New York traded Malik Rose for Chris Wilcox.

New York traded Malik Rose for Chris Wilcox.

Why does OKC do that? Wilcox and Rose are both expiring and Wilcox >>>>> Rose.

 

[Shzm13]

THATS all it took to get Wilcox??

God damnit! We couldve traded Piatkowski or Giericek for him last year

 

[CharlieTheBull]

Michael Ruffin for Ike Idogu.

For all intents and purposes I thought Rose retired a few years back.

I don't know why the Thunder do it unless it saves money or a pick is coming back.

dunno. Wilcox probably wanna get out of boring Oklahoma. He also complained about his minutes i think.

In general, not too exciting this year's deadline.

No more stupid larry hughes in Chicago! Now get rid of Noah.

I would have traded Robin Lopez for Noah.

 

[Folster]

Houston got Kyle Lowry and Brian Cook and all they had to give up is Rafer Alston. Not bad. It appears Orlando is giving up the first rounder to Memphis as well. Too bad we couldn't land Lowry.

 

[PHX04]

Skip to my lu had a decent game last night...

 

[jagu]

I would have traded Robin Lopez for Noah.

I would have traded Robin for Noah's sneakers.

 

[mjb21aztd]

Nice glad we didn't trade Amare for some bust player picks, now lets hope Amare continues his strong play like he did vs the clippers against quality teams...

 

[Covert Rain]

I would have traded Robin Lopez for Noah.

I would have traded Sideshow Bob with well.....the real sideshow Bob. At least we would get some entertainment out of the deal.

 

[AceP]

So the deadline has officially passed?

 

[dodie53]

nice post Folster.

btw,
what's the update on this trade?

Orlando acquires Rafer Alston from Houston. Houston receives Kyle Lowry from Memphis and Brian Cook Orlando. Memphis receives a first round pick. Other minimum players are involved (will update later).

 

[Mulli]

I think so

Rose makes more and NY is over the lux tax, so they gave OKC their tax savings as well(2M). Donnie Walsh is a pretty good GM, hope kerr was paying attention. Getting chris wilcox for a guy whos career is over plus 2M sure beats drafting robin lopez doesnt it? Its also a reason the suns should hang onto contracts that will be expiring next year.

NY is positioning themselves smartly for 2010 while staying as competitive as they can. Wilcox will produce big numbers in DA's system. Larry Hughes might be acceptable again there too. Not bad.

Bulls have done well too.

Houston just stole Lowry. Why couldn't we get him for a protected pick that's likely to be better than Magic's or Rox's!

 

[AceP]

Magic got the PG they desperately needed after Nelson's injury!!! And a very good one! That is a big steal for them! I can't believe Houston did such a big favor for them. There must be some under table benefit ...

Lowry is a nice young PG but he is far from a starting job in a contender. He can't shoot straight, no no no, he just can't shoot at all, nor creative enough to make any kind of impact in offense.

I dont know how Houston is going to replace Alston's 37% FG, 5 assists and 12.8 PER....

Lowry is better than him and 10 years younger.

The magic certainly have no "desperate need" for a shot chucking Alston. You're way off the mark here.

Magic should have bypassed houston and dealt directly with Memphis.

Stats can be very deceiving. And teams have different needs.

Alston is a proven veteran, he is the starting PG for a few full seasons in a western conference power house. He defends well, executes under pressure, does his job alongside superstars. Orlando would only need him to do backup job after Nelson returns.

No matter how much you like Lowry, no matter what potential he got, it is hard to believe he could make an immediate impact in Houston.

nice post Folster.

It's updated. The other players Memphis received were Adonal Foyle, and Mike Wilks from Orlando.

 

[dodie53]

Boston traded G Sam Cassell to Sacramento for a conditional 2015 second-round draft pick.
