I was just wondering what everyone thought on these HUGE REAL BLOCKBUSTER TRADES. I can say this i just hope rest of the trading season stays this active. These are huge trades. I thought this GREATLY GREATLY helped the lakers. The 2 first round picks may hurt long run but im more a believer in winning now. To give up Kwame and crittton (sp) for a guy like gasol thats a steal. Alot of people in chicago are now saying ehhhh gasol isnt that good blah blah blah i say you know what give me a all star caliber PF/C for a bag of balls any day of the week im just bummed my bulls didnt get him. I think this makes the laker's a definite top 4 or 5 team and makes the west that much better.
Shaq to the suns.... WOW if this goes through and seems it will thats pretty big.... thing is i dont know if it helps them... my thoughts is that it will actually slow them down. now if this just for the playoffs then you know what i like it.. If they can keep him healthy and even sit him while still getting say 55 wins and say a 3 or 4 seed then play him in the playoffs while it naturally slows down then great trade and who knows maybe they win... That being said hes still got TWO MORE YRS at 20 mil and hes basically a stiff already. Hes good but gl keeping him out there 35 min agame. Matrix had only one more yr at 17 mil and he could have opted out after this yr. My thought if i were the suns trade him fine but get some youth back or fill needs better.
Miami i love the trade. you get rid of a HUGE cost that was greatly declining. You dont NEED to win this yr so get the high pick try to resign Matrix and start rebuilding your relationship with a younger team around Wade and Matrix before Wade decides to walk as well. I believe hes got opt out After NEXT YR as well. I think miami is still a ways away with that horrid depth but still if i was a Miami fan id much go to a game with WADE/MATRIX then Wade and OLD SHAQ.
What are your thoughts on these BIG trades and what you guys looking for before the trade deadline.... Like id still LOVE for my bulls to go after someone. even if we cant win this yr id love to shake up our team then maybe try to go after a guy like larry brown in the offseason as coach. (i hate him and think hes a pudwack but he seems to be able to win)
