re: Which Ryno trade do you like the best?

It's not that the deal is unreasonable for a starting 5, it's that it's unreasonable for a guy that only plays 17 MPG. Why you commit that many years to not one guy like that at that position, but 2 5s like that, it is just sort of silly, regardless of $$. It's like Philly continuing to draft best big because VALUE.

It isn't unreasonable if you look at things from a big picture standpoint.

Simply thinking, do you view AA or Asik being part of our team in the long run? I don't view AA at least, I can see how Asik can be if he continues to play like this month's Asik for 25MPG.

That 5mil/yr for AA is purely a contract number to even things out in future trade as the cap hikes you need numbers to even out. Those league 2-3mil guys aren't going to cut it. 5mil is the new trading chip
