Troy Murphy, that guys stock has fallen dramatically in my eyes.

Pretty crazy trade... I thought that the chemistry was doing well in GS

Wow. Pretty crazy trade.

Certainly a lot of names. I'm not sure if this makes either team any better...just different.

Major shake-ups for both teams. I think the Warriors got the best out of it, by far. The Pacers didn't really do much to improve. I guess we'll get our first look tomorrow night when they come to town.

wow i like this trade for the Pacers...although Murphy stock has fallen a lil bit if given the proper minutes that guy is a walking double-double and Dunleavy can light it up when he is on....

I like it...we finally have another good big man to go along with Biedrins, as that's a huge upgrade over Diogu/ Murphy/ Foyle...THANK GOD deadweight Dunleavy and his salary is gone...I liked Murphy but he was getting paid WAY too much, and Jackson will be good to fill in until JRich and Pietrus come back...Diogu is too injury prone and is never going to be a starter anyways, and Jasikevicius provides a needed backup point guard so Monta Ellis won't have to play the position when BD's out of the game anymore...Murphy and Dunleavy were far and away the biggest headaches on defense, so our defense will much better with those two gone...another good thing is this will help us be able to re-sign both Ellis and Pietrus after this season

McLeod and Powell are both end of the bench low salary guys so they basically don't mean anything in this trade

Only problem is, the backcourt would be too crowded once pietrus and JRich come back...Jackson would probably be the third shooting guard/ small forward off the bench, after Mickael Pietrus and Matt Barnes

Now that we found someone to take DUnleavy and Murphy's salaries off our hands (and get something good in return too), we only need a taker for Adonal Foyle

Basically the breakdown:

MurphyHarrington: Huge upgrade

DunleavyJackson: Huge upgrade

DioguJasikevicius: Slight Downgrade, but had to be made for cap reasons

McLeodPowell: Push

Never a fan of harrington.. a tweener.

 

Jackson is just an idiot

Find a way to bring him home Pop.
