I think Parker and Boozer are both better players than Randolph and Gay but I know others would disagree.
I'm not a Rudy Gay fan.
I agree. I think way, way better players than Gay and Randolph and Philly lost Bargs, though I hate his game, is still an asset.
If you have Randolph though Bargs really has to go.
I wonder if he could kept him and used him in a separate trade.
This one came together as two separate trades, really.
The first was Randolph for Boozer.
The second was Gay + 4th for Parker + Bargnani + 6th
Bargnani was a key piece to that, since I think Gay has more value than Parker. We'd discussed scrapping my 4th rounder, and including another #6 from Philly, but in the end Bargs was the guy on the move.
