Sonics trade

[Jim Hill]

Now why cloud the Ainge bash with facts?  Your missing the point I think.

Keep in mind Orlando also had to give Lewis an
absolutely ungodly sum. I'm not sure we could have fit
that deal under our cap even if we'd found a way to
include Wally and Ratliff in the deal. Nor if we could
have done that and then given Al a big extension.


>>Would we have been 
better off giving up that little (a second-round pick
and a $9 mill trade exception or a reasonable
facsimile) ) for Lewis rather than giving up Delonte,
Wally, and #5 Jeff Green (or Jianlian who we would
have taken had we kept the pick)
