just shows Alex has no inside sources and has no idea what is going on

[NickAnderson]

Maybe the Cavs wanted him instead of AA?

[Hilltop]

So the Jabari Parker dream is out the window then?

[OrlandoNed]

I'm gonna chill out and wait and see what happens. There has to be more to this.

Dont we already have a ton of flexibility?

You know, we can get flexibility with better trades than this. I was led to believe afflalo had at least an ounce of value

Could we possibly be assisting in that rumored Twolves/Nuggets Love deal from a while back?

[Malik Starks]

WTF

This has been rumored about a while back, with the Nuggets trying to attract Kevin Love. What I'm hearing about coming back to us: Evan Fournier and the 56th pick, seems like straight up giveaway though.

This was the exact same reaction to BOTH the Dwight trade AND the JJ trade. They both turned out well. So let's just sit back and wait a bit before judging guys.

That's upsetting if true. I was saying we needed to trade him back then.

I'm just going to hope for the best out of Fournier who's a nice young talent and ignore this tweet. Also nice to have a 2nd round pick, now.

[arkknight1988]

Fournier can make some plays and he fits with our youth. I'm not hating the trade, just wish the pick was better

[MagicFan41]

For somebody (Henny) who has been preaching not having a team filled with 20 yr olds, that we need veterans too....this trade, in a vacuum makes little sense. Especially since Afflalo has more value around the league than this, everyone knows this. So let's just sit and be patient and see if another domino falls. I would have to think another move is in the works in conjunction.

[OrlDave]

We don't know the full details yet. Let's not panic and see how it shakes out.

[Driguez]

Wait and see guys.

worse trades have been made for players. this isnt a win move unless Henny really see's something that other people dont. I mean, Denver needs a SG, so they trade one away for an older one. Obviously means they are trading a lesser player. Why would we want a lesser player?

Who said anything about a win now move? Who would trade a 21 year old SG for a equally talented 29 year old SG? Come on dude. He's young talent.

i disagree that Fournier is equally as talented.

Thats exactly what I said. WHY would a team trade a lesser talented SG for an equally talented SG? This is a move to get youth talent

[theTHIEF]

IDK why people are complaining, now we can make a run at Khem Birch with #56.

[Driguez]

I do trust Rob. No need to panic.

The dark horse to obtain Afflalo still remains the Charlotte Hornets, who have long coveted him and are willing to give up the ninth pick and a roster player

If this is part of a 3 team trade with Minnesota, then its possible we have more coming than fournier and a pick that is so late it might as well not exist

[orlando1214]

To me this deal will be judged by what happens next, so I'm trying not to be too confused because I feel something else is going to happen. As for Evan Fournier, I think he's a pretty decent young player and if we gotten him any other way then I'd be very happy. Should be a good guy off the bench, but getting just him and a 2nd rounder just doesnt seem to be enough.

[Orlando Tragic]

Tell me we didn't just go from trading for the #1 pick to # 56 in less than an hour.

[woosah]

Maybe Cleveland will take 4 & 12 for 1????????????

or it's 4 & 12 and Tobes

wtf are we doing?
