Title: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: GrizzliesGM on December 07, 2006, 10:21:38 AM Grizzlies trade Kirilenko to the rockets for
Aridge Richardson Pollard Grizzlies Accept. Title: Re: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: Str8westcoasta on December 08, 2006, 07:50:01 AM I accept.
Rockets also sign Andrew Lundy and Allen Coles to bring us up to 15 and then 12 after this trade. (See Cut/Sign Forum) Title: Re: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: GrizzliesGM on December 08, 2006, 04:22:08 PM 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. Title: Re: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: Str8westcoasta on December 08, 2006, 04:35:14 PM 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 Title: Re: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: WizardsGM on December 08, 2006, 04:58:04 PM Also, while Pollard is doing very well, I believe in 2 years time he will be a very average player...hint-hint oh burn! I did that with Seth Magloire too hehe Title: Re: Grizzlies/Rockets Post by: GrizzliesGM on December 08, 2006, 08:15:05 PM I think this helps both of us out in very different ways.
