Orlando got the better deal on that one.

Seems like a talent upgrade for the Kings. Not to mention, mobley's 5-6 years younger.

heh mobley and francis no longer playing together. they were pretty good friends if I remember right.

I like this trade for the Kings..gives them another bonafied scoring threat and outside shooter to compliment Peja..

i don't know about that. Christie is good defensively and offensively. Mobley isnt even that decent offensively

That was a good trade for Magics.

It looks good for the Magic, but I have a feeling that the Kings have wanted to offload Christie's contract for some time.

I think the magic get the better of the deal.

Magic got the best deal out of this for sure.

This news makes me sad

overall id say it was a draw

Cuttino Mobley is a scoring machine

Think about it, it's a bit good for both teams. Doug Christie is an extremely good defensive player. On the other hand, Cuttino Mobley is younger and not too bad either, as I remember, as playing for my city, he always held down Kobe in his D , was one of the few that could.

yup they sure did.

Cuttino Mobley should do better in the west...

Doug Christie can't shoot to save his family's life. He's always been the weak link in Sac's offense, Christie's defender could always help off him. Now with three excellent 3-point shooters, Webb will be free to massacre down low, unless teams double team him, at which point they'll be bombed by 3 sharp-shooters. Anyway, one of Orlando's advantages was the experience between Francis and Mobley to know each other's habits allowing them to be one step ahead of the defense, which is now gone.
