PLEASE LET IT BE FOR HARRINGTON OR SUCH
Pronto was the word he used. He knows where the need is and I think now that they have done this deal they can address the next phase of the plan. Also to me, Harrington won't be around much longer, just another trade piece. You may get your wish.
Flexibility was a word used a lot, and a massive smile came on Rob's face when he mentioned the massive TPE we got in the trade.
This is just the beginning, we will find a few more pieces.
Loved what he said about Harkless. He was the guy we wanted in the draft and had lottery level ability. With the right development we believe he can be a very good player in the league. I agree. So much natural potential. Sounds like a good kid too.
I don't know why people are mentioning JV looking depressed,I guess you read what you want to out of situations. I think his persona is that way all the time, watch his other press conferences. Really relaxed and calm. Always takes a moment to think of an answer. Joked around too. A lot of people here just emotionally upset and want to be angry so will judge everything based on that. To me that was a great PC that showed they had a plan throughout and were not going to be effected by emotion. Maybe after you guys who are blowing your lid relax, take another look.
Liked the comment about when you rebuild you have to be careful to not go too young, you need some solid vets, that is your answer for Jameer being around and he was specifically talking about Aaron Afflalo who sounds like a great guy and very talented player. I think Rob knows what he wants in building right.
What I am pissed about is the reporters instead of talking about what we got, kept talking about situations of players gone (Dwight) and league issues. This was a great chance to discuss why we obtained the players we did. We only got answers on Aaron and Mo.
As I said, the hate mob will be filthy, surprised by the reaction, to me it looked like they were in control and were not gong to make decisions based on emotions, but rather on substance and structure and research. Love the flexibility it brings to our team.
I am pumped about the immediate and long term future. More than I have been for a long while.
Can't wait to see the next move.

Henny had to have known the immediate fallout was going to be bad. Guess what people, had he made any of the other trades with NJ or Houston, you'd all still be crying bloody murder about it. Unless we somehow swung Dwight for Lebron+filler, there was really no pleasing some of you.
We thought Hennigans vision was decent enough in theory, but now that it's finally happening we're going to overreact when we all knew exactly what was coming. Human emotions are a funny thing.
