Money works under both rules (1.5*12 > 15.8 and 12+5>15.8). Trust me, I'm good with math. I like oden's upside, and farmar makes a great backup to rose. great dealing NJ! it's been too long
The Nets are pleased to accept this deal from the Bulls. As always, the deal was examined from every angle and once completed - changed. I would expect nothing less from da Bulls! but feel that we both got what we wanted. Even "Blazer50" has to question Greg Oden's chances of ever really contributing in the Association, but Chi was partly interested in an expiring contract. Since NJ was looking to move OJ, Maggette was an attractive alternative. As a vet he is playing himself into shape, but with the clock running down Corey will get to rim, the line or pop from distance. He should be a great rotation with D Will and Shannon Brown. Frye is also a great acquisition with a big following from his days in NY. He offers the Stretch 5 versatility to Tyrus Thomas' banger approach while still being an active defender and rebounder. Farmer and Julian Wright were expendable and we retained Reggie Williams, Mike Dunleavy and Chris Singleton through both trades (95 & 96)
Great dealing with RR9 once again!
