C'mon man, the trade's official, you don't have to keep acting like the Wiz are somehow sitting pretty after this deal.

And are you saying that you haven't been hoping to dump those two contracts?

And the playoff experience angle being a joke is why I posted it. The fact that you're arguing over 'Shard vs. Ariza or Blatch vs. Okafor is EXACTLY the point I was making. If you think a plus of this trade was playoff experience, then the trade is even worse. Okafor and Ariza aren't adding shit. Shit went out and a different shit came back.

And whether or not the rumor was true, the fact is that it seemed reasonable and most everyone thought the Hornets would have to give up something of value for someone to take on one of those deals.
