Deal works.
We feel, Dwight would have left after the season anyway, so we decided to get something back in return. And this return is really good. We get top 5 center in the league Andrew Bogut, who is still not old, also we get high draft pick Derrick Williams, who may become a future superstar. Also we get Anthony Randolph, who may become next Lamar Odom or even better. Also, we get veteran PG Ridnour, who brings experience and leadership to my team. Lazar Hayward and 2 1st draft picks are ok, even though, we don’t value them much. Last, but not least, we get rid of Hedo’s huge contract.
Trade approved, great job, guys.
