who he play fo'?

[Top Gun]

Decent pickup but they're still getting bounced in the 1st round.

[DukeDelonte13]

MOOOOO Gotti!

[kshutts1]

Interesting deal for Charlotte. Really low risk, but it just further speaks to their wanting to get rid of Stephenson. How many play-makers can one team have?

[Mass Debator]

Aww wanted him on the Heat for Cole and something

I wanted him in Houston. Welp, Harden stays without a stacked supporting cast, just gonna build to his MVP resume.

[GimmeThat]

If that big 10 rebounding leader pans out to be a good/great defender due to some legal hand checking down low.

Sure.

Certainly not a blockbuster trade but I like it. The Hornets get a rental of a reliable PG and get rid of one of the worst chuckers in the league. I guarantee PJ Hairston is loving this deal.

[Springsteen]

Upset to say the least. Wanted a Mo-Cavs reunion dearly.

[SwishSquared]

I think it's a good move for CLT. Not sure if that second has heavy protections on it or anything. They weren't gonna re-sign Neal and get a decent end-of-bench shooter in Daniels. Guess this was best deal offered to Flip and he jumped on it.

Would've loved to have Mo Gotti back in CLE. One of my favorite Cavaliers ever.

[Demon Lizard]

Hornets now have a player capable of dropping 50 in a game :rockon:

[LiLharvard]

Troy Daniels is a reincarnation of Ray Allen

That'd be the best option if the Wolves want to tank, but do they? We will see. Flip plays Lorenzo Brown over him as well. I suppose they most likely will cut Brown though.

i liked him, until he said that he considered retirement after lebron bailed to miami

i could never respect him after that

Pretty solid trade for both sides.

Minnesota
- Increases their chance for the highest possible draft choice (aka increase tanking).
- Allows for more development time for LaVine.
- Acquire 2nd round pick. Charlotte is not exactly the model of consistent success so it could be a high pick depending on protections.
- Lose nothing of real value.

Charlotte
- Strengthens their chances of holding onto a playoff spot.
- Viable replacement (by replacement standards) for Kemba without adding future salary.
- Allows Stephenson to play more off the ball.
- Give up minimal value.

Charlotte is truly retarded.
