Well I was right about Rose being traded for before or at the draft, but for Lopez and Grant, I wish I wasn't. That's a lot to give up for Rose, really got to hope he returns even close to form now.

Edit: I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking Horford now, he's hold, but he's nice as fukk and added 3 point range last year. Having a PF and C with legit 3 point range and can play both ends would be nasty.

1. Galloway>>>>grant

2. Lopez can be replaced right now if we sign biyombo

3. Rose is a FA next year and will free up 21 million

I was voted the 2nd best poster in the coli for 2015 and according to sources I'm in the lead for best poster of 2016 and you guys are giving me stipulations? Y'all should be happy I'm even posting here. :martin:
The Coli is obviously hurting for credible posters if you're in contention for best poster of any year

I had a lot of faith in Grant. Galloway is better now but I felt like Grant's ceiling was a solid starter and he'd get there sooner than later, I guess we'll see on that eventually. I'd love Biyombo on the team though, I wanted Phil to sign Biyombo last off season( I think most of us did last year actually) if Phil could get him I wouldn't be mad at this trade then. Rose contract being so short is definitely a plus too, makes this a low risk trade, I just feel like Chicago didn't have much leverage when it came to trading Rose, and Phil didn't have to give up both Lopez and Grant, maybe just one or the other.

Really the quality of this trade comes down to what Phil does the rest of this off season since it closes one hole, but opens up another at C or SF depending of if Melo will play the 4 or not, and with 30+ mil is cap space still, there is definitely room for some quality moves to be made.

People Really Think Lopez And Grant Were Too Much? :mjlol:

We're A Garbage Team W No Assets Remember? Y'all Trash, No Ones Gonna Deal With Y'all, Y'all Got Nothing To Offer

We Suckered Them Bulls, Lopez Is A Solid Guy, Ok So? Grant? I Never Had The Faith In Him Y'all Do Honestly, And I Was At That Boston Game.

Now He'll Be On A Depleted Team With A shytty Coach, If There Was Any Upside For Him Chicago Will Probably Kill All That Now

I'd be willing to bet that they had to give up both because they also wanted to get rid of Calderon.
