anybody doubting the Shannon Brown trade?

Not really, Shannon was not fitting into Brown's system as hoped and we all know about Morrison. Vlad fits well into the system but his late season slump has him down with fans but I think LB will give him another year considering he can play #3 or 4.

Sometimes an average player will click with the right team and look like star which is the case with Brown.

nope, getting Morrison off the books was worth it

Morrison actually makes 1.5 million less per year than Radmanovic and only had one year left on his deal whereas Radmanovic has two. The Lakers made the deal to dump Vlad's salary, Brown was just a bonus.

Brown would have been nice depth behind Raja. SB had a really bad game where he did some incredibly stupid things right before he got shipped off. That really bad game is probably what did him in.

Congrats to him for playing well in LA. People tend to forget that he was a 1st round pick. He has talent. He just hasn't been refined and he lacked an understanding of the game. He will mature into a solid player.

I love to see Shannon doing well in LA, but it kills me at the same time as I knew before we shipped him off that it was the wrong move...We talk about needing a great SG in the draft this year and yet we shipped off a guy who had tremendous potential in that position for a role player who really is at the peak of his ability as it stands now. I guess being buried behind Larry's guy (Raja) at that position didn't help things. Raja getting hurt exposed us pretty bad there and having Shannon would have been very nice. He really is blossoming into quite the lockdown defender.

I loved the way Shannon Brown played before he came to the Cats... loved watching him with the Cats and was sad to see him go. That dunk over the Birdman 2 nights ago was nuts. I think Shannon is going to fit well with the Lakers though and I wish him the best of luck.

As others have mentioned already, Jared Dudley was a difficult loss to cope with. That trade was definitely bittersweet.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
