Their draft picks, and their interest in Monroe don't make much sense either. Seems like a pattern.

Got Foriengeeeeey and a second, cleared cap space. Maybe they'll start BG now or 6th man off the bench to see if they can revive his career as a shooter. 2 year deal on a tanking team that REALLY lacks shooters, they might hit a HR with it. Or they may just be able to move him like they moved Affalo for something, even if it is a second rounder.

Yeah I cant imagine anyone would trade away AA for nothing so they can bring in BG Oh wait........


On the bright side for Orlando BG is well rested and healthy.

:lol:

Scott Perry was the lead asst GM in both situations too. I guess he thought trading Afflalo for nothing in order to overpay BG once in a career wasn't enough...lol

So glad we didn't hire that guy to be our GM.

I thought the same thing and had forgotten the Perry connection. That's pretty fantastic.

Trading away Afflalo for fournier and cap space, so that they have the room to sign Ben Gordon. Lmao.
