Toronto gets PG from MN

[Kosta]

Check out the numbers Humps put up in the month of December, he played in 15 games that month, averaged 10.5 points, 6.2 rebounds on 53% shooting in 21.3 minutes per game. He hasn't been getting much burn in the first 4 games this month, although had a nice game tonight against New York, 9 and 7. My point here is that when given the minutes Humphries has produced at a very nice rate, he's very valuable as the third big off the bench most nights, especially with the energy he brings and his solid offensive rebounding.

He's only 22 years old and signed to a very cheap long term contract, considering what decent bigs go for on the market, he's a great bargain at around 3 per the next 4 seasons or so.

This is a case where you don't trade big for small, the first rounder is just insult to injury.

Humphries is our best rebounder on the 2nd unit with Delfino, a friggen SG, on a what already is a horrible rebounding team we have, we need Humphries at the moment with his decent contract and age/upside

and what i meant by "humphries killed the deal" meant that since we dont want Telfair as our backup PG, by asking for humphries it kinda adds fuel to the fire

1) This, as it stands, is an AWFUL deal for Toronto.

2) MIN's 2008 2nd Round pick is being sent to the Pistons, and therefore can't be included in this deal.

I believe Minny has the option to defer the pick until 2009 if they notify the league prior to 30 days before the draft.

and asking us to give up our only young defensive big kinda kills it

Im sorry I am having difficulty with this. I remember watchin Kris play HS ball and in college at Minnesota and he was the exact opposite of this. Did someone teach him to actually play D. I watched on offense be a black hole where the ball went down and it went up for a shot or to the other team on a turnover. And he used to be the laziest defensive player on the floor. He must have really changed.

Our team is built around character guys, Telfair's presence ruins the chemistry. Why doesn't Minny give us their 08 first
