I don't know these players enough to judge the trade but Gross seems to be a talented player.

On a side note, Austin lost yesterday at Anaheim 109-104

Next game will be on Friday against LA Defenders. It should be an interesting one.

Josh Gross was the guy I never heard of who had like 40 points on 16-of-17 shooting against the Toros a couple weeks ago. Stinson wasn't anything special so this was probably a good game. Whenever someone shoots 90% against you, it's a good idea to trade for that player.
