first wish for rox-hope rudy t comes back healthy. DONT trade glen rice-everyone says how he is attractive trade bait b/c of his contract. isnt that reason for us to keep him. we will need his $9 to resign our own guys. why trade for someone who will lock up more capspace? DONT trade eddie g, unless we are made a deal we cant refuse. it is still too early to just give up and trade him just for the sake of trading. DONT put francis at the 2. he cannot play the two. the francis/mobley delima will be the biggest issue in the offseason. it is obvious that they cannot get the job done together. they are too similar in style and one has got to go. who do we trade though? i say francis. he is one of those guys who has no natural position to play in the nba. he is not a PG who will ever take a team anywhere (farily obvious after 4 years), but he is WAY undersized to move to the 2. he might be able to hold his own on the offensive end, but can yall imagine him trying to defend the elite SG's in the league like kobe, vince, t-mac, finley, ray allen, ect. steve is at best an average defender of PG's(that is w/ rocket bias too). he would get killed every nite by the bigger 2 guards. pray to buddah that yao is happy and will stay here when his contract expires. if i asked "do you think that yao will eventually win a championship?", the majority would probably say yes. can the same be said for francis. arrgh, says i, me thinks not.
I like the trade but I don't think the Bucks would. Remember all that value we are placing on Rice's expiring contract? Kukoc's $9+m contract ends after next season as well. Do you think they could do better than Taylor? He hasn't done much vs MIL this season.
no way! kukoc is no spring chicken and do we really need another small forward and one less power forward? and why would the bucks take mo's huge contract off our hands. and though he is overpaid cato-style, he is great comming off the bench for instant scoring punch. its taken awhile, but he is finally getting back to pre-injury form. taylor will be a hard one to get rid of unless we take someone else's bad contract and we dont want that. eddie will get traded before taylor does.
You know we're not going to do sh*t... Mgmt. is going to say the team needs time to "gel" and we have a great "young" team poised for the future...
Some of you have said that if Francis goes to SG he will get "ruffed" up by larger "2's." He gets lit up almost every game NOW. Personally, If I could move Francis, I would, but, likely, he is going nowhere. Yes, redefine his role, play to his strengths, but, please please get a smart sure handed playmaking guard. If Kidd comes to SA then let Parker come to the Rockets.
I agree with all 3 of them. However, this does not address our backcourt concern. Are you anticipating that a coaching change will improve our backcourt?
