Wait, Calderon was in the deal and we didn't give up picks? This deal is okay.

This team can be a 2 seed in the East.

for like 1-2 years then it's back to mediocrity.

Not really. When Rose expires we'll have another 25 million to play with next year or try to clear out for a max cat.

Horford actually is a distinct possibility now from what I'm hearing.

Phil has to be trying to tank. Cause I can't find any logic in trading our center for Rose. Rose has been done for a while now.

HAHA
Seriously, people act like we lost Shaq and Kobe in their prime.

Honestly, this is the only silver lining I see in the deal right now - but not in the way you meant it.

Robin Lopez hasn't exactly been a bastion of health in his career, and missed a bunch of games two years ago, after he logged a ton of minutes the prior year. Then again he HAS played 82 games three times in his career and is only 28.

Oh well, I tried. I've always had this irrational fear that a RoLo injury is right around the corner. That's all I got.

Hope Rose somehow rejuvenates his body/game, and also just pays for the dildo next time he wants to run train on his chick.

Still have our 3 mil trade exception to go after a pick.

Wish we could have bought the bulls pick in this deal, you know their pick +3 mill in cash.
Maybe that will still happen with another asset?

Rose/Melo/KP/Horford Is really really nice.

Was shocked and disappointed at first but looking at the bigger picture this is not too bad.

We get Rose and clear lots of space for future seasons. Sold high on Lopez, we have room to get a center just as good as Lopez and Rose might ay great in the triangle and under Hornacek

Just gotta stay optimistic...

Trade would be even better if we got a first rounder back

Heads and shoulders better than anything else out there at the 5. Not sure he's worth the max at 30, but I'm positive Dwight isn't.

That or he'll dominate the ball and go into even more ISO Rose than even he tried last year.
