This trade is fairly equal IMO. Some contending GMs may not like it since the commish landed two talented bigs, but since Eja is rebuilding a new roster, he received pretty decent value in return.
IMO, these players are just filler:
E'Twaun
Biedrins
Watson
Sef
Lucky received:
Gasol - Best player in the deal
Lee - Second best player in the deal
Flotsam
Jetsam
Eja received:
Wes Matthews - 14pts 2-3s per game SG
Jeff Taylor - He's better than you think
McGee - Shot blocking knuckhead. He'll be better this season than last.
Hawes - In line for a huge season with the Sixers. A 7 footer who can hit 3s
Lucky's 2014 #1 - Likely somewhere between #11-#15 in a great draft
Lucky's #2 - low to mid 30s.
This is a win for Lucky, who is trying to make the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
This is a win for Eja who landed a bunch of tradeable assets. Hawes, McGee, and Matthews may all have 1st round pick value trade value at the deadline.
Props & TPs to both GMs. I like the action!
