    I believe his last year is a team option. According to Zach Lowe that is.

    Robinson is exactly the kind of high upside, high lottery pick needed to package in a trade for an established superstar.

    Keith Smart is not good with his personnel. So everyone is misused to be honest. Robinson has shown lots of activity and improvement since the beginning of the year. I think he does have upside. Not much of an outside shooter, but is athletic. I'd be interested to see how he is used here. Basically he's really raw and I'm not sure about his work ethic.

    so to answer your question, it's sort of up in the air if he's being misused because I haven't seen much of his strengths other than his hustle and rebounding.

    I like Garcia for depth.

    The four is now a rookie's space. T-Rob or D-Mo or T-Jones or Royce

    G Smith cemented as back up center, D-Mo is now 3rd center

    Or Morey's not done yet.

    wow minus 3 bigs, get 1 back.

    we're all of a sudden much smaller...

    why?

    This is so awesome. And im very happy for Marcus getting to play with his twin. They will be happy and have full confidence together.

    Does anyone know if TR0b can hit a mid range at all to space the floor for D12 next season? ;)

    Does this trade have a significant downside? None that I see.
