Pacers/Warriors Deal...Who wins??

[brajense]

Pacers/Warriors deal is a pretty big deal, especially considering there were no rumors about it previously.


Pacers get Troy Murphy, Mike Dunleavy, Ike Diogu, and Keith McLeod


Warriors get Stephan Jackson, Al Harrington, Sarunas Jasikevicius, and Josh Powell


So who got the better half of this deal?

I think the trade is pretty even, most of the players in the deal just needed a new home. I think it will depend on how murphy, dunleavy, sjax, and harrington come out and play with their new teams. I think Pacers may end up with the better out of this deal in the end.

Warriors get the better end but if Murphy and Dunleavy play to their potentials, it could be different.

If Diogu becomes good for the Pacers...it'll be good for the Pacers. People don't know much about Diogu except for people here...so Pacer fans should at least be excited about him.

However, I said this in another league - Warriors get rid of some massive contracts in Dunleavy and Murphy...They now can have some good cap flexibility to re-sign two studs in Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins in the future.

I like that we got Diogu. I mean, it gives us a nice future with him, Granger, and Shawne Williams. But, we had to take on some shitty contracts, which I don't like. Not to mention that our backcourt is incredibly shallow now.

I like Diogu's game a lot, but the Warriors also unload some shitty salaries. I like it a bit more for GS, but it's not terrible for Indy.

Basically a "need" trade for both teams....a trade made because those players needed to be moved as they weren't working out with their teams that well.

I love Ike... but the pacers got Killed.

GSW actuly looks nice now. Diddy -Ellis -Rich - Al - biadrens
