I wish those threads weren't scrubbed out in the Great Purge. Would love to go back and read though peoples' thoughts about that trade. I certainly remember a contingent being anti-trade.
Oh yeah, the purge eliminated a lot of good reading.
I was just a lurker back then though, so I can't claim I had any special foresight. I was just excited that KG was coming. Heck I think the first KG trade rumors (that he killed pre-draft) are how I found CBlog.
I thought the 'newest' forum was created at the very end of 2006. I remember it taking me a couple of weeks to re-create my profile (mine says Jan 12, 2007), but all of the old stuff before the KG trade should still be there.
On a related note, I am glad this version of the forum has lasted so long. I remember three versions before this one officially took over. And, while it's been a little iffy with 'connection problems' the last couple of years, it is nice to have so many years of posts chronicled.
