    Lowry/Calderon
    Derozan/Ross
    Fields/Kleiza/Ross
    Bargnani/Davis
    Valacinuas/Johnson

    Will make the playoffs, and i don't think were getting 4 picks just one. Somebody probably got confused on the layover thing and thought they were different picks each year.

    Should have gotten more for Lowry, but Morey held onto him too long.

    Don't love this deal. Would have preferred it if Ross were included.

    Wow, I like those conditions.

    This season is going to hurt...but think of it as an unhealthy man changing his diet and going on an exercise regimen. It will definitely be painful in the short-term...but the potential benefits are too good to pass up. And you'll look awesome if you really keep at it.

    WTF? You'd prefer he be traded last February? When his value was at an all-time low? He was pretty much traded on draft night, but Sacramento got their man and it all went to hell. We're essentially getting just as good of a pick for Kyle now as we would've during the draft, only the pick is for the future and not this year.

    Too long? Seriously? Who has Morey ever held onto 'too long'?

    Most likely late lottery pick given they are now a pretty strong team. Even if 2 first and 2 second, it's not enough to be converted to #8 pick in a strong draft class. We are screwed if it's not 4 picks.

    You basically gave Lowry up for another 10-14 pick in this draft and a scub. Toronto isnt half bad. They picked 8th last year and are gonna be better. So we get a pick around the same area. I guess Morey had to go for it. That coupled with our season of suck coming could help if they have 2 top 10 picks.

    HOW? When was a better time to trade him?


    Both were traded at the peak of their value, remember?


    Lmao. Nice try.

    Your link just leads to an article saying we get one lotto pick and Forbes, nothing at all about 2 1sts and 2 2nd's.

    So you're just going to act like Morey didn't trade Scola and Martin before last season? You're also gonna sit here and act like Les would let Morey trade Yao?

    Want to keep going?

    Who is Alan Iverson? I only know Allen Iverson...There is a huge difference between him and Brooks! Especially since Brooks averaged about 20 ppg when he last played here. He had about half the ppg playing behind Nash in half the mpg. I'm sure he will do just fine! Especially since it has been made clear that we are either going to make a trade this offseason and/or completely rebuild!

    Lowry is going to be their leading rebounder if Johnson/Davis don't get significant minutes.

    I'm not kidding.

    Do Lowry and fields make them (seasonally-adjusted) 10-12 games better? It will be close.
