questionable, not a great outside shooter, and cant really create shots but I guess JJ and Boki were not that valuable either but I wish we could have gotten a bit more.

    Definitely not a great deal from the looks of it (hope I am wrong)

    sorry hardrock. Give us a source next time.

    Back to the trade. Who is going to play the 3? My guess is T-MAC.

    Wesley/Sura/Barret-1
    Barry/Sura-2
    TMAC/Pagent/Barry-3
    Howard/Taylor/Pagent-4
    Yao/Mutumbo-5
