Szczerbiak, Ricky Davis change teams in seven-player trade

<< < (2/5) > >>

The key player in this trade is obviously Michael Olowokandi. I’ve seen the Celtics a couple of times this year, and they were in desperate need of a thought big man, imo. Olo was probably the only decent one (even tho i’m not a fan of him) they could acquire without trading Pierce or their young prospects. Basically they lost something replacing Davis (i’m a fan of him) with Wally, but they improved under the basket in the defensive end. I don’t know, Celtics had do to something to find a better big man than Blount. But Olowokandi? From a Wolves prospective this is a very good trade, nothing to add: they'll love Ricky!

The key player in this trade is Ricky Davis. KG has been beggin for years for a player like Davis to come along and help the team out. He is incredibly athletic and will help get the Wolves into the playoffs. Boston got the short end of the stick altho who knows what will turn out with that future 1st rounder.

Mark Blount > Michael Olowokandi...Olowokandi CAN provide some toughness, but we'll have to wait and see if the Celtics will miss Blounts offense underneath. I believe that Boston WILL make a run for the playoffs, despite losing a talent like Ricky...PeAce

Probably yes. Anyway they didn't need an offensive weapon, but a thought defender imo. That's why Olowokandi.
