ROY Race So Far.......

[handiman]

It's true. A decade of a top-line PG for G-Dub, a free agent at year's end? A SF - one of the easiest positions to fill? Yes, thank you Brooklyn for the gift! This should go down as one of Portland's best deals ever.

To be fair, it might be one of those trades that work out well for both teams. Lillard alongside DWill doesn't accomplish much, other guys available may or may not have helped, and keeping Gerald around helped to keep DWill in the first place. Sort of the anti-Dwight trade that worked out poorly for all four teams.

Seriously, most of the guys in this draft were really young..

Beal is 19
A.Davis is 19
MKG is 19
Drummond is 19
Ross, Rivers & Lamb are 20
Ross & Waiters are 21
Lillard is 22

Except they could have likely sent the pick to Orlando for Dwight.

Dude, have you watched Wallace much this year? He's had some moments, but his star is fading quickly. It's all downhill at this point. I can't believe he got the money he did. Don't get me wrong, he's still contributing, so the Nets did get something out of the deal. But if they had really wanted him, they could have signed him as a free agent over the summer (and kept the draft pick, or used it in another deal). Nobody else would have given G-Dub that kind of money. Adding him midseason last year did very little for the Nets, except cost them a lotto pick.

Looks like Kyle Singler, #33 pick, is this year's sleeper.

Just wanted to point out that he wasn't drafted this year, and played in Europe last year.

Martell Webster was young once

Coulda/woulda/shoulda. All we know is that everything involving Dwight was a clusterfuck.

If they waited until the offseason to sign him, DWill may well have given up on the franchise during the second half of the season. The general consensus seems to be that GW's value to the Nets was much more than his on-court production.
