A view from a oakland paper
The original article made it seem like GS got the better deal. Here's my take:
This gives the Mavs a lot more depth for the playoffs. There were 7 people in our rotation, sad isn't it. The only people we use off the bench was Bradley, Walt, and Griffin to hack Bowen. With this trade, not only does it give us a better starting 5, but come playoff time, we have Mills, Bradley, Fortson, Howard, Najera, Daniels, and Welsch.
Although this team is not complete, it is more complete than last year, which makes this a huge plus considering that 3 of the 4 players traded was on the IR in the playoffs.

I tell her that everything will be all right; that I'll save her from whatever she's scared and take her far far away. I tell her that I love her. The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
