While I don't like O Neal all that much or think he's going to be all that good, I don't think it's all that bad of a trade from Toronto's POV regardless. Ford is good, but they're dealing from a position of strength, they still have Calderon. And the 17th pick is a total crapshoot. I don't really think the draft is going to be all that deep so we'll see what they come up with. I think it's worth it for Toronto to take the risk and see if he can return to form.

Hmmm...Yi and Bobby Simmons to the Nets for Richard Jefferson

I know why the Nets are doing it, curious as to why the Bucks would give up on Yi...I actually thought he showed some promise last year. I don't see how Jefferson is really going to help them, especially if they get rid of Redd

This trade would have been much better for Toronto. Gerald Wallace is a much better player than Jermaine Oneal is, with a contract.

Yeah, he's a pretty terrible GM. Seems like most of the superstars turned GMs are. Mchale, Bird, Isiah, Michael.

I was up in the Dells last week and got my fill of Bucks coverage. Apparently, the big part of the deal was getting out from under Simmons contract, but there was still hard feelings towards Yi for the charade his handlers put on before the draft, not coming out to Milwaukee and then threatening a hold out.
