As Mr. Burns would say: "Exxxxxxcellent."

[Steve Ouellette]

Yeah, I believe it is the Mavericks pick. I agree that the Sixers got essentially nothing out of the deal. Joe Smith is just a contract and Andre Miller isn't what he used to be (and who will he pass to)? And does anyone trust Billy King with three draft picks. Should guarantee the Sixers the worst record in the league, and if they nab Greg Oden, everyone will forget about the AI trade.

Don't think this makes the Nuggets true contenders though. I like George Karl as a coach, but they'll still have no defense, they've got no one to distribute the ball, Nene is overrated and one hangnail for Marcus Camby sinks them. I don't think they're in the same league with the Spurs, Suns and Mavericks.
