Antihero 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 The caliber of prospect when they were traded for stars like Melo, DW, and KG not the players as of now. A prospect like Evan Turner is what I'm suggesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catman 380 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Harrington's last two years are not guarenteed... maybe we can buy him out? I doubt Afflalo can score 19 ppg... he doesn't create his own shot... he is a 3x better version of Keith Bogans and that's about it... 7.5 mil is a bit high for a 15ppg guy who is hitting the ceiling He can create a shot or he would not average 15 points a game on a team like Denver. Also, you have zero idea if he is hitting the ceiling or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrjr1229 9 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 He will only be 30 at the end of his 4 year contract. JRich will be 34 at the end of his and it's only for 3 years. it would only make sense if Rob flip Aron to a contender at deadline.... then that would be a good deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wharf Rat 94 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 So we dump J-Rich/Duhon, can buy out or trade Turk/Harrington after this season, get potential in Vucevic/Harkless, get Afflalo as a nice veteran piece. We get our own draft picks in the top of the lotto from being terrible for a couple years, get complimentary picks from the other teams in the trade, AND we set ourselves up as players in free agency in the coming years with lots of cap space. Oh yeah, and this was accomplished after Dwight and HWNSNBU completely destroyed our leverage. AND THIS TRADE IS GETTING BLASTED FOR SHORTSIGHTEDNESS AND STUPIDITY. WHAT WORLD IS THIS? SOMEONE HONESTLY EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS IS "THE WORST TRADE IN NBA HISTORY". DO IT. I DARE YOU. I'LL BE WAITING. This. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drain-O 369 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Look in the NBA you either bottom out and rebuild or you are a contender. Being stuck in the middle is the worst. So we become like the Jazz or Nuggets and get the 5-8 seed every year and be a first round casualty. No thanks. I would rather build towards a better goal. I know the immediacy is to get on ESPN and feel sorry for ourselves but you have to be patient. Dwight gave us a 2 team list and we made it work without paying Lopez and Humphries 25 million this year. It will be okay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
