[Clos]

Winners:

-Spurs (Getting Blair in the second round was a steal, even if he only lasts 3 seasons in the NBA that's all they will need him for)
-Lakers (Got some money for people that weren't even going to crack their rotation. You can make a case that they need to start getting younger guys but keeping Ariza, Odom, and Brown is their priorities)

Losers:

-T-Wolves (Picking up 2 PG's with the 5 & 6 and now Rubio might not come for 2 years)
-David Kahn (This was his chance to show that he could be a good GM, I think he left more people scratching their heads than McHale did)
-Turkoglu (Went from a championship contender to now looking for a new home that might not be contending for the championship)

I am adding the Knicks to my "Loser" category, 3 million to get Tony Douglass doesnt make alot of sense, not sure how good of a fit Jordin Hill is either.

Winners: Spurs. They should have been wearing masks, they made out like bandits!

They traded Foye who is always banged up and an aged Miller who averages 9.9 points per game last year for Rubio who does not plan to play in Spain for the next couple of years, he plans to come to the NBA.  Flynn is a very tough player who brings energy and has a high amount of athleticism and most people had him going in the top 5 or 6 they were not reaching.  He is a durable player who is dependable and gets overlooked because of his size.  Obviously Calethes is not going to contribute next year, but he is one of the best pgs in the draft that will progress nicely in Greece.   Ellington is good enough to help next year and he is a very underrated player.  He has always been a good shooter, but this past year at UNC he has really been a better scorer, not just shooter. They have a lack of depth at the sg position and if they play Ellington, he will help this team win games.

Its official...

According to a report from El Periodico, Ricky Rubio has decided not to come over to the United States to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves and will remain with DKV Joventut for the next two seasons.
