The first reported trade does not work in the espn trade checker, what's the deal? This can't be the deal.
I like this trade. Brooks is ready, the team plays well when he starts. Rafer wasn't getting any younger. We didn't give up Battier, Artest, Landry, Wafer, Scola, or Brooks. We gave up a guy that people have been wanting to trade for 3 years now! The future is now. Don't look back on our 1st round exits with nostalgia - there ain't nothing there. Onward and upward...
The only negative I see from this trade is that it makes the team smaller in the backcourt, but I like Lowry. He plays a lot bigger than his size. Cook is a great three ponit shooter.
