Isn't getting Tobias Harris like getting that coveted non-lottery pick so many of you guys wanted?

I mean, he's a young bench player. That's what you get 9 times out of 10 outside the lottery...

Glad that JJ got traded somewhere he can get the deal he wants, and that we got more than nothing out of it. Time will tell how much we actually got out of it with the players coming in.

Still waiting for the tweet, "Orlando will also get Milwaukee's 1st round pick" Or even a 2nd?

Harris has shown nothing that gives me hope he will turn into a better player than Redick. Udrih and lamb won't even be on the team by the time we're competing. This trade was hot garbage without a pick.

Tobias Harris is better than a 20 something 1st rounder.

I like the trade

Warrick for McBob straight up (both expirings, as Warrick's final year is a team option) saves the Bobcats $865,000 in salary this year, so we may be getting a 2nd rounder in that as an incentive.

Magic probably preferred two prospects in Harris and Lamb as opposed to a bad 1st in a bad draft (2013).

Not as sexy, but you are right.

Their board is mad and so is ours.

I think it's okay. I just hope JJ gets his payday and does well. One of those guards will have to play soon with Jameer being injured. On with the tank fest!

So is O'Quinn the franchise's next backup center?

Tobias is only 20 guys, Id rather have a 20 year old with good upside whos seen a little pt then wait a year before a 20 year old plays anything and was drafted in the late 1st.

Obviously the best trade out there, but wow this is unexciting to say the least.

You know we could have asked for 2014 picks right?

He's not better than Redick though. We should have gotten Harris AND a pick.
