Sonics 2008 1st Suns 2008 1st Sonics 2009 1st for Kenny Anderson Knicks 2007 1st Title: Hornets / Sonics Trade Post by: SonicsGM on April 21, 2005, 01:13:20 AM Sonics agree...I get another guaranteed lottery pick for a few picks that shouldn't be the same in the future.
Podkolzine....I loved having him, but I should get a better center in the draft now. Title: Hornets / Sonics Trade Post by: HornetsGM on April 21, 2005, 11:00:22 AM I have a lot of reasons for doing this trade:
1) Pavel had a good TC, and I think he will improve a lot 2) I don't like this year's draft; I think there is only one or two guys who could become stars, and the odds of the Knicks getting the top pick are slim IMO (check out their point differential compared to the other bad teams) 3) I think it is very difficult to build a team through the draft and free agency, and the Sonics will have to do just that. Even if they land a top FA, almost their entire squad will be made up of 1st and 2nd year players for a few years 4) The Suns, even with two pretty strong players, are still struggling quite a bit. I don't see them being able to fill the holes that they need to through the draft and use of the MLE. Bottom line, I traded Chris Andersen (who I wouldn't be able to resign b/c of bird years) and my 2009 1st for Podkolzine and 3 1st rounders... The only way I will be upset with this trade is if I traded the #1 pick.

Good call, I had not noticed that. That makes Anderson very available at the end of the year....

Yeah, that was a typo, I meant I wouldn't be able to resign him. Title: Hornets / Sonics Trade Post by: SixersGM on April 21, 2005, 11:41:20 AM My oh my!

Just kiddin' Title: Hornets / Sonics Trade Post by: NetsGM on April 21, 2005, 11:44:00 AM Sixers, 2 things.
1) what does that have to do with this thread? 2) Don't do that with the long post, it's really annoying. |
