    " While Morey is shopping Jones for a first rounder being that he barely played, he's sub-consciously increasing the value of Patterson & Morris.

    This has Maloofs written all over it. F them. I'm so freaking pissed. He will flourish here like JJ Hickson did after he left.

    That would be nice. If nothing else this clears up the roster a little bit, buys a little bit of cap space for next season and gives you what should be at least a competent back up 4?

    LOL we raped the Kings. AGAIN! Robinson has gotten off to a slow start in his NBA career but this guy is going to be a premier PF for us. I always liked Garcia's game as well.

    Chalk it down as another move that cements Morey's legacy as one of the greatest GM's ever. Yes EVER.

    Should really help if he's allowed to play the three. Not strong enough for the four.

    The guy can't start on one of the worst teams in the league. Trade strikes me as a change of scenery type move or both teams.

    So I'm kinda lost.
    How does this put us for next year as far as cap space? Are we better off in signing a superstar in the summer?
