Christie and Mobley
Posted on January 11th, 2005 by
“The Orlando Magic acquired Doug Christie from Sacramento for Cuttino Mobley on Monday in a trade of guards intended to improve their defense and passing.
The Kings also received forward Michael Bradley, who is on the injured list with a strained right hamstring.
The deal was announced at halftime of Orlando’s game with the Boston Celtics. Mobley, who had started 21 of his 23 games this season for the Magic, did not play Monday and was replaced in the starting lineup by Stacey Augmon.” Source
My 2 Cents
I think this was a good deal for both teams, Christie will add some needed defense to the Magic, and Mobley will flourish under Kings high tempo game. As long as each player remains healthy I think they will make a significant contribution to their respective teams.
