this is crazy shizzle guys...Detroit, your one excuse of "i remember hearing about him and shaq all the time and assumed he was a pf" is seriously ridiculous. You ever hear of Shaq and Kobe? I guess Kobe is a PF by your logic.
Detroit, it looks like you tried to take advantage of someone who somehow doesn't know anything about Penny Hardaway (sorry Toronto, but I just don't know how people don't know at least that much about Penny Hardaway...am I that old already at 22?) and get the better player out of the deal...and free up space for you.
Then you want Toronto to just drop Penny so you get an even larger advantage in the trade? sounds manipulative to me. I can't completely fault you for taking advantage of either more knowledge or seizing an opportunity that you saw, but just saying it's not cool, or maybe call it honorable, to do what you did. It's like me saying that Renaldo Balkman is a Center or something. Size does not fit a player to a position, it's their skillset. Penny is not anything close to a PF, like someone else said, he's a SG/SF even PG, but not a PF.
After all that, my personal vote would be to still accept the trade, cuz it's not detroits fault he got away with it, and technically both parties agreed to the trade about 4 times, though there was arguing. I'll be perfectly willing to go along with whatever Seattle decides here though, as none of the players are stars, and I don't think any should even be starters, but decent backups.

In my opinion this trade should be rejected, I'm not going to say Detroit intentionally lied to Toronto but I do think Toronto should do a little research on the players he's trading for.

I don't know what I should do. It's both people's fault. I'll let Seattle decide what to do before I vote.
Meanwhile, what's with the new avy Seattle?
