The Eddy Curry Trade

Yea there is ZERO proof of that at all.

The FO said they went with upside in that draft not that Skiles scared players. Plus the 4th pick was cheaper than the 2nd and they got another young player in the deal.

The stare down thing definitely happened.

yeah Aldridge admitted it happened

i took it as Diddy saying there is zero proof thats the reason why they traded him

Yep, exactly. I never said the stare down didn't happen but it had no bearing on what the FO did on draft night.

There's no proof that's true either. Media members did say that Skiles didn't like Aldridge for the Bulls. So maybe it did have some bearing on why Aldridge wasn't kept.

You keep him 4 years max.. That said, Aldridge still fell in that time frame. Skiles lasted 4.5 years.
