    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.

    I officially hate Olshey.

    I'm going to assume they're including their pick, because if not, that is one of the shittiest trades ever.

    And it's still pretty shitty.

    I have to think this is not a good sign that LA comes back. This seems like a "blow it up" trade.

    Nice!

    Vonleh really came on strong towards the end of the season.

    Didn't Olshey really like Vonleh last year? I'm sure Fez or someone would know/remember...

    (Assuming this is true)
    Batum had two problems for Olshey:
    1. He played some defense
    2. He was not acquired by Olshey (and had an agent who wasn't one of NO's buddies)

    Vonleh was the #9 pick in last years draft. 37" verticval and 7'4" wingspan.

    Big potential as a two-way PF.

    GIANT hands.

    I like Vonleh's potential as a defensive big. Also a big Gerald Henderson fan.

    I dont think thats great value for Batum. If we get their pick as well I like it otherwise it sounds like we cleared space to go after Jordan
