Re: Hakeem-Croshere-Vitaly?

IMO, it's a bad move for the Cs. I don't feel Croshere is an upgrade, he didn't
show me much, even in his supposedly best pre-contract-lakers-series days.
I see him as a slow moving, slow release kind of a tweener PF. If Pot is cap
crap at 33mil/7year, then Croshere is a bigger wash at 56mil/7year. I am having
too high a opinion of Wallace that this deal is for real.

If Wallace wants to deal Pot at all, I hope is for a short term player + picks.
