This was an unbelievable trade for Henny. GREAT trade.

Its pretty clear we are focusing on PG in the draft with Meer the only one on the roster next year.

They must really like Smart

BTW, less JJ means more loses. Add that to the trade

This would appear to signal the end of Etwaun Moore's playing time this year, unless we plan on buying out Udrih, which I suppose is possible, but I doubt that happens. Otherwise Udrih's pretty clearly going to play at that spot. Pretty big upgrade, too. Counterproductive for our purposes this year, but a big upgrade nonetheless.

Lamb can still become a good rotation guy and was a great second round pick. Shot wasn't falling for us but it will and he will be a solid shooter.

Does Harris play better at SG or SF?

SF and can play some PF. Needs to work on D but he already has some great moves on O and a decent post game.

We have reportedly the 2nd hardest schedule so i don't think we were gonna win much anyway. I don't expect more than 3 more wins for the rest of the season honestly. I guess you can take away those now though. :lol:

I'm not saying Tobias will be anything of that level, but he was drafted at 18. Teams are too quick to give up on these guys, give um a shot to develop with the right expectations and who knows.

Bad example. Chandler was above average in Chicago. He was just on awful teams. He was still blocking shots at a high rate and grabbing rebounds. For example, Dwight's career block% is 4.5%. Chandler was at 5.0% as a rookie.

Surely there must be a pick (or a right to swap second rounders) with CHA for the McRoberts trade. The Magic can't just be gifting $865,000, can they?

I have multiple JJ jerseys and still am excited about this deal. That a boy henny.

we traded ish and nelson is probably out for a while with knee issues, and I'm sure we will still play afflalo at the 3 to ensure the tank

That's what I figured. I'm actually really excited about that.

The only reason I see a mcbob war rick swap is if henny plans to pick up his option next season as an expiring asset and making the big push after next season

OK now that the trade deadline is up....what is our cap situation looking like this summer? Anybody?

fatlever wrote:cats fan here. trying to figure out orlando's motivation for trading mcroberts for warrick. both play same position. same length of deals (warrick has team option for next year). but warrick makes slightly more money and is arguably worse (trust us - if you cant crack the cats frontcourt rotation of bismack, mullens, haywood and jeff adrien then you are awful - see diop, tyrus and warrick).

thoughts?

I think it was about extending possible salary cap room till next year. Don't think Henny wanted room this year and this just gives us a player we can use next year that expires next year

Henny isn't even close to Pimp level yet. Actually, I am not impressed with any of his deals today. But, JJ was a mid round pick and Harris was 19th pick, so it was more of a lateral move.

Personally, I don't think the deal was worth JJ, but it could have been worse. I am not sold on Henny yet . . .
