I dont get the Bulls anymore.

[GetLucky]

They want a team with Rajon Rondo as their best 3pt-shooting guard.

Huh? lol

Is there any possible way to get even less spacing in that lineup? I guess so.

In the full article it says the Bucks will immediately look to get a contract extension done for Snell.

Makes a ton of sense for Milwaukee, especially needing shooting and with Middleton out.

I'm still wondering how it makes sense for Chicago, though. Are they planning on MCW being their point guard next year on after this whole Rondo saga?

Hard to believe that MCW went from being ROY to being traded for Tony Snell

[bballdog384]

the bulls master plan was to get wade and rondo to mentor MCW as their future point guard?

Classic example of inflated stats on a bad team - ala Tyreke Evans, whose best numbers were from his rookie year on the Kings.  Not that either of them are bad players, but context matters when evaluating traditional stats.  Never personally been impressed with MCW.

Is the Bulls planning to build another stadiums with the bricks that will be made by the team? This team have no spacing. LOL

and yet hinkie got flack for trading him.  They still have the top 3 protected laker pick. Could end up much better than MCW.

Sorry, but I'm not sure where you're getting the Hinkie flak from... I don't recall him getting that, other than a poster here and there. In fact, most people where in agreement that MCW sucked. I think you're recalling things a bit skewed since I do recall you were fairly high, or at least higher than most around here, on MCW and thought he might be getting more than a protected 1st rounder out of him.

So... not really.

[Snakehead]

MCW is easily the least liked and hyped ROY I ever remember.  There was no flak.

[Moranis]

Hinkie definitely got flak on this board for trading MCW for a future pick.  It isn't that hard to find one of the 50 Sixers threads on here to confirm that.

Every time I mentioned that Hinkie made a great trade getting the Lakers pick for MCW, I got flak.  Pre-trade it was MCW was overrated and only won ROY because it was a weak draft.  Post-trade it was like he was some crown jewel of the Sixers rebuild.

Interesting tidbit.  I remembered there was an initial trade package which got worked up but I didn't know the details.  Per Mark Stein, initially the Sixers were going to get Isaiah Thomas.  I guess Ainge must have stepped in so the trade got reworked.  Worked out well for us and the Sixers were better off getting the Lakers pick for their rebuild.
