Carney showed some promise last season but it's very unlikely that he becomes anything more then a decent role player off the bench. It looks like this move is about to get us Elton Brand, so it was definitely worth it...

Speaking of which I have heard rumors that a radio station has said that will sign Brand and ESPN is saying that it is a 70/30 chance that he signs with the Sixers. Amazing turn of developments.

Does McHale really deserve any credit for this? Philly knew they needed cap space and overspent to get it. What was McHale going to say? No? Come on, if that's being a good GM than sign me up.

Well, how many teams had TPE's big enough to make this trade? Chicago, Houston, Memphis, New Jersey, Phoenix, OKC... I might be missing one. At least McHale managed to make sure his was the team that made this deal. But I agree, to a certain extent, he half lucked ass backwards into this.

And as for "Batting 1.000" lets see how Love and Mayo turn out first. That would isn't going to be ready to evaluate for years.
