Still hearing that the four-team deal is bigger than what has been reported. Don't be surprised if additional players are in finalized deal.

Vucevic seems like he has good size 7 footer 260....from what i've read he has a solid post game not great but he has moves and counter moves..... surprisingly he has range out to the 3pt line.....He's slow and his defense leaves a lot to be desired but at 21 not a bad prospect..... definitely see the potential.......We still have somewhat of a logjam at the 4 position....

Edit....On the radio they're calling Rob Hennigan "Robbed" Hennigan....kinda funny

I think what pisses me off the most is that the picks are protected. Like seriously??? WTF!!

It's like a middle finger to the face. As if giving up Dwight Howard for free wasn't enough.

From the little I saw on Vucevic online, his game reminds me a little of D-Mo's to be honest. Maybe that's part of the vision for taking this but not Houston's deal???

Well remember that not all of these teams are getting Dwight. For what they're giving up it might be worth it for them to protect the pick. Let's wait and see how the picks are protected.

I don't understand the backlash towards this trade.

I think the general assumption moving forward was "rebuild mode" from the gate, right? Unload contracts, bring in youth/picks/assets.

Some of you guys wanted a "tank" this season, in hopes for a lottery pick.

Looks like all of the above is happening..

Lottery protected or not, all of the teams will make the playoffs (maybe Sixers wont), so we would pick up a player above #15 anyway.

I really hope Duhon somehow gets minutes for LA...via injury or whatever. Kobe will tear him a new one.

The biggest problem I have is the quality of ( or lack thereof) the draft picks.

I don't see why denver would want iguodala they already have gallinari unless they plan on playing them together I would say j rich goes to Denver and Turk goes to sixers but I can't wait to see Duhon playing for the lakers

Duhon wont even sit in the bench, he will be a 3rd string PG there, Blake is the backup.

I hoped that we got Iggy as the face of our franchise and also rebuild mode..every championship team needs that one guy, you know.

magicman123 · Post #77 » by **magicman123** » Fri Aug 10, 2012 1:34 pm

My problem is also quality of the picks and quality of the young talent, ok we get harkless (still not a lottery pick) and what? EyengA? A soft shooting vucevic? A bad troubled Harrington? It's not like we loaded on talent or picks, but hey tank mode it is

well, the others have a track record. I can expect it from Kyle, from his roots and the team he played on. We have no idea about Harkless.
