And I'm reading on the Orlando message board now that there are some people there that are actually defending this trade, and calling other fans ignorant because they can't understand how good this trade is. Mind boggling.
They pretty much didn't get anything...they could have done that anytime, what is it here that some people might like? They didn't get an all-star caliber player in return, those picks are risky at best, and they still have Hedo's, Big Baby's and Quentin's big contracts on their hands. If they wanted to tank so badly, and gut their roster, why did they re-sign Jameer? So many weird things they did that you have to scratch your had over it. And why would they pass on a second best center in the league? He's young, and they would get someone to at least build around with other pieces.
This way it looks like that Iguodala brought a lot more in return for the Sixers than Dwight did for the Magic.
And for those people saying that you can't get better than this, and that this trade is somehow good, that people are just too blind to see it...just look at the trade Denver did when they traded Melo. They didn't fall off the map completely, they got some new, young pieces, and stayed competitive. Heck, they played Lakers to the 7th game this last season.
Hennigan did a really bad job, in my opinion...really bad job.
