 How was it a good trade?  We got nothing for a first round draft pick. 
You don't think the Bulls, Cavs, Spurs, etc. wouldn't at least have
given a first round pick?  Instead we got 2 worthless 2nd rounders that
RP has since given away because he also knew they were worthless.. Nope
bad trade anyway you look at it.  Troy
