First trade to announce:
Utah Flash sends:
Brook Lopez, Goran Dragic, Reggie Williams, Jerryd Bayless, and #37 pick
Toine's Boys send:
Bismack Biyombo, Donatas Motiejunas, Tobias Harris, Jon Leuer, #3 pick, and #31 pick
any thoughts on the deal? I always love to hear people's opinions, good an bad, especially TWW's.
There is a follow up deal to announce that compliments it though.
I am no fan of Brrok Lopez and even less so considering he can't stay healthy. Dragic is the best player going back to Toine's Boys but Montiejunas was spectacular in summer league and will get tons of PT in Houston and the #3 pick could be a long time All-Star.
Have to give this one to Utah due to the long term potential of Biyombo, Montie and the #3 pick. In a couple years this could look like a Parish/McHale-like deal for Utah.
I definitely see this side of it too, and I'm surprised no one brought up Tobias Harris' potential yet, but I'm a big fan of Lopez (as a fantasy player), I think he will do well with the current Nets lineup and Dragic is the best player in the deal. I'm taking a big risk, as Biyombo, Montiejunas, Harris, and the #3 all can become all-stars, but the chance of that happening is low imo. In the complementary trade (yet to be announced) I sort of make up for losing the #3 pick.
