10 Best Pickups This Summer (Kings at #10)

Found this article and thought the rankings were a little off with #10 and #8. How is getting Cuttino a better upgrade than Bonzi.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
10) Sacramento acquire Bonzi Wells for Greg Ostertag and Bobby Jackson and acquire Jason Hart for a future 2nd rounder

In order to shake things up and add some talent in Sacramento, the Kings were able to orchestrate two very beneficial trades. Although Bobby Jackson is a very talented player and has been a strong asset off the bench for the Kings, with Mike Bibby’s constant improvement, he became redundant. With the loss of both Doug Christie and Cuttino Mobley, Geoff Petrie was forced to act and convinced Jerry West to exercise Wells’ $8 million option in order for them to acquire him. In order to fill Jackson’s absence, Petrie then acquire Jason Hart for the ridiculously cheap price of a second rounder; a very good deal for the point guard with the third best assist-to-turnover ratio in the league.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
8) L.A. Clippers sign Cuttino Mobley

The Clippers lost Bobby Simmons to the Bucks via free agency and decided to open up their wallets (a rare occasion) and sign Cuttino Mobley for 5 years at a cost of $42 million. Mobley has been a consistently strong scorer for many years and will be earning a similar contract to what he had been in recent years.

thesannityannex,

Sorry, I was just going by the title of the thread.
no prob. when you brought it up, you were right, so a change was made.
 
this list is a joke. as a general rule i ignore realgm's front page articles, and this is why. i didn't read the substance, well, not much, but putting something like "heat resign shaq and haslem" at the top is just stupid. and the hughes signing was no 7, below washington trading away brown.
 
Yeah, Mobley for Simmons strikes me as a downgrade so I don't understand why that would make the best 10 deals of the summer. But these things are always ridiculous, so it doesn't really matter. All the sportswriters roasted Billy Beane for trading Hudson and Mulder and look what the A's have done this year.
