We can still get Acker, right? Except, I'm sure that there is not enough time for Flip to fit him in.
In some respects the trade you didn't make is your best deal... It's somewhat understandable why Joe didn't make a move (not that we need a true PG or anything)... but some of these lotto bound teams need to make a public apology for not trying to improve... even if it's swaping two scrubs. ESPN was saying that the Lakers & Nets had struck a deal for Kidd last night and Thorn changed his mind this morning. IMO Joe should be able to get a better deal on draft day for one of the picks. After watching Cwebb get hurt last night I had flashes of Dale Davis logging major minutes with no backup (assuming Nazr trade)... that's not a comforting thought with the real possibility of having Zo & Shaq in the first round. Did this Wade injury effect the order of our draft position? We'll see if the Heat fall below the Magic.
Darko to Toronto? Do they speak french in Serbia? Well, at least he should be used to living in igloos. No way they trade the Serbian Gangsta to an Eastern team. They want him far far far away where he can't hurt them.
I am sure he tried, at least he did not make any Jaric type deals. He should explain why he gave a 30mil contract to Mohammed in the 1st place, not like there was any surprise on how he plays. Advatanges of no-deals. We are more likely to get a combo guard in the draft than a PF. So that does leave a spot open instead of going for Mike James or someone else. Depth. At least Mohammed is better than nothing if something happends.
