    Its the only thing that makes sense. If there isn't another trade coming later today then we can puke.

    But still a first rounder for an injured free agent? in perspective its not that bad, but i dont think Morey is finished working today.

    Hate to see DMo go. I'm assuming there is a PF on the way in another deal. Joel Anthony hopefully doesn't make it to a single practice

    Well McDaniels doesn't have a shot at all. ;) - His range is 2 feet from the basket.

    If DMo thrives with SVG I'm going to be rather upset. I sure hope we didn't get screwed and that DM has another move in mind.

    Looks like Moreh wants to tank the rest of this season. Might as well have traded Dwight to Charlotte then to raise Pistons pick value.

    Excited to see us use the pick on a 6"7 PF who can't shoot the 3 and then watch the guy taken directly before be amazing

    Joel Anthony and a first rd. pick which Morey will undoubtedly botch yet again for 2 of our better, reliable scoring options??!!!! D-mo a 7 footer with a post game and Thornton aka Mr. instant offense for the fossil of Joel ****ing Anthony who I didn't even realize was still in the ****ing League!!! WTF!! Morey your pudgy ass better have a plan!

    This feels like a precursor move. Someone wants a pick instead of D-Mo.

    Any chance this comes back due to failed physical?

    It would be like the Horry trade 20 years ago, same two teams.

    So with Frye going to the Cavs, we can do the DH for KLove trade now? :D
