The wise move would've been to take that trade then, and not leave it up to chance that it might work out. Also when you give up the 8th pick you know what you're giving up, when you give up a future pick both sides are kind of playing the lottery.
I'm ecstatic that this went down, but I don't think it was a greater move for him to hold the 8th and hope that all things would work out and we'd end up with either Nash or have Lowry as backup.

But if we trade for Lowry, how will we sit around and piss and moan about them not trading down for him on draft day, in a magical deal that has never been confirmed to have existed????!!!!?!!??
This is great. I'm so excited to have a tough, defensive minded point guard on the team for, what, the first time ever? If, God forbid, JJ matures slightly over the off-season, and whoever the back-up pg is does a good job, I don't know why we couldn't make a run at the 7th or 8th playoff spot in the East. God bless the crappy East!

MAN!
Lowry
Derozan
Fields
Bargnani
Valanciunas
I know Fields is still a restricted free agent, but rumor is, it is unlikely they match the offer. I'm very happy we were able to let go of Forbes, plus next year's draft crop will be just as weak as 2011. I'm excited, he fits well into Casey's system as a good defensive point guard, attacking and is able to get everyone involved. I watched a good amount of him this season, because there was so much surrounding him.
Can anyone actually believe that we got Lowry for a bench player and a weak draft pick? Plus it's protected.
