[Celtic Fan Forever]

Now that the storm has passed and my connection is back (I hope)

Lucky man.  The storm has just arrived on Long Island, and boy is it pounding.  Forget "raining cats and dogs."  I believe most of the Bronx Zoo is currently descending...

Same here. It's really starting to act up on the island.

Can someone update this for me.  I am in the middle of cooking dinner. 

[Gainesville Celtic]

Bobcats send:
Yao Ming and Ben Gordon

Pistons send:
Jason Richardson, Chris Kaman, Michael Pietrus

I think this qualifies as the biggest trade in terms of combined talent thus far no? 

[KCattheStripe]

It's got my vote

it is between this and the Duncan/Durrant move.

I'm not sure which side got the better deal. I guess that means it's a good one.

I hear ya.  Finally, the rain is starting to ease up where I am, but I'm guessing road flooding is not going to be fun when I'm headed out later in the evening.  Boogah boogah.

Duncan & Durant is much bigger in my opinion.  That trade included the best and arguably 2nd best, potential and Yao's injuries considered, franchise guys between the two moves.

I like that deal for Detroit. gives them a frontcourt of Yao/Okafor/Turkoglu as a foundation to build with plus another shooter in Gordon to spread the floor for Yao and Okafor down low. Just have to hope the the JT/Lowry PG tandem can get the job done.

Gotta wait until 7:00pm, I think.

If everyone has picked, go ahead.

Darn Commissioner, changing the rules in the middle of the game.

I think he's been consistent in that you only have to wait until 7pm if there is still someone that was skipped over.  If not, it's been a green light.
