Wow, not sure if you're more foolish or ignorant. Guess we'll go step-by-step. "The Nuggets brass are idiots" Kiki Vandeweghe is a solid up-and-coming GM. Issel is an idiot, but he's also not calling the shots. "Raef is gone after this season" Good riddance. He's the next Kelvin Cato. Gonna be overpaid. Isn't consistent. Is afraid of physical contact. Only plays hard when he wants to. "Wahad is your trash"/"Wahad is a terrible terrible player with no upside" He's only the best defensive player on the team and one of the better rebounders/post up players at the 2 guard position in the NBA. He held Vince Carter to a 6-for-21 game earlier this year. He's always put on the opponents best player, and he always keeps them in check. He constantly gets rebounds on the offensive boards and gets the lay-up. He's a crappy shooter, but we don't ask him to shoot. "I cant wait for LaFrentz to leave via Free agency-NVE gives up on his team and his trade value plumets threw the ground and Wahad is a terrible terrible player with no upside" My, it sounds like someone has some anger issues. Dude, it's one thing to make a biased trade idea, it's another to call people stupid when they point out your ideas don't work.
Of course I'm not the gm, but I'll ask Atlanta what they want for Ratliff although he's hurt. If i can get rid of Cato and a pock down the line I'll do it. Next I'll see if I can unload Williams for Mercer. I will get bashed on this one of course, but the Rockets don't need help in the backcourt, their problems are in the frontcourt. If I can add Ratliff and Mercer, my atheletic ability just went up 3 times. Glen Rice can become a bench player which is what he is and we'll have our shotblocker in the middle that we so deperately needs. Ratliff is hurt, but that would give us a chance to see what Collier has maybe as a backup. Its very clear where we hurt and thats 3 and 5 slots. With Ratliff,Thomas,Mercer,Mobley, and Francis that would give us a very atheletic type of team that is very valuable to our success.
My trade was kind of funny, glad you guys noticed. It was a bit lopsided. Replace Brown with Moochie. He's taller.
Wow Im not sure if your stupid or just stupid and ignorant. Like I said when I thought of an "idea" of the trade I was just thinking outloud, something for everyone to talk about. I wasn't trying to play G.M. or anything, just coming up with something we could discuss-don't call me ignorant for that. If I called you ignorant for just throwing a topic out there for discussion you would be pissed also. Speaking of foolish, if you think LaFrentz is going to be Kelvin Cato, I dont think you watch basketball. Also about my anger issues, your the one that started the negativity in this thread but I forgive you,the rockets have played bad for almost half a season and im upset...the nuggets have and will suck for eternity. ___________________________ Thanks for the welcome--milo
and yet you like your deal...why? you seem to be getting garbage in return...hmmmmmmmm. btw; i would not do that 3 way deal where we get MJ for raef. it doesnt make us better. id rather trade raef for some mid first rounder to some east team. if we are gonna start over, do it right. accepting some bad contract for an overpaid stiff is not right..thats the wrong way. all or nothing.
Thats true, we are getting your garbage but maybe both teams need a shakeup in their respective garbage. The old "change of scenery will help them" saying.
omg... pathetic dude. you think you guys are doing us a favor or something? your deal flat out sucks. take out cato and williams and rice and whoever else was in it, throw in francis, then work from there. get back to me with something a little more 'fair' and a little less 'sh!tty'. (hottodie...hey, i think the old me is coming back! yippee!! party at my place saturday night to celebrate...8 pm..byob.)
holy crap you suck!! Now I know why they call it Mile High city because you must be smoking crack. I think your angry and need help. Don't worry those Nuggets are going to be o.k.!!! Kiki will make it all better!! " I think the old me is coming back" thats great, You are the man!!LOL thats the funniest thing I have ever heard.\ (Hey by the way Party at my house and you suck-suck-suck--hard-hard-hard.)
Leebigez-- A trade for Ratliff would be great for our front court. If we really want to look for a true point guard-What about Eric Snow?? I really do not want to look for another PG , but would like to be rid on Rice, Moochie, an Cato Salaries
Also - Chris Minm looked pretty good last nite - with Cleveland having 3 big men, does he look like a good 5 for us??
Shut the $%#@ up nuggets fan and go have another beer or something like that.......hey, I heard that somewhere before??? I am having deja vous!!!
So much for all the Van Exel proposed trades. When Issel is fired, Van Exel will probably withdraw his trade demand. Real GM reports: The Rocky Mountain News reports that Denver coach Dan Issel has put his career in further jeopardy by hurling a racial remark at a fan. The local television station caught Issel on videotape in an altercation with a fan. "Hey, go buy another beer. Go drink another beer, you (expletive) Mexican piece of (expletive)," Issel said as the camera rolled. The vultures are already circling over Issel's head after nine losses in the last ten games and Nick Van Exel's very public demands to be traded. The television station, KUSA Channel 9, aired the remark with the nasty bits bleeped out. Their website does not have the footage archived and they refer to the remark as "uncharacteristic". Nonetheless, you have to wonder how much rope Issel has to play with. ESPN's David Aldridge reports that the Nuggets have suspended Issel for 4 games and fined an undisclosed amount in response to the incident.
