<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Everybody wants to analyze trades immediately. Who got the best of whom? Who got taken? Who got greased and who got fleeced? So here we are on the day the Sacramento Kings are in town to play the Magic -- the perfect time to break down and figure out the Doug Christie-for-Cuttino Mobley deal. Personally, I think it's still too early to conclusively say who made out the best, but I can definitely tell you who got the worst of it: Doug Christie. Just six weeks ago, he was a valued starter. He played on a perennially contending team that admired him, in front of capacity crowds that adored him. Now, he sits on the bench, barely playing on a perennially mediocre team that is unsure of him, in front of a barely audible audience that is uninspired by him. Steve Francis only lost his best friend when Mobley was traded to Sacramento. Doug Christie lost his entire identity. "It was a very tough and emotional time when the trade was made," Christie admits.</div> Source
