My Take On The Denver/Houston/Philly Deal



An excellent trade by all three teams with needs being fulfilled:

Denver - Were unlikely to re-sign defensive stalwart, quasi-Pippinesh
Posey, so they moved him out,  picked up a couple of draft choices,
and incresed their chances in the Lebron James/Darko Milicic lottery.

Houston - They needed longetivity in the backcourt and to free up
minutes
for E Griffin. They're a team to be feared in the present and future.

Philly - They needed rebounding and scoring depth up front,
and they got that with Celtic killer Thomas, who will see playing
time backing up Coleman and Van Horn.  Philly however
gave up yet another draft choice. Larry B, rightly so, must be pretty
confident in his coaching abilities and Philly's location in the NBA
spectrum.

Now what moves will Bird-Hating Celtic management make before the
deadline?
