1/4 of a season covers all history and future!! Too fucking early to ask for a pat on the back, especially when you're thinking goes against most conventional wisdom.
It's true. A decade of a top-line PG for G-Dub, a free agent at year's end? A SF - one of the easiest positions to fill? Yes, thank you Brooklyn for the gift! This should go down as one of Portland's best deals ever.
Beal will be really good. You can see he has games where it's like "man, that kid is gonna be a good one" Soup Juggler is from Syracuse, so no Robinson might be pretty solid at some point, but the verdict is still out
To be fair, it might be one of those trades that work out well for both teams. Lillard alongside DWill doesn't accomplish much, other guys available may or may not have helped, and keeping Gerald around helped to keep DWill in the first place. Sort of the anti-Dwight trade that worked out poorly for all four teams.
Seriously, most of the guys in this draft were really young.. Beal is 19 A.Davis is 19 MKG is 19 Drummond is 19 Ross, Rivers & Lamb are 20 Ross & Waiters are 21 Lillard is 22
Dude, have you watched Wallace much this year? He's had some moments, but his star is fading quickly. It's all downhill at this point. I can't believe he got the money he did. Don't get me wrong, he's still contributing, so the Nets did get something out of the deal. But if they had really wanted him, they could have signed him as a free agent over the summer (and kept the draft pick, or used it in another deal). Nobody else would have given G-Dub that kind of money. Adding him midseason last year did very little for the Nets, except cost them a lotto pick.
Coulda/woulda/shoulda. All we know is that everything involving Dwight was a clusterfuck. If they waited until the offseason to sign him, DWill may well have given up on the franchise during the second half of the season. The general consensus seems to be that GW's value to the Nets was much more than his on-court production.
