Steven A Smith ripped into MJ during the NBA draft today on ESPN; he went on about how it was a stupid trade and one of the biggest mistakes made

GSW gave up a player with a huge contract and bad knees and received a very good young promising kid who will develop into a quality NBA player.

MJ strike 2 in dumb draft moves.

SAS is a bobcats hater to begin with.

At first he ripped into them about being cheap, and then he gives the Cats sh#t about spending money on J-Rich.

He's a legit 20 ppg scorer that we desperately needed. This fixes a serious need for the cats which couldn't be fixed with the 8th pick rookie.

This trade is a wash. What makes it great for the Warriors is the 10 million TE they get from this deal.

For some strange reason I don't think Wright will be a Warrior for long. Im expecting the Warriors to have a large crack at KG and Wright being involved.

They obviously feel they have the nucleus already with okafor, felton, wallace, may, morrison. Why wait 2-3 years to see how Wright pans out when you already have the young talent and need a proven scorer? For those questioning his knees the Bobcats GM Rod Higgins was the Warriors assistant GM last year. If his knees were really an issue then surely Higgins would already know this. They've still got free agency to add to to the roster so your looking at a playoff team in the east no doubt.

Foyle, ellis, wright, harrington, draft picks? Id say all would be thrown at the wolves for KG

KG wont go to GS. he wants a contender. And without J-rich, they're not a contender anymore (they weren't anyway, but now they're even further away from being one). why sell your 2nd top player when you're on the verge of having a good team? Stupid trade. Works out well for Charlotte though. its good to see them spending money.

SAS thinks the sun shines out his ass. Great move for Bobcats, as far as a quick fix. Plus ill interest Gerald Wallace to hang around. With a Fit Okafor, this team will make playoffs.

This would be my trade between Phoenix/Bulls/Lakers/New York

Lakers & Suns would get New York and Bulls first round picks for two years.

It would result in rosters:

Bulls

C Brown/Noah/Andriuskevicius
F Nocioni/Frye
F Gordon/Thomas
G Byrant/Richardson
G Hinrich/Barrett or FA

Knicks

C Wallace/Curry/Cato
F Marion/Brown/Rose
F Q.Richardson/Deng
G Crawford/Griffen
G Robinson/Duhon

Suns

C FA/Marks
F Bynum/Jones
F Francis/Diaw
G Marbury/Bell
G Nash/Barbosa/Banks

Lakers

C Mihm/Thomas
F Stoudamire/Turiaf
F Odom/Vujacic/FA
G Radmanovic/Sefolosha/Walton
G Parker/McKie/Cook

Except 123 Frye has been traded to Portland in a draft day deal.

as much as i didnt bother reading and understanding all that - i read it enough to notice that stevie francis is now a blazer...so...ur trade kinda...doesnt work anymoere

mmm - didnt pick up frye - now its doublely rooted

and the nicks have wallace and curry on the same team!?!, thats just stupid

Bynum at PF? are you expecting them to sign a 7'4 FA?

123abc, that is a truly disgusting trade. Do you hate phoenix so? Trade Amare and Marion for Marbury and Francis? are you insane

that is the wost possible trade, phoenix wont trade anyone unless they get KG or someone as dominant as KG, and then they will only considerite that trade

haha - poor abc..takes all this time to do this and he gets the absolute shite bagged out of him...not that he doesnt deserve it
