Re: Why I like it

Patrick is right. I think that if we an accept that 
Anderson was gone anyway (50-50 since he might have re-
signed for much less), and Rodney was gone anyway (80-
20), this was a bold trade that didn't cost Boston all 
that much talent (the 21st pick and a backup center with 
a knee injury). Knowing what the insiders knew, they came 
out of a bad situation by at least adding a proven 
starter.

But I really hope to learn which team forced the issue of 
including Forte for Shammond. And was it necessary to 
make this trade work cap-wise (I've heard different 
things).

Despite everything, it seemed like Boston had more 
leverage to squeeze Seattle into greater concessions. 

Instead Seattle was allowed to dump the two least popular 
players on the team, and the two worst defenders. They 
save 40+ million to re-sign their true franchise players. 
And they add two legitimately tradeable commodities in 
Kenny and Forte. Possibly even Potapenko, to another 
Western Conf. team.
