Wow.... I didn't realize this was a political convention. Can I give Ravi some players too. He seems like a good guy.

Who cares what the players name is. A 76OV is not a throw in. Lesser players have been flipped for more value.

Convince yourself that Webber sucks and this deal does look good. I think you will have trouble convincing 29 other GM's that he sucks.

Picks are picks? Sure if you are talking about 4th's or 5th's most top 45 picks in a draft should be given every opportunity to develop. You make them sound like a game of Keno.

If you are bored then look through the transactions from last year and see how Ryan took a $hit team out of cellar and turned it into a champion. I am pretty sure he never gave anything away.
