We have both, Rice is our pure shooter and Ming is our big rebounder. Dude, in the last 6 games he has averaged 18.67 ppg, 13.67 rpg and 2.33 bpg...He has been playing like a stud.
shooter: Jon Barry rebounder: put Griffin in the weight room. he definitely has the makings and the skills of a great rebounder...good hands, quick instincts, high jumper...he just lacks the strength. He'll get there.
We have outrebounded our last 6 or 7 opponents before tonight's game. With just one game which we didn't rebound well, someone is calling out to trade for a rebounder...geeze..
we need 1 pure shooter=peja stojakovic etc 1 pg that is UNSELFISH, and can make HIGH % shots when needed=steve nash 1 REAL & STRONG POWERforward that can get some rb and blocks, not like skinny 3pt-er griffin or KT=elton brand btw, i think rudy should let cato play the pf position sometimes and that might help yao to get some offensive rb when steve miss more than 10 shots in a game(like he did today and most of the time) since steve just doesn't care what the score is and put up those ridiculous shots anyway
Let's not overreact people. While these two losses are demoralizing, it doesn't call for immediate trades. Our KT was out today, and if he were around, we'd probably see less of EG today. We have a pure shooter in Rice. The trouble is, IMO, we're not using him properly. His minutes and productivity have been largely biased to the first quarters of games. When we need him most, in the 4th is when he, and in tonite's case, the rest of the team, fades. Who's gonna step up???
ok, according to this, who do we not need? hell, lets get kobe, kerr, and anybody else that's crappy for this team. FORGET TRADES we need to work with what we have and stop crying about what we need. it sounds more like you WANT those things.
we have shooters in Nachbar and Rice already...what we need is somebody like Jerome Williams from Toronto...he's a tough hardnose rebounder whos full of energy...He would be perfect for our squad I think..
