    Were I a Karlmonster, I would want to change nothing. Mase is the only positive I could see there.

    yeah i figured we either saved a little or not at all. not a big factor IMO cuz i knew it was so small.

    we basically gave up 1 big man for 1. rado didnt count for us, but we do get his roster spot and get a younger guy who can do most of what willis did for us.

    we did not get screwed. amazingly all 3 teams won.

    I wonder if the old poker adage applies to the NBA..."There is a sucker at every table, if you don't know who he is after five hands, you're it."

    Horrible paraphrased, but you get the picture. Rarely have I seen a fair trade. This trade is most fair for the rocks who get Willis for a 2nd rd pick. Denver improves a little as they get younger and a 1st. I assume the 1st isn't too sweet, but if it is a top 18 pick, it could really be a great deal for the Nugs.

    The Bucks got the hard end of being a small market team...not a bad trade for them as it helps them finacially, but wouldn't be done if they were the fakers. It helps them afford Mase.
