Janders 102 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 I'm actually ok with this deal, though I am not totally convinced it's going down (maybe 90% sure :P ). Afflalo is an upgrade over JRich, future picks are always good, Harkless was a guy I was hoping would fall to us in the draft, and stacking up on big men is a great strategy seeing how limited they seem to be in this league.

Diplo 12 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 People who are ok with this trade are weird. It's straight up awful. We get tapped out veterans and low draft picks. And only getting rid of J-Rich while taking on another bad contract in Harrington (another PF!) I do like Harkless but we're trading Dwight Howard here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This trade, as reported right now at least, f****** sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Laker fan here: With Gasol not going to any team, I just don't see how this trade , which is supposedly agreed upon by all parties, tops what the Rockets are offering. Its pretty much like getting martin, lamb, donatas, and picks from houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibn Battuta 127 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 but we're trading Dwight Howard here. I think this is the hardest part for all of us. He's only worth a vucevic and moe harkless. sigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
