I love how the opinion of Jay Bouwmeester has turned around here. Where was all this love for him when he played here? When he was here, the attitude was he was one of the worst contracts in the league and waste of money. Working off that premise Feaster was a ####ing magician to dump Bouwmeester for a first, two other prospects and not take back any other salary.
But of course you're going to use revisionist history and make it seem like Feaster had a ton to work with. Trade one player with what was considered a horrible contract and another guy that prevented the GM from using other teams as leverage. Those were no win situations. We'll see how Burke does with the players at his disposal.

Burke will do very well, he is very good at trading, he has said so himself. Plus he has said that he was disappointed with the return that Feaster got on his trades, so I am sure that since he will do a lot better Burke will get at a minimum a 1st for Cammy, probably a 1st plus at least a prospect.
I wish Burke would trade Wideman too, similar big contract to Bouwmeester. I would think that Burke would be able to get a 1st and prospects for Wideman as well. What is the point of having such a great trading GM like Burke if he is scared of his own shadow and does not want to make any trades?
Cammy for a 1st plus a good prospect
Wideman for a 1st and a prospect
