Exec. of the year!!!! Olshey!!

Sweeeet. Cook and a 2nd rounder for Young? Now that's a steal right there, even for a 2 month rental.

Yes. It's a great move for us. Neil appeases fans who were chomping at the bits for something. We get a SG that can add some offense off the bench even if he is streaky. McGee wanted $14M/year, and now they'll have Nene for $13M/year. Denver otoh...

[Kyle]

We passed on him when we picked Thornton back in 07, but its good that we got him now.

And we keep Bledsoe.

Great move to get Young and all we had to give up was Brian Cook and a 2nd rounder. I had said before if we were going to make moves I wanted someone to take Cook or Gomes. We finally have a 2 guard with size on the roster.

You all have no idea how badly I wanted us to take Young over Thornton.

[Kyle]

Looks like we almost got Courtney Lee. Young is a better scorer and a better fit imo. Lee would have given us a good defender though.

True. Different writers kept saying that Houston had a lot of talks with Lee, but were asking for too much in return.

Javale McGee was traded to Denver, because execs thought it'd be funny to see how his brain operates on less oxygen.

Glad we can right that wrong now.
