i think the problem with the gortat deal that came up around the deadline, was that phoenix wanted both lamb and the toronto pick (I THINK.. but i wouldnt want to give up either).. but granted they were being asked to take back perkinsIATT, it was heavily rumored that Jared Dudley was available to teams for the right combination of picks and/or a first rd pick, and the Gortat deal had been speculated forever (although Perk always shut Gortat down when they played) but for some reaosn Presti wants to just hoard all these picks from this predicted to be terrible *** draft. JJ Hickson and DaJuan Blair were also both allegedly available for simply a pick. Granted JJ is in the last yr of his deal and will probably get paid in the offseason, that's a deal I make 10 times out of 10. We're going to draft a bunch of internationals so we can stash them because we don't even have the roster space to support the amount of picks we have, beyond the fact they will suck, and that we are in win now not develop mode, and Brooks won't play them even if they are good.

but i would easily give up our pick (late first round) and/or the bobcats 2nd (which we will assume is top 3 2nd round) for dudley.. he's locked in for another 2 seasons at under 5 mill (has a player option for the 3rd year)
