hoo beleeves the dikembe trade was worth it

the trade was - dikembe to HOU for A. Griffin & E. Piatkowski to (NYK)

im glad we got rid of those 2 coz they r so useless

New York Knicks? It was a trade between Chicago and Houston. Im happy with the trade, we got Piatkowski who is the main player in the trade. He is fundamentally sound and is a great shooter, he knows his role and plays it well. Griffin and Wilks are just change.

Mutombo is over the hill...in fact he is at the bottom of the hill.

Oh I think we waived Wilks and then he re-signed with Houston again...

Dikemebe's just a big body to replace Cato, who was the backup bigman for Yao Ming, Piatkowski is a good 3 point shooter, but all in all nobody got anything special out of this, both teams just got role players.

sorry 4 b4 i meant to say chicago

I'd say Chicago got the better of the deal, Piatkowski can do a nice job putting in a few bombs off the bench and Griffin has a decent defensive game if he can get a few minutes. Mutombo would have been unhappy in Chicago and that would have probrably would have had him wanting to get out. In Houston he's with Patrick Ewing and on a team that's got alot of potential for a big season so it's a nice situation for him to finish his career.
