Simmons on Trade

I find this guy pretty amusing; here's his take on the Minnesota/
Memphis trade last night --

"Right after I handed in this column, Chris Wallace and Kevin McHale
hooked up for an eight-player mega deal that was the Atrocious GMs'
version of the "Freddy vs. Jason" and "Alien vs. Predator" movies.
Basically, Minnesota turned O.J. Mayo into Mike Miller and Kevin Love,
Memphis took back bad more bad contracts than Minnesota, and Wallace
cemented his reputation as the undisputed worst GM in basketball.

Needless to say, Mayo was probably a lot happier than he was at the
4:50 mark of this diary. Also, congrats to McHale for being the first
GM to trade for three white guys in the same deal since Alex Hannum in
1965. And if you're scoring at home, I think McHale was Freddy and
Wallace was Jason. "

Damn, I absolutely KNEW there was going to be a trade between these
two guys, and I figured I'd stay through a pretty boring draft to see
what it was. But I left too soon.
