don't care about the 2012 protected first really (I'm sure I will in 2 years...) but the worst part of this trade is gonna be watching 30 minutes of Stevie Graham a night. puke

I like the trade maybe DJ and Henderson can get more of a roll on the team now.

but when we take out nazr to go small lineup and put boris at center its going to be better with tyrus their

[SirBobcat]

YES! YES! YES! YES! We got Tyrus Thomas! This dude was being held down in Chicago and now he's going to tear the house down in Charlotte. You guys are going to love this move down the road!

Guys,
Our front court is so dman pathetic what choice did we have

Look at our current 1st round pick - he sits on the bench. This team builds thru trades not the draft I think we have a long history of that at this point

We will need to resign felton this summer for sure. I think DJ off the bench at the 2 spot with felton has always worked well is small stretches which is all we need to give Jax a break

Good move i think. Flip while having his moments is too damn streaky and our backcourt is still solid. Our front court has been one of the worst in the league - this helps make that better.

I just wish we could have offloaded a center but we know all of their contracts are soo terrible that is tough to do. We are still overstocked at Center

There is no reason to see that - think you will see 15 mins of him but DJ should certainly get more burn and hopefully next year Henderson can actually start to contribute. If not it is another draft bust

"Chris Littman: Disappointed I'll be missing Antawn Jamison's likely Cavs debut here in CLT Friday. (Could also be Tyrus Thomas' debut.) #nba 24 minutes ago."

in link form for those interested. nothing new though

[Robertpel9]

Plus look at it this way, we gave up a draft pick for him. Flip was basically a freebie we picked up in the offseason (a decent one at that but still a freebie) and Acie Law/ Enough said.

We got a #4 pick from CHI that we know can produce for essentially a draft pick in the future where who knows if that player would produce and two throw ins

Good Trade
