Yes!
I love this trade!
Right after the draft, I said that of our three draftees, Joe Johnson was
the one I didn't feel good about. I'm a huge Kedrick fan (and he's starting
- good move!), and I think Forte will pan out in time. JJ just never gave
me a feeling of confidence. In hindsight, Randolph or the center from UNC
might have been a better choice, but perhaps JJ gets us more in a trade.
Besides the Kentucky connection (is that weird or what?), I like Delk. He's
instant offense off the bench. Both he and Rogers are 3-pt shooters,
continuing Wallace and Obie's mantra.
I've always loved the Durham Bull. Rogers can play inside and out. He's
only 6-7, so doesn't help as the big PF we need, but he can rebound and
score, has good hands (steals and assists), and is one *solid* dude - no
pushing him around.
I won't miss Palacio, Brown, or Johnson. I always hate giving up draft
picks, but we get Philly's don't we? which should be in the same range as
ours, and we still have Denver's sometime in the future.
Nice moves!
