I like it, although it reeks of a salary dump. My guess is that he'll be back this summer on a smaller contract. Could end up being a nice move by Colangelo if we can get him back. Pacers probably want to make a bit of a run in the playoffs and don't mind renting him for the cost of a second rounder. I don't know how the second round works, but if Indiana does better, does that pick get better as well? Meaning 1st round: worst team picks first and best team picks last (in theory), 2nd round: best team picks first and worst team picks last? Kinda like a zig-zag.

I agree completely that even a mid-late 2nd round pick is better than getting nothing in return for Barbosa... plus, he could still return next season at a much lower veteran contract, who knows.

Not impressed. I thought he could have yielded more the a 2nd round pick. His value to this team is definitely above that. I this instance I think we should have just kept him. You set a precedent in what you trade players for. If you are not going to get fair value you don't give something to your opponent.Last edited by saints91; Thu Mar 15, 2012, 11:37 AM.

- Raps get a 2nd round pick
- Raps are worse without Barbosa for the rest of the season, improving draft positioning
- Raps could re-sign Barbosa next season

Some teams, especially tax paying teams, may not want the guaranteed contract that goes along with a first round draft pick come draft night with free agency starting 3 days later.
