Sorry, I'm not in agreement in any way, shape or form.
Webber is much more skilled than you give him credit for...STILL. He doesn't always shoot perimeter shots. He takes them if he's open - and he should.
It will never be a great trade. We did NOT receive equal value in return. What it might be is the set-up for a great trade in the off-season.
Kenny Thomas is not a superstar or even a real PF. He's undersized and, while adequate, he's not going to do the job we need done at the 4. Skinner hasn't been the same since his thumbs got injured. Was it simply adrenalin at being on the Kings that was driving him? Or are we seeing the reason he was riding the bench in Philly? As far as Corliss goes, I know Big Nasty very well - having watched him for years when he was a King the first time around. I love his low post spin move, AND his heart on defense.
Those are role players. Pure and simple. We traded away a premiere power forward capable of being a team leader for three guys with limited value. The true test of the trade will come when and if Petrie is able to improve the team via their trades.
If Doug fouls out, but in so doing makes room for Bobby to come in and make a winning shot later in the game, was Doug's 6PF a good thing? I doubt if anyone would say it was. Only in retrospect can we look at it and realize that, because of the fates and the way things happen, his fouling out enabled the game winning player to get into the game. If Bobby, on the other hand, comes in and doesn't do a thing and we lose, was Doug's 6PF still good?
