Not a bad theory, but it would never happen. TMac is a starter as long as he is healthy. If anything expect Artest to be the leader of the 2nd unit.
I would do nothing but changing our squad . In detail , I would trade tmac anyway because I don't want to give 22m dollars per year to a guy who is not able to lead his team to win even one series in the playoffs. Any trade that can help the mean les avoid the luxury tax will be gonna accepted , I swear to the God .
You telling me that you can find players who can lead a team like ours last season pass the first round? O lordy lordy lord, if there was such a player who could dominate by himself in the west, we have a new Michael Jordan. I'm pretty sure if our role player didn't choke last season (and if rafer wasn't injured), the first round would've been ours. Game 6 was a terrific performance by McGrady, but like what Jazz said, they don't care if he scores 60, if he remains the only one scoring, we still won't win. Geeze criticizing is one thing, but being an idiot (yet trying not to sound like one) is another.
I get it, your doing it on purpose. The bad grammar, broken english, spaces before punctuation and bad bad ideas. Your not foreign, you just like people getting mad then responding to you. Well no more my friend, I'm on to you.
I was talking about consistently getting Yao the ball. I have seen so many games throughout the last 4 years where Yao is having an unbelievable game like 8 for 10 from the field but then the team stops feeding him the ball. I don't want Yao to score all the points but I would like him to become our focal point on offense. Yao should always touch the ball on any given possession even if someone is else is going to take the shot. We need to establish Yao's presence early in the game so that teams have to scramble to double him in the 2nd half and thus allow easy shots for the entire team. My strategy going into a game, first 8 minutes Yao gets 5-6 shot attempts in the post where he shoots a very good pct then we work the game inside out let defense collapse on Yao so McGrady and Artest can punish them. Every Player on floor should now where Yao is on the court look to pass him when they can. My philosophy if you have a powerful assault rifle then why use a freakin pistol? Maximize your best player's ability and let him lead you to the promise land.
I can't start threads so I tried to find the best spot for this. With Monta Ellis out for a lot of the season, is it possible the Warriors are desperate or maybe not? What if we threw Luther to them, maybe combine him with AB for a back center to us? Kosta Perovic? Ronny Turiaf (he evens has a backward contract)? Just some thoughs as to putting head to use maybe.
How is trading our backup point guard for backup center going to help us. We're just as thin at point as center. Deke, Dorsey, and Scola can play limited minutes as centers. At point guard, we have brooks and francis as our backup.
dude, yao's been in the NBA for a while now. yao can be easily denied of the ball (fronting, aggressive double teams, physical play...). you think nobody wants to give yao the ball?
Well I actually stated with Head first. But mentioned Brooks if it was for Ronny. Next you always got Francis if something was to go down involving 2 of the back ups. If that was the case you can always have Barry play a couple minutes to help rest Rafer.
