The Vince Carter Trade: Ok, getting Vince Carter is good. But losing Courtney Lee and forcing Turkoglu out of town as a result of it isn't good. I would rather have Lee and Turkoglu than Carter. So, to me, Orlando is now worse. This is a downgrade. New Jersey's still not a very good team.
The Richard Jefferson Trade: Plain and simple, this was a steal for the Spurs. They got younger, and now have 4 guys who can fill it up. The Spurs are very close to being able to win another title. They need to add one more quality center. They don't have enough height on their roster right now. The Bucks just wanted to save money.
The Shaq Trade: Great trade for the Cavs. Shaq can slow down Dwight Howard if the Cavs meet the Magic again in the playoffs. Shaq can get a bucket on his own, and take pressure off LeBron. Shaq even still commands a double team, at times. There's no serious commitment to Shaq either, because he only has 1 year left on his deal. Awesome trade for Cleveland. The Suns also just wanted to save money.
Minnesota drafting Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn: I don't like it. You can't piss off your young point guard with tons of potential by drafting another point guard immediately after him. I bet Rubio would be happy right now if he was the clear cut point guard on the team. Minny clearly should've drafted Curry or DeRozan, both of whom could play shooting guard.
