After observing the playoffs closely I think I have found the perfect power forward for the Rockets. He hustles, he rebounds and he takes the ball to the hole strong. His development over the past three seasons has been amazing as he has even added a jumper to his already amazing game. His name is Amare Stoudemire. Since Joe Johnson has come back and Phoenix has made it clear that they really want to resign him, do you think that they would take a few expiring contracts, first round draft picks and our throating European point guard for Stoudemire. I propose: Baker,Moochie, Wesley , the European throater and two #1's. Thoughts?
Obviously. I felt the need to post that because it mirrors some of the ridiculous trade proposals that I see here quite often. It is a carbon copy of exactly what I normally see suggested for Kidd, Chandler,ect.. On a side note, I really wanted to say "throating European Point guard" for some reason.
Are you serious??? There is absolutely no way the Suns would let go of Amare! I'm not sure they would even do it for Yao, with the way they run the court. The way he has played this season and especially in the playoffs leads me to believe he is on the verge of superstardom. Teams don't trade that kind of talent (especially those with his size, skills, and athleticism) for scrub players, unknown comodities, expiring contracts and even high draft picks....let alone the number 24. No chance whatsoever of getting Amare. Although it would be nice, it's just not feasible.
Here's my serious suggestion... let's get Amare! Impossible! That sucks! No way! Uh, yeah, I knew that. I was only joking! Yeah, that's the ticket! It was all a big joke!
KAS- So the Rockets see Spanoulis, as you say, "throating"? Dissapointing. Any word on the throatiness of a certain Senegalese via Germany?
You're a pretty smart dude (and you are clearly throating) if you think I was serious. I even pointed it out to be a joke before responses started coming. Some were smart enough to figure it out, others (youself) weren't. If Shaq were here he'd tell you that " You're throating like Erick.......Dampier.
No they don't see him as thoating. He's an option, I was just joking around. His defense is suspect but other then that he may or may not work out. I wouldn't get too excited over him because he really isn't an upgrade over what we have now. In terms of Badiane, he's exactly what he's been advertised. He's really athletic but raw offensively. I could see him contributing for us because of his rebounding and shot blocking but he's a project. Think Hakim Warrick with even less court awareness and offensie ability
Read down the thread, Einstein -- you changed your tune AFTER the responses came, not before. Even if you were joking, that's the oldest, lamest "joke" around: Start an entire useless thread to make fun of bad trade suggestions. Haven't ever seen THAT one before.
Man, that's ridiculous! no way do I see that happening! Now, you might be able to do something if we could split the MLE and sign Joe Johnson and Tyson Chandler. I am sure the Suns and the Bulls wouldnt dare match it!
I'll say. KASdude, I'm just tweaking you. I love ya like a brother -- albeit a brother who starts dumbs threads.
You're a dork. The one responce I had received was that we couldn't get Amare without trading Yao or TMac. That's when I said obviously. You are obviously some sort of message board diva who takes this stuff way too serious. Do you notice how serious you take these things ? A useless thread maybe, but you make it like i went into your yard and killed your dog. It amazes me that you aren't intelligent enough to figure out it was a joke.
Nice use again IC2000. I must give praise to some of the posters on this board who have helped make the word "throating" a household term.
You're AMAZED? How cute. Hey, I've got an idea -- let's start a thread about how Yao isn't living up to his potential! You know, as a brilliant parody of those threads where people say Yao isn't living up to his potential! Man, THAT would be some clever ****e! Don't worry, KAS, I'd be all defensive, too, if people were all up in my sh*t about starting a lame thread. Seriously, watching you backpedal is kind of fun.
It's cool then. However, I still think that people take things too seriously over here. I have a buddy who got banned for joking around during the Carlos Beltran situation. People fail to realize that a lot of these "dumb threads" are jokes. If you don't think they're funny, that's cool, but don't overreact either.
