One thing I will say is that Houston made out like BANDITS! Look at everything they got for T-Mac! Ridiculous!

Even if we did sign lebron, without the other two coming then it makes no sense to have the extra cap room for this offseason- we may as well just of waited the extra year until Curry and Jeffries came off the books and we'd be set to sign another star and have all our picks. This is an Isiah style trade whereby we gamble everything for a payoff which from our recent history, we never seem to get lucky enough to get. We have slim to zero chance of signing 2 stars this off season! We gave up essentially 3 picks for a pocketful of dreams! Good Grief!

yeah, it's ridiculous that they got the picks AND Kevin Martin. insane.

Great plan, just terribly executed.

Really is a bit too much to try and nitpick when a guy comes into a situation where EVERYONE knows he's trying to pawn off crap to get cap space and he still gets it done. In the end we really haven't lost out on much for what we can get in return.

You think this situation was easy or something? We had practically nothing to trade and no strength of bargaining position. Still at the end of the day, he got us to where we needed to be. 2 MAX FA cap space is nothing to sneeze at.

I want to see what the pick is that he got for Nate. I was very disappointed that Hill and a pick were moved but Walsh's plan wasn't a secret so was not in a good bargaining position.

You just jinxed it.

Bosh for Jordan Hill, Our picks, and filler.

it's all getting called back when they realize donnie made the deal while sleeptalking!

The guy is a genius (literally, MIT Sloan business school grad).

Lebron Max
Lee 10 mil
Tmac 6 mil

Not that I wouldnt take that roster, but I can't see how TMAc and Lebron coexist, unless TMac finally starts being the "next Scottie Pippen"
