I'm good with Battier for Thabeet. I would have preferred Perkins, but we didn't have a Jeff Green caliber player to offer... At the end of the day Shane would have walked as a free agent after the season and we get nothing for him, so why not take a shot a guy who was the 2nd overall pick in the draft just a couple seasons ago. Maybe we can get Dream in to mentor & work with him. However the Brooks trade I don't get. We traded him at ROCK BOTTOM value. Not only he's having a bad season, every team knows about his walking off the court issue and that we wanted to dump him. IMO we should have let him play out the season with us, hopefully get healthy and play up to his potential, then trade him in the off season. We could have used him to package with one of our 100 stockpiled draft picks to move up high in the lottery and get a real player. These mid 1st round picks are nothing but a crap shoot, not a way to "build" your team....
THANK YOU CUZ WE ARE JUST DYING TO HEAR WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY ABOU THE TRADES IN A NEW THREAD! OTHER LESS IMPORTANT PEOPLE CAN USE EXISTING THREADS, BUT NOT YOU WITH GREAT INSIGHTS!! THANK YOU!
um who says perkins or green were available for what we were selling? the more i watch dragic, the more i like the brooks trade. not sure about the battier trade, but he was an expiring contract so we are certainly no worse off. let's hope Morey has the dream on speed-dial. Thabeet needs a lot of work.
You may want to post your opinions in the Brooks and Battier trade threads so we don't have everybody posting their opinion of their trades in a separate thread.
