    I hope that guy doesn't work for that paper, because that is one of the worst written "articles" I have ever read...

    Wow...

    That's just how them talk down thar.

    If you read it outloud with a Carolina accent it rolls right off the tongue.

    It sounds like a MARIS post, but more understandable.

    With a day to reflect on this trade, it looks even better to me this morning. We gave them the New Orleans pick this year, which means we still have our own. And the other first-round pick isn't until two seasons from now--and it's top-12 protected.

    The only player of any significance that we gave up is Pryzbilla--and it remains to be seen if he will ever regain his old form.

    With Aldridge and Camby able to play center, and perhaps Oden coming back next year, we should be fine at the center position.

    This is a brilliant trade, in my opinion, right up there with the best of Whitsitt and Pritchard.

    I agree, this is a tremendous trade. We just need Greg healthy and we're instant contenders.

    Or, pretend you're in Lapine and it will all make sense.
