Yeah the only way they were going to get Purcell was to trade for his contract. His size addresses a need but he's soft which is an ongoing issue with that roster and he's going to find it harder to collect points in the Western conference. Not to mention they are placing a lot of pressure in an 18 year old kid they just drafted. It's kind of like RNH all over again.
