Bucks/Warriors trade: Monta Ellis, Udoh, Kwame for Bogut, S-Jax

[Xiao Yao You]

You gave up your best trade asset for a center that makes Bynum's knees look like concrete, and a nut case that will more likely than not be leaving your team in the forseeable future when his contract is up? No incoming picks, no young players to look foward to developing.

:

Bogut has had a couple unfortunate injuries. He's still young. Wouldn't count him out yet. It's a gamble but if it pays off it could be worth it. They get a high pick now with this trade instead of giving it to Utah if they finish 7th from the bottom or lower. A healthy Bogut, Curry with Lee, Thompson and the stud they get in the draft and they are looking pretty good along with Jackson's contract that expires after next year so he becomes more valuable by the day.

Not comparing where the injury occurred, but the durability of the player.

Still a bad comparison when Boguts are freak injuries and Bynum has legit knee problems that require regular injections of lubricant and could pop at any time

[heavensdevil]

Deal is done.

[Qwyjibo]

I like this deal for Golden State.

Obviously everything for them hinges on Bogut not getting these ridiculous injuries anymore. Monta Ellis isn't some untouchable player though where this should be considered some big risk unless they had other deals on the table for Ellis.

How many times can injuries be called freak injuries until they are just called injuries? When they happen consistently in a player's career, I think a player's durability must be called into question.

So far Bynum hasn't missed any games this season, knock on wood.

[Schism]

Yeah, Bogut will play very well with Curry at the medical center.

haha GS's players were all asking if the season was over before their game tonight...they weren't happy about the trade supposedly

i don't blame them. GS's GM is so dumb.

[clayton]

Now send Baron Davis back to GS.

[BlueCrayon]

THey only get to keep their pick this year if it's 7 or less. They are tanking.

[InspiredLebowski]

I'm pretty sure over the offseason the reports were that Bogut would basically never be the same as he was before the arm. It'll be a lifelong thing.

[yanix]

this trade is shocking
if you want to put Jackson on GSW, at least play him with Monta

Why didn't the lakers trade gasol + filler for ellis+udoh and kwame. They would have added much needed depth, along with a young piece(udoh) and a good rebounder and defensive player in kwame and much needed offensive firepower.
