    He's a poor rebounder for his size

    Idk. It was for basically nothing, but I'm not expecting a whole lot.

    Per 36 he is basically a Batum rebounder, so fine for a SF

    This is my take as well. We are in a position where we can take some chances on a bunch of young players and hope that 1 or 2 evolve into a very good player.

    Well, it remains to be seen how much hark he really has. Is it Moe, or is it less?

    Batum isn't a great rebounder either

    When Batum crashed the boards, he had many double digit rebound games.

    He could be a great rebounder, when he wanted to. Not that I want him back.

    The trade is good, but we're still about to invest minutes and a roster spot for a non legit 3.

    Who cares? Maybe he ends up a 4 in small ball? Maybe he ends up traded for a piece in a year or so. It's not about this year

    Yeah fits a team not on target for the playoffs perfectly. This team is very deep in talented players, they are raw, but have high ceilings. What we hope is 3 or 4 of these guys pan out.

    @JJRedick: @AlexKennedyNBA I'm a big fan of @moe_harkless. Still think he's got A LOT of room to grow.
