yeah this is not good... have we just given up on the season because mac is out? WTF. Mac being gone actually improves our chances.
Do you not understand the way Morey works? He "helps" teams find players or contracts then gets big names in return.He He drafted Batum to trade for 3 players. drafted Green to get Artest he traded a bad contract to get b. Jackson. He works in a different way.
lol Do you still trust in Morey. There is a thread that says no trade is the best trade. Well the trade we did was a bad trade. I mean Lowry is good player i seen him play in Villanova and he was great. Might I add we have a knock down shooter in Brian Cook but wow Morey you should have just said no smh .. Look at the bright side nomore Rafer "I'll shoot when the shot clock is at 24" alston.
I trust in Morey more than ever. Selling high and buying low is what ballas do. So just sit back and enjoy the show.
Im happy with the deal... We get another young, athletic, quick PG to play along the quickest PG in the NBA in Brooks who by the way is a better shooter and penetrater than Alston. Brian Cook... he is just another big body who can snag a board or 2 or 10 and then knock down a lil j... This is building for the future... Tracy is out of the equation altogether I believe. I love Morey... smart guy... he knows what he is doing. He probably made this move with another move in the offseason already in mind.
You know, I said I trust Morey and I still do. If he says Lowry is an upgrade over Rafer, I believe him. Maybe this is a trade to spark a huge run. I hope so.
DM is a Moneyball guy. I like Lowry as a backup,he would have added depth if Brooks wasn't around.Lowry could have helped Rafer out quite a bit.Rafer wasn't a good starter but Lowry isn't one either. Rafer did have the experience of playing with the team.Cook hasn't done anything good for a long while,only time will tell how is it going to work out.
Morey, the man able to turn lead into gold!! About 3 years ago, how many of you guys knew who landry, scola, or Ab was? What about Von Wafer? All these players were nobodys and now they are developing nicely into really good players. He recruits them when their value is dirt cheap, before anyone even has a chance to realize their potential. I honestly don't know Lowery's game, but for some reason DM has been pretty good at buying low and selling high. I'm guessing things will turn out better then what we had expected. He is a good business man. I LIKE!! =) He's brillant. He picked up a pg that he believes will be better then rafer for ~1/5th the cost. He picked up an 3.5 mil contract which expires next year in Cook. He probably can move Cook's contract when other teams are looking to relieve cap space. He's like the master chest player, 10 steps ahead of all the other GM's. Orlando won short term no doubt, but what the heck are they going to do when they want to resign hedo?? They are screwed financially. He is due for a raise and if I was hedo I would terminate the extension next year and ask for like 9-12 mil a year for 4 years. Then the rockets sign him. =)!!!!
Cook will exercise his $3.5M player option. We'll be paying $5.535M for Cook & Lowry next year - the last year of both their contracts. The Magic will be paying $5.250M for Rafer's last year of his contract. So how exactly did the Magic screw themselves? They'll save about $300K next year in salary.
