Sonics you have no room to talk, I do still remember the Eddie Jones trade. Ketner never starts for me, can score and has shown it, and can play defense and shows it by blocked shots when he did get to play. Just because he is fake, doesnt mean sqaut. The 1999 draft was my first, and I did not balance the positions. So to make it balanced they added players like Cronin and Ketner. Just because they are fake, doesnt mean they arent good, because if you have ever looked at the computer generated guys they make some good players.

Sonics you have no room to talk, I do still remember the Eddie Jones trade. At least he's learned from that. This deal isn't any better, though. Seattle was given a raw prospect and a potentially decent pick for Jones. You gave a decent expiring, a prospect who has no actual skill (Argue that all you want. His numbers and percentages are shit, and I'd be surprised if any of his defensive ratings are above 50 besides stealing.), and a 4-year veteran who's yet to prove anything. Seatte traded Jones for role players. Philly traded Alonzo Mourning for role players. Jones was a declining SG at the time, although younger. Zo's on a terrible contract, yes, but for the next 3-4 years, he'll be fine, and in the present, he's still a top 5-10 player in the league.

Yes, but I was just pointing out, and defending the Sixers (who is running his team how he wants) that Sonics has no room to speak about "bad" deals.

I do want to add the two points made by the Sixers are very valid. I wouldn't deal Zo to a divisional rival... oh, wait! Nevermind.
I do think the Sixers got what he wanted and was wise to move Zo out West. Run your team the way you like. Can't complain about a veteran GM doing exactly what he wanted to do.

KEtner is good. he averaged 15 and 9 and 1.6 blks for me over a 29 game stretch once i inserted him in the starting lineup. i was little more than a .500 team before i put him in the starting lineup and after that i started winning at almost a .700 clip.

So it would be absolutely O.K. with everyone in the league If I decided I wanted to rebuild and sent:
Curry Dalembert Odom Bibby Peterson
to the Grizz for:
Mcdyess Kenny Anderson Bo Outlaw

if you want to kill your team for the next 5 season, go ahead. I'm sure you'll have great fun batteling for the #1 pick with the Pistons down there ... (but honestly, i'd prefer if these guys are shipped to the Carolinas. Our fan base deserves to see a CF team at least once in the history of the league ...)

Heat, Id recommend trading off just half of your players as well as all of your picks for bruno sundov and battle the Hornets for the top team in the league not to make the playoffs each year and of course not have their pick. Sorry couldn't resist.

Hell no that isn't OK Heat. No way is that fair to the league. It would be fair though if you sent those guys to NYC for Tim Hardaway and my 1st this year.
Seriously.
No, I'm not joking.

Yes, but I was just pointing out, and defending the Sixers (who is running his team how he wants) that Sonics has no room to speak about "bad" deals. Yes, he does. We've all made poor decisions and have likely been ripped off at some point. I know I have. That doesn't invalidate his opinion or mine. Philly can run his team as he likes. I'm just stating my opinion. I'm not calling for an overrule or anything.

I just dont agree with someone preaching to someone else about a bad trade, especially when they have made a worse trade.
and Heat why is this trade such a big deal? Why are you acting like you got robbed?
