I think the trade was suggested, NOH signed off on it, and then GSW FO was like: "No Howard, no Ellis!"

This team has the biggest erections for Jameer. The only for us to move forward is to trade him.

Probably don't make it far in the playoffs after trading away so many key pieces, but it gives Dwight a young, athletic guard to team with for the future...

Being able to keep Jameer through all this would be huge.

Any Anderson trade means a heavy dose of Big Baby for the next few years...

Do I really need to start spouting off just how historically amazing Anderson's season has been so far?

Anderson wasnt rated a top 50 trade asset for nothing, he is in the top 10 pfs in the league at this point, and how many people here would actually take Amare over him right now???? Not me

Anderson's departure was written on the wall once we drafted Harper. I'm not saying Harper can fill Ryan's shoes (yet?), but Otis, and the rest of the FO, saw something in Harper that made them trade for him and making Ryan more expendable.

Yeah, huge in paving the way for our demise. You just know the Magic are getting the fullest boners just thinking of starting him with Ellis. Yeah I'm sure we are going to laugh our way to the title with a pipsqueak and ball-dominant PG and SG combo.

very true.. something that hasn't been brought up a whole lot.. But we did trade to get Harper. Who knows when/if he will ever be NBA ready, but we'll see
