The point is that the OWNERS will. Shaq wants an extension for four or five years whether they win or nor. A $100+ million contract is a huge risk, particularly for a 7 footer.
Besides, as you have wisely noted, not only did Thorn get Carter for trinkets, baubles and two mid round draft choices, he got the Raptors to take the Nets worst contract, Mourning's.
It can argued that Riley or Thorn made the best trade of the year, but there is no doubt that Babcock made the worst trade of the year.
What was the better trade this year?
