Miller And Salmons Traded To Chicago

http://www.depressedfan.com/img/bradmiller021809.jpgNot that Miller, we're talking about Brad Miller. Here are the details of the trade:

Chicago gets: Brad Miller, John Salmons
Sacramento gets: Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden, and Cedric Simmons from Chicago. Ike Diago from Portland
Portland gets: Michael Ruffin

I have to say, Sacramento got fleeced in this deal. The talent was obviously lopsided, but that isn't what really bothers me here. It's the fact that Sacramento gave up the most talent AND took back the worst contract, by far, involved in the deal. Nocioni is really a garbage player, and he's signed for 5 years/$35M+.

I'm not sure how trades like this happen, but I'd absolutely love it if the Sixers could find themselves on the winning end of one of them some day.

I'm wondering if the Bulls may not be done. I'm not sure where Salmons is going to find his minutes on that team. Good move for Chicago, possibly enough to put them into the playoffs.

Your opinion of Nocioni is not universally same depending on who you ask - I've read some rather positive reviews of Nocioni (and no i haven't looked to see what kind of player he grades out as) but perception seems to matter more in the NBA than in other deals and some perceive Nocioni as not 'garbage'

Yeah, I'm sure there are some with opposing perceptions of him, but his stats are horrible, the bulls blogs I've read in the past think he's horrible and just my own view of him from the times I've seen him play (maybe 20 games?) makes me think he's horrible.

Gee, I always thought he was this scrappy hustle player with an outside shot.

He's steve kerr?

If he's steve kerr he's over paid

Um, no... he's an entirely different player. Maybe more like a three-point-shooting Reggie Evans.

That's unpossible.

And it's a shame my joke was missed

Yeah, dat a shame, Dutch... a real damn shame. My uncle tell me dat any joke get missed, it ain't no joke ta begin wit.

I still think Nocioni has a better effect on his team than Willie + Lou do, hence yeah he deserves more money than both of them. Obviously all three are paid much more than they should be.
