Despite the scumbaggery you tried to pull on me in our trade, both teams got what they needed here.

I dont like the deal for the raptors at all even though they might have needed a big man, i hate the brown contract. Of course ive always been partial to mookie myself and thought at least the rapts could have added a pick from houston.

i understand what your saying.. mookies contract was definalty worse than browns.. although i think mookie has more value, but again i say im partical to mookie always have been. besides i dont mind really if i dont think this is a great deal for you. I have your pick next year so i hope it doesnt work out for you:)

Sorry Raps but I see this as 3 scrubs for Mookie. I don't know why people suddenly thing Olden is good. He's horrible, I had him and noone would give me anything for him...lol. Now that he's 35 people consider him good.

Don't get to excited yet, I am under word that the Trade committee is looking over this deal. Personally I think this deal is terrible. It is Mookie for 3 scrubs, great Olden is 1 year and gone, Brown isn't half the player Mookie is and I don't even know who the heck this other guy is. Trading away an all star that is helping your team to a 7-3 start for 3 very less talented players doesn't seem like the most up and up type of deal. Maybe if a good 1st was included this wouldn't look so bad.

I agree a first would have made this deal look a whole lot better.. that said its hard to veto a deal like this when so many ones worse than this have gone down before this.. unless because Jscott is no longer running things the trade committee is actually gonna come back to life after years of doing nothing..

I'm gonna try to keep out of sticking into trades, especially Western Conference Teams, but yes the terrible one sided deals are done with, we want every team to be competitive (not that John didn't) and since I have lots of time to keep up with things, the bad deals won't slip thru the cracks.

well I already spoke my mind to John and Pete about this trade on aol. I personally don't think this trade is even close of being vetoed for a number of reasons. Hopefully John or Pete will tell the rest of the committee my thoughts otherwise I suppose I could post them on here.

So?! post away.. although i know you've pretty much told everyone who will listen your thoughts.. never hurts to let the others hear them too.. valid arguements no doubt

Of course ive always been partial to mookie myself and thought at least the rapts could have added a pick from houston. I couldn't agree more. This is exactly, word for word basically, what I told Pete earlier today when he told me of the trade..

well you mentioned telling pete a second ago here in this very thread.. obviously you talked to the raps about it cause well he messaged me much like you did about your thoughts.. so dont be afraid stand up for yourself for everyone to know where your coming from. Its hard for me to speak (1) cause i didnt like the deal as you know.. (2) cause its not my deal.. (3) I have interest in the rapts getting worse, i have their pick next year
