There is a rumour going around that Babcock held his chips too tight, starting when he agreed to try to build around Carter in spite of the fact he was unhappy, evidenced in his reluctance to trade Donyell Marshall, and further supported by his nonstop holding pattern with the Williams's. I guess the theory was that he was stubborn to begin with and shellshocked after the outcry following the Carter deal. He waited as long as he could to trade Alston, seemingly, and though that was a good trade I wonder if he would've waited forever for the right deal to present itself if he wasn't under pressure to continuously retool the team.

I think maybe looking too hard at the summer of 07 might've caused him to lose perspective on the current, in the eyes of MLSE.

Sure, Bonner was a 2nd rnder but more than half of the 2nd rounders don't even make the 12th man nowadays.

Can somebody correct me on this? I really don't see why this is a good news. And don't use Arenas or Redd as examples, I don't see that hapening. I haven't seen slokar yet, so that don't mean much either.

It's a second rounders, 2nds are crap shoot, and it really depends how the Hornets play, as I said earlier the trade was made cuz Byron Scott likes Aaron Williams from their time in New Jersey

Miami's pick is almost worthless. It will be in the 56-60 range. Slokar is far from an NBA player, though he might become one some day. If you can get anything of value with a pick like that you are a genius.

Who knows where New Orleans' pick will be in 09?

Overall I'm just happy we cleared some deadwood and got something--anything for him.

Aaron Williams was a real pro. There was a lot of talk about him being a good role model for our young bigs, but it's good to see us getting something in return for him considering how little playing time he was getting.
Hope to see him perform well for the Hornets this season.

this seems like a steal for the raps picks to build to the future for dead weight

Yeah I mean I know the second rounders will probably be crap by the time they get them, but Aaron Williams is like getting another PJ Brown. I would have rathered Scott find a young guy somewhere or even scour the NBDL.

Oh well Im not complaining it makes us slightly better in the short term....

i like this deal, it is getting rid of some cap room and makes some room on the roster, Embrey surprised me I thought he would just be sitting back and waiting
