Did not read all posts, but Zeller is a steal. Has been had for nothing, and despite my being biased as a 'Heels fan, he's young, solid, hard working, very smart, and comes at an amazing price. Home run here.

You will be proven to be CORRECT....I like Zeller a lot---I would see him play, and wonder why we couldn't get a player like him...now we do---for Free.  :)

I was always envious of the teams that drafted the Zeller brothers; Cody, Tyler - all good players; Now we have Tyler, I hope everything pans out for him with us.

So after LeBron announces he's staying in Miami tomorrow we basically just pulled a five finger discount on Thornton/Zeller/and a first? And we'd still have our shot at Love?

Danny is genius.

If LeBron does pick the Heat then this pick will probably end up between 15-20. Too much talent not to eventually get the 8th seed. If LeBron goes to Cleveland this is the 28th pick in the draft.

Still a great trade especially if Boston picks up Love or another star during the season. Good job.

This is the trade that got us Zeller. And the reactions from the community were quite positive- I only had time to skimm throught the comments but most seemed happy we got a big and a first for a trade exception

Nobody knew the Cavs 1st would be used for IT seven months later.

Bumping past threads for discussion is great. But please do not use them to make other users look bad.
