Look at the talent Denver got for Melo.

Look at what the Hornets got for CP3.

Now compare that to what we are reportedly getting for Dwight. How you can come away satisfied is completely insane.

seriously, its not a good trade....someone please tell me how its a decent trade?

Somewhere right now Otis Smith is laughing his ass off looking at this deal.

Jammer Nelson, Turkoglu, Duhon,Harrigton are so tradeable.

Maybe when all those big contracts burn off in 3 years you can go find a 20/9 center if one ever shakes loose

Still no official trade details? One of the magic insiders would have come on by now if this were the deal. Something should have slipped out by now on the details. I think people should calm down until we know the full details.

The great youth of someone who will be 27 years old when the season starts and has a bad contract.

afflalo will be good for at least 6 years. He will be our sefolosha when we are ready to contend.

For those defending this deal, go stick your neck out in the general board and defend it there... Then let me know which thread you posted in. I'll be getting my popcorn ready...

A young player with upside is not Affallo, Harkless or ****. A young player with upside is Favors, Gallo, Eric Gordon. Stop fooling yourselves.

Right with Lopez and Wallace on huge extensions we would have been much better off.

we wont pick Noel as hes VASTLY overated. Mohammed would probably be the better choice and harkless needs a bit of time to develop so affalo slides to SF to let Mohammed start. with that lineup i think we end up with a 2nd top 5 pick and we get wiggins and then we have a deep SG/SF rotation.

Just Playibg the season out with Dwight's seems sooo much Better

This deal is horrible. If this goes through as reported, I cannot see myself investing in this team anymore.

dwightmare has turned into a nightmare

Turk, Duhon, and Harrington are not guarenteed past this year. Nelson will be movable. Not saying they are the best assets, but every single piece can be moved now. We have no idea what offers we had.
