I accept.

Rockets also sign Andrew Lundy and Allen Coles to bring us up to 15 and then 12 after this trade.

I did the trade because my team is obviously going nowhere this season, though we are still tied for the 8th spot somehow  :screwy:

I get back Richardson who I hope to resign for cheap. He will start in place of Kirilenko and should play some minutes on my team next season.

I also get Pollard who is a big scorer, which will help my struggling offense. It is also just his rookie season so I expect more from him in the coming seasons. Aridge is just a throw in who could turn out to be a good role player in the next few seasons.

All in all, I get some decent talent back for an aging star.

I think this helps both of us out in very different ways.

I now have Wade, O'Connell and Kirilenko who are all big time players with good defense! where as at the start of the season I was relying on O'Connell carrying my team.

Also, while Pollard is doing very well, I believe in 2 years time he will be a very average player...hint-hint

In that case you made out pretty damn well.
