    I actually think this makes me feel like Aldridge is staying.

    So in the end Nic did get us a lottery pick plus Gerald Henderson.

    Wow didn't expect this so soon! I believe the players, Lamarcus and Wes in particular had given up on Nic, especially when I see that Lamarcus knew about the trade and it's independent of free agency.

    Hornet fans are pissed.

    Noah was their best prospect. He's the same age as Towns/Okafor/Russell/etc. -- he was young for his class.

    If Henderson is suddenly a starter for us then we're as sad and boring as the fucking Charlotte Hornets. He's the very picture of slightly below average NBA player. of course, that makes him way better than the last player Olshey traded for.

    Why does him getting traded make people eat crow? Him being traded doesn't make one camp right and the other wrong.

    I would just feel better if Olshey would consult with the forum before he made any moves, deals, or draft picks.

    We are all experts and he never takes advantage of our vast knowledge.

    It's been pretty obvious for a while that we were the mistress to the French national team.

    You keep talking about age and measurements. If only you could talk about actual ability.

    I like this trade.

    Maybe it is because I am a Hoosier, but loved Noah's potential at IU. It will take some time but great upside.

    Henderson is a gamer.

    Rasta is pissed because we only have one international player still on the team, and that could end very soon.

    I see that Vonleh is a quick leaper. That was much needed in the front court.

    TRob was supposed to be NBA ready. Vonleh is a project player. They are very different.

    Is it possible that the LACK of draft pick being involved is due to not wanting the cap hold (sucking up the additional 3+ mill in cap space) so we can throw big money at a 6+ year VET FA?
