good god, does MKGOV hypnotize people or soemthing? the rich get richer (for the 2nd time this offseason)... ugh.
nice work by both GMs though...
You really think this is that lopsided? IMO - I got the best player in the deal, he got the 2nd best but nobody knows if he will even be back to the NBA - he probably will, but not until 2012-13. Gordon and Biedrins have both greatly underachieved over the last 2-3 seasons and I see no reason why Samuels and/or White couldn't have a better season than either of them.
What is your analysis GC? I'd really like to hear...
The deal may seem lopsided b/c of the name recognition on one side. However, Bacon got the best player in the deal. And the other two aren't bad either.
I had Stuckey for a while last season. I thought he would blow up and average in the high 30s, but Detroit was a mess. Their coach was terrible and they couldn't get out of their own way.
He is by far the best player in the deal. If Detroit straitens themselves out or he ends up on another team, he will be a Monster. Plus he is very young still.
DJ White may end up starting for the Cats. He's not super talented, but he can put up numbers. He is more of a Scola type.
Sam is a prospect, but put up some real nice lines last season for the Cavs before he got hurt. The Cavs r rebuilding and he will get his shot this year.
I got guys who are come off multiple bad seasons and injuries. The other is in China until late March or early April. I don't mind taking the risk here, but Bacon should show his returns much sooner than me.
