That's why I said he was a solid shooter from inside the arc. I should have been more clear in my explanation ,but I was saying he shoots the 3 like Rafer for his career.
Although I'm not involved in any arguments with Brooksball, he said it was his trade idea in this very thread. He even bashed the TS for not acknowledging this.
you're bashing Brooksball over nonsense, there is nothing idiotic about his trade suggestion....2+2=4. entiendes mendez? personally I don't like the trade, but it's plausiable. I wish there was a way we could get Jeff Foster from Indiana, but I don't know how we could do it. Any suggestions?
Horrible trade. I can't remember the last time Brad Miller made an impact. Salmons is a solid player puting up good numbers on a horrible team. I'm dissapointed in Mac as much as the next guy but if we acquire Salmons and B.Miller we will have one of the oldest/unathletic/softest trio of centers with Yao/Miller/Deke. Hypothetically speaking If we had a true superstar point guard I'd be all for the trade but I just can't help but see a starting line-up with Alston/Salmons/Battier/Scola/Ming struggling mightily. Bring Brooks, Head/Wafer/Barry, Artest, Landry, Miller off the bench for a nice 2nd unit. The trade does give us nice depth but we have no one that can really create their own shot with the exception of (Artest/Salmons/Brooks) but more importantly nobody to distribute the ball and create shots shots for others. Besides, depth is not one of our big weaknesses. Our glaring issue is the need for a true point guard. Everything comes back to the incompetence of Rafer Alston. Some of Rafer's downfalls were masked because of Mac's ability to distribute. That Billups + Prince or RIP deal sure looks good right about now. Imagine if we could've had Mcgrady for Devin Harris even. Everybody would do that in a heartbeat now. At the time Rockets wouldn't have done it. But Dallas would have. The point is if we trade Mcgrady we better get a skilled true PG or a player similar in style (create his own shot and distribute). Brad Miller and John Salmons are NOT the answer.
Thank You. If we make that trade, who do we have to make plays? Remember, T-Mac leads the team in assist and thats not by accident. Rafer isn't going to create plays and Artest is not really a player maker either. Salmons is a shooter. Sure T-Mac has been playing like ass as of late but he is still our best passer. T-Mac on one knee is still our best guy at creating shots for himself and others.
At the time I first proposed McGrady for Salmons and Miller in the random trade ideas thread, the only player I had heard that Sacramento was interested in moving was Brad Miller. The only reason I added Salmons was that when I went to put a trade together, there had to be another player to make the numbers work. Salmons made the most sense because of the value of his contract and the known depth that the Kings have at the wing positions with Martin, Garcia, Salmons and Greene. Yesterday, I read something from the SacBee where they talked about the possibility of making Salmons available in addition to Miller in order to attract more suitors. That added some legitimacy to my trade idea but still didn't make it any kind of rumor. I haven't seen anything from Houston or Sacramento mentioning any kind of trade involving McGrady. As far as the OP not being able to read before creating a thread, that's not on me. I never once said anything about there being a rumor of that trade. I probably posted something related to my idea 6 or 7 times across a few threads but never once said it was a rumor from an outside source, just that it was an idea I had. The reason I brought it up in a thread outside of the random trades thread is that somebody asked me what we could do better to address frontcourt needs than signing Mutombo.
Lame. I never said that and I'm an unqualified leader anyways. I'm just another dumb fan like you. Clutch is the only leader around here. It's his site, right?
I know. That was my point. You never said it was from an outside source, you acknowledged it was your idea. As you know, I'm certainly not opposed to moving TMac. I just don't like this trade idea. I just think this trade is pointless. If we can't get a good young player, or a couple of key components that can help us contend, then why make the deal. I have yet to read your opinion on Salmons, but I think people are caught up in his career season for a bad team. He's just another role player. In terms of Miller, he's not going to be used enough to be effective. I'm at the end of the line with TMac (just like many of you), but I won't give him away. Id prefer to wait until next season (many more teams will be willing to gamble because he's expiring next season), and we can let him walk if we don't get an acceptable offer. Miller won't be resigned and Salmons isn't a difference maker. I'm going to hope we use the cap space and go after Joe Johnson. he may get lost in the shuffle (and Atlanta is notorious for front office problems)
Stop sucking up to him, I don't like how you berate other posters and think other posters won't call you out.
No sucking up and I rarely attack other posters even when they come at me. I'll make an exception in your case. You are dumb like I said in the last post. Thanks for the validation.
