Spurs agree.
Smith wasn't in my long term plans so I was going to shop him this season. I hate losing Kundla but get a solid young player with poor potential in return + the 3 draft picks.

This trade is huge for the Sonics.
Joe Smith gives this team a rebounding force to play next to Shaq and a young combo guard that will immediately start over Stockton at SG. (However, a strong TC from either player will decide who is the starter)
The starting lineup as we speak:
C - Shaquille O'Neal
PF - Joe Smith
SF - Roberto Dickau
SG - Trent Kundla
PG - Nicklaus English
This team is pretty much set, and I just need to add my two exceptions.
Finals, here we come!

damn, i thought i had a top 5 pick in the Sonics 2008 but I guess it's more likely in the 20-25 range

Hey, if you do well, do I get a "GM of the year" vote for shaq-gate?
BTW, I think this trade fits more in the spurs philosophy than keeping Smith, who while may marginally help them wouldn't have gotten them anywhere.

Lucky..maybe a bit.
I did have the cash to throw Shaq's way. I didn't think that I would land him, but I did have the money that he wanted.

Now, don't get me wrong, Sonics did a tremendous job getting 3 of the top 4 picks, and turning that into very good talent (although that might have been better in a different year. Imagine him ending up with Oscar Ferry, Garrett Pettit and Mason Mercer  ). |

That being said, this is the trade that likely makes the Sonics serious contenders this year.
Joe Smith is a great role player to have next to Shaq.
For the Spurs, they get three picks, but most would appear to be non-lottery. But would you ever get more for Joe Smith??? I think not. They got more then value for the Joe Smith.
Win win, although this makes the Spurs worse in the short term. I thought the Smith addition helped them last year.
