Tonight
Big Baby: 4 points, 4 rebounds.
Brandon Bass: 15 points, 13 rebounds.
I think we won.
For Orlando, the type of deal that gets GM's fired. Lock up Bass now.....
Probably doesn't matter much, but how many minutes did Big Baby play?
24:48 vs 25:45 for Bass.
Wow, and I was really skeptical when the trade first went down, because I really didn't pay that much attention to Brandon's game. But it looks like so far that, the skepticism wasn't justified.
BBD was such a 'headcase' to a lot of people on this blog, I would have been happy getting an overall 'decent' player, just to not hear "did we trade him for Baby?" all the time.
Getting anything above 'decent' out of Bass means two things:
- People who thought BBD was good, will be skeptics about the trade and be pleasantly surprised that Bass is actually good;
- People who were negative about BBD will rejoice and praise Danny.
The fact that Bass is actually contributing to wins for my favorite team makes this whole situation even better.
