Seriously?

I think that's what you wanted in your mind in order to be argumentative.

No one said he was a "legit 5" or that it was even a huge move. Withey was an unexpected throw in and plays a position we now have a need at. I don't think there is anything more to it then that.


I guess I imagined the first 2 pages of this thread.

They actually traded the proven commodity for Tyreke Evans and happened to get Withey in the deal.


No shite.

You think Withey will be better than Lopez for 2013/2014. I disagree.

I am glad they got Tyreke and I would do the sign/trade every time. Doesn't mean they didn't give up a useful player for an unknown commodity in the deal for Evans.

What? They had to give up Lopez to make the deal for Evans work. He wasn't thrown in to get an unknown commodity. The unknown commodity was the piece thrown in to add value to the trade.

I think you're missing the point of everyone's enthusiasm

We knew we'd have to dump Lopez, and while Whithey may not be better, the trade off of salaries and fact that JW can help us in the paint is a pretty big positive when most people thought we'd get nothing back.
