They have a great future, sure. but this last season was so-so. Good deals (getting Magloire, Deng), bad deals (trading Shaq) and no deals (refusing to add a veteran to Shaq and Smith cost him the season imho - no way Shaq could win with 7 Rookies or so).

And in case i didn't tell before - I dont like that Magloire for (now) Ostertag & Jim Finley deal at all for the Sonics - sets them back at least 2 seasons at C.

Quick question:  How is the Magloire/Deng acquisition a good trade and the Shaq trade a bad one?  It was the same deal!

1. Trading Shaq away at all was bad because - as far as I believe - you could have gone deep in the playoffs with him (and not with Magloire/Deng as you found out)

2. Getting Magloire/Deng for him was very good. A future superstar (who was not ready yet) and a pretty good C.

3. Converting Magloire to an Ostertag/Finley combo is bad. Ostertag doesn't help you a lot now and Finley wont before most fellow young guys are out of their rookie contracts

So one deal can be good and bad at the same time. Again, this is nothing personal, just my opinion on these trades ...  Cool
