Atlanta had the 2nd best record in the NBA last season. We could actually get that 2nd round pick.

Spurs didn't a that great return for Splitter but it really really doesn't matter given the circumstances. Spurs got freaking Aldridge and West thanks to that trade!

"athletic" euros always suck balls in nba.. see papanikolau.. the euros that translate well are skilled guys.. there is enough athleticism in nba

Not mad, just would have liked to at least get something. The deal is a steal for Atlanta and we likely gave up more for a 3rd string pg.

Pretty sad Mosgov goes for two firsts and this is all he brings
Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
Printezis consider to be the Robert Horry of Europe thanks to his clutch moments and game winners...
Re: Splitter traded for 2007 second-rounder Georgios Printezis and top-55 protected 2
Printezis can be Ilyasova type player with a little Casspi in him and bigger balls...

Philly gave up Vucevic & a 1st rd pick to dump Iggy's salary...... just be thankful that Bud didn't demand Kyle & a 1st rd pick to take Tiago's salary.

Is that how you revised the Bynum trade?

Also known as the heist that ceremoniously marked he beginning of Sixers grand tanking plan. Hinkie wanted to clean house & usher in the tank-a-ton era by trading for a guy that FAILED a physical. Hinkie basically traded every player that was drafted/signed by the previous regime including dumping Iggy's salary by throwing in Vucevic & a 1st rd pick. Iggy would have made it harder to tank but the fact Bynum wasn't going to suit up made it VERY convenient as he wanted as many lotto picks as possible ASAP.

No. Hinkie wasn't even in charge when that trade happened. He didn't take over until the next season. Before that, they were a playoff team that considered themselves one star away from a title.
Regardless, if they just wanted to move Iggy and tank they could have gotten the first-rounder and Afflalo that Denver gave up for Iggy. They didn't need to give a pick.

Would make sense, need a little time to finalize player contract and any team buyout, and, as noted, Greece isn't the easiest place to do business these days.
