    My bad, that may be true. But you have to agree that no one would've thought we could get a 14ppg, defensive stopper for KT. Especially someone young and playing a big role for his team. Oh, and to think Philly sent out Mark Bryant and Art Long.

    It's all about opinion, and very rarely do people agree on trades. There's just so much to consider. Chemistry, future, present, long term money, short term money, clashing personalities, baggage, ability to improve, youth vs experience, etc...

    For example, some people may think acquiring TyHill is a bad idea because he whines a lot. But eprsonally, I believe his attitude would change on a winning team where he plays a significant role. It's little things. That's why it's a discussion board. A Rockets discussion board, so the trades are going to get lopsided.

    But what's worse is when someone, for example, proposes Mobley for Ricky Davis, and someone comes in and says "Yeah right". Well, for a player who is angry at management, they'll trade him out as soon as possible. But then again, we're losing a key player int he team, and gaining a whiner. But we gain potential and scoring. We lose defense and chemistry.

    It's not that lopsided. But people make it seem so. Sometimes, teams trade players for nothing, just to get rid of them. So, yes, maybe Cleveland would make a stupid trade if they were having problems with a player.
