Yeah this one is perplexing. What were we involved just to get Wallace to Detroit?  They already kicked our ass inside and now we help them add Wallace. Expect the Piston to go to the Finals

I like Atkins better than James but this won't improve us much. What is that 4 first rounders?  Expect some trades next year at draft time

Atlanta's deal makes the Walker deal look like a steal. In the end they traded Rahim for Rebraca and Sura?

This is VERY disappointing. I canbt believe Ainge was beaten down to 
about his 12th option.  We all knew he had to get rid of the Mills' contract 
or it would have simply expired at the end of the season.  But it should 
have brought us a player closer to MLE talent rather than the
mediocre Atkins, Hunter, and yet another low first rounder.  The last 
thing this team needs is another second-rate PG and one more young 
prospect to add to the likes of Banks, Welsch, Mihm, Perkins, Hunter, 
and our two additional 2004 first rounders. Eight puppies is about 
six puppies too many for next season's kennel, ah err roster.

Good thing Wyc has become so experienced at damage control.
