You never know, sometimes something magical can happen if the pieces fit... Just remember Toronto's Rudy Gay trade, where they got much lesser talent in return but improved from a lottery team to a playoff team over night.

LOL How did I forget about the unicycle skills? He did that one year at the midnight season kickoff event that Duke has.

Can we please run a lineup of Belinelli - Frank - Cody - Miles - Tobey? Pretty please?

Today's trade makes All-Star Kemba Walker the 6th highest paid Hornet over the next two seasons after Zeller's extension kicks in.

MIL disproves my theory that teams don't trade players they extended the past summer. What a bizarre situation for them.

Can't help but think of this as another move in the series of moves that could have been avoided by trying to resign Biz 2 years ago when we probably could have locked him up long term for much cheaper than his current deal, and cheaper than Miles.

Moving on...

Milwaukee fans say thank you thank you thank you for taking us off the hook for maybe the worst signing of last offseason. Did the Bucks have incriminating pictures of MJ?

He's been really really strange guarding the PNR this year. He's more than mobile enough to stay with guys, but he has a tendency to just slow his movement right around the restricted area and take a second to think. It's like he has a stroke every time he has to make a decision, and is late as a result.

It seems like this was designed to free up more playing time for Frank. Plumlee is an insurance policy because Zeller can't stay healthy. That's one hell of an expensive insurance policy, however. Especially for a marginal player.

The more i think about this I really am ok with this trade...12 mil is pretty much the going rate for centers, he is athletic with solid defense this should make this team better.

That's where I'm at. The real impact is we have to let the dream of a top tier URFA coming to town die. It was pretty unrealistic to begin with though.

We're going to improve going forward with organic growth, trades, and picks.

I came here to ask if we got the good one, but I'm guessing that means we didn't.....

I was hoping it was the athletic one that hopped all over us when he was on the Nets.
