I don't know how I feel about this. We got some help down low with Smith, but I was looking forward to seeing Brackins. Willie Green's game seems similar to Thorntons.

I'll trust the management and be happy with this one though.

Don't mind getting rid of Songalia, but I liked Brackins...

i was excited about brackins, and interested to see how he'd fare against legit competition during the season. green is a nice acquisition though, he's like DTDB except actually kind of good.

smith was a nice prospect out of college, i know he had a knee injury a couple years back. i could see him and aaron gray protecting the paint

I'd feel a lot better about this if Smith weren't a 7-foot pansy. We need more rebounding and defense down low.

Any chances that this trade was made to work up a package for someone else?

Put me in the "WTF?" camp.

I can see trading for Green, as we need a backup point as well as some experience at SG.

Dumping off Brackins this early strikes me as strange. This also puts us heavy with defensive big-men rather than ones who can score from what I'm seeing. West can put up points, but Okafor is inconsistent at scoring and none of the other big men on the roster appear to be decent at it.
