    Hi Rookie, what's your point by typing your words in both languages? You are doing no one a favor by doing so actually. I believe most Chinese coming to this site can understand English far better than you do. Type English only please.

    Now that we have made "the" blockbuster trade of the offseason for our team by getting Artest, does anyone think that there will be another one coming soon?

    I believe that Leandro Barbosa is still on the trading block. Do ya'll think it would be worth while to go after him if it included losing Alston? I think Phoenix is looking to replace him with a legit backup point guard for Nash, not a 2 in a 1 body which is more of what Barbosa is. I don't know if we can afford to lose Alston at this point, but to have another scoring threat who does all the things that Alston can't (attack the basket, spot up shoot, draw defenses) would be a real asset to this team. I just don't know if we would be out of playmakers. All we would have left would be Francis, Brooks and Barry at the point. We don't know if Francis will be healthy, If Brooks is mature enough, and if Barry is too old to handle it, especially with younger quicker guards. Would Barbosa be able to handle the task of defending those guards while being the playmaker??

    In any case, we will be an insanely good team this year with the additions of Artest and Barry to an already deep core. Just for fun I want to see what we would look like with Barbosa on this team traded for Alston and Head. :

    P.G. - Barbosa.............Brooks............Francis
    S.G. - McGrady............Barry.............(Novak)
    S.F. - Artest...............Battier............Harris
    P.F. - Scola................Landry............Hayes
    ..C. - Yao...................Mutombo........Dorsey


    That is hands down got to be the best offensive team in the league. We would be scoring 115 a night on average. The specials team on defense would be insane! We could match up with anyone in the league whether it be small ball OR all big men.

    This is so 可笑. Chinese is spoken by billions and it's been around for 3000 years at least, unlike English. Just enjoy, man.

    Personally, I would emulate Chuang Tzu. But more to the point, I think Artest will soon be speaking more Chinese than some of us. Ron you are a ****ing 男子汉, Baby. And it even rhymes. That's our new chant:

    "Ron, Ron, the 男子汉!" You know that's good. Chinese, back me up on this one.

    This is an English-speaking message board, and it is a sign of disrespect to its owner and everyone here who does not speak Chinese to post in Chinese. Almost all Chinese posters here understand and respect that.

    It's really up to Clutch, but expecting the posts to be in English is perfectly reasonable.

    Didn't Ron have a thumb injury at the end of the season? Was it on his shooting hand,and can that be a concern while going into the pre-season?
