Of course, as I recall, there were many a CB posters that hated the trade at the time. I'd say it was the majority opinion actually.
I don't remember hating it when it happened but I do remember hating it when they proposed trying IT after the season he had. Once the trade was made I was for it. It was a shocking trade.
Yeah I think that was more for me, it was shocking. At the time it felt like we gave up a lot, IT, Crowder, draft pick, Zizic. little did we all know that DA and ownership were blowing up the team that summer and keeping the guys they knew would contribute - Al, Smart, Brown, Rozier.
