I think the winner in the trade was Orlando. How Doug Collins didnt see what he had in Nic Vucevic is beyond me. Unless Bynum somehow grows new knees, this trade is going to set back the 76ers for a long time.

The biggest winner was Brooklyn!

Hopefully, and ultimately, the biggest winners will be those who realize Jim Buss is as bad at running a basketball team as he was at training horses.

The sooner Jim Buss is gone, the better.

They werent going to resign Iguodala for what he wants and the other guys they traded arent difference makers. The best thing at this point is Bynum doesn't play so they dont feel obligated to sign him to a big, long term killer of a contract after the season. I wouldnt be shocked if they move Richardson at the deadline if they can. What they are going to have is a lot of cap space and potentially a top 10 pick after this season which isnt a bad thing.

for real chuck? Vucevic is having an insanely good year. and he's only 21 or 22 years old and in his second year. he's averaging 11 or 12 rebounds and the same in points. One game he put up 20 points and 29 rebounds. the sixers will regret trading him for the next 12 years.

to say he's not a difference maker is way off. He could very easily be an all star center.

JJ Hickson is averaging 11 rebounds and 12 points a game and portland picked him up off of the waiver wire. Vucevic is a nice pickup for orlando but he isnt a difference maker by any means
