it's a little sad that we have to get excited over minor deals of this kind... we haven't improved our team whatsoever in any impactful way, but at least we're not making dumb trades to add on longterm salary just to make a meaningless push for the playoffs like i had feared we might a few weeks ago, so that's a plus i guess.
No need to be so pessimistic. The Wilcox trade is a low risk, high reward type deal. He's an athletic big, still in his prime who is going to be playing in a WIDE open offense. Give it a shot, kid.
i ain't being pessimistic broham... i like the trades, but i was sorta hoping for some more significant moves to add picks or something this deadline... it's still not too late but it's looking like Lee & Nate aren't going anywhere, so unless Donnie's got a plan to dump Fishlips our 2010 plan could be in jeopardy depending on what happens w/those 2 guys' extensions after this season ends... i've always liked Hughes & Wilcox btw... Wilcox was the guy i wanted when he came out in the draft when we ended up trading Camby & Nene for Antonio McKnee, & i even traded for Hughes on my 2K9 Knicks team... Wilcox hasn't really lived up to his potential but i still think he's serviceable, absolutely more of a fit for our needs than Malik was, that's for damn sure.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
