    How do you know? He's playing on a losing team...wouldn't that affect the way you would play too?

    If all that kept us away from winning a title was a SF that is a bad shooter then Morey would have traded for him by now. Obviously Morey is smarter than you.

    OBVIOUSLY, we're more than 1 player away...thanks for pointing that out to us genius! It's going to take multiple moves, but Iggy/SD would be a good start IMO

    I agree, but 4.5 games and 2 has 0 to do with how many road or home games have been played vs how they're playing. Dallas had their moment when they were the 2nd best team in the league. The spurs and I said this to my buddy a few years ago waited too late to get more athletic and size. Mcdyess made 0 sense for 3 years and i said that then. I like jefferson added to the mix, but they have like too many small guys. The rockets have to play full tilt just to beat avg teams and over the 82 game season and thats not going to happen. When crash and i were discussing deals, i just made the point that Dallas will be willing to take back a guy like kapono to get iggy and dalembert and houston won't. That alone and along with getting smaller contracts would lead me to believe if dallas wants iggy, they have a better chance. The huge mcgrady deal is cool, but its huge which menas alot of players from another team.

    so let's go get a SF shooting worse than Iggy from the field and 3?


    Iggy is clearly a better solution at the 2 than Caron Butler

    financially Caron has his benefits

    AND nobody said that's all it would take to win one

    Butler is maxed out...he's as good as he'll ever be and if anything, will start to decline. And you want to talk about a SF that can't shoot????

    Haywood would be a nice 1/2 year rental.

    accept? do you accept?

    Your man crush shoots worse from 3 than Iguodala and you're putting down Iguodala's 3 point efficiency

    then you act like some sort of "common knowledge" makes your opinion superior?

    Disgusting

    Thats just your opinion. Doesnt mean a hill of beans to me. I'm not the biggest supporter of the Washington trade, but I do believe when you look at the numbers, it is hands down better than the Philly deal imo. We arent going to get Iggy, mark it, book it, save this link to your favorites, but it isnt going to happen.

    Caron Butler put up all stars when he played in the same system we use now.

    well he has spent 2 straight years declining in apg, fg% and 3P%, spg

    he's down 4.3ppg from just last year and he's on pace to put up similar if not more reps than last year

    Caron Butler sucks. He's shooting 41.9% from the field and 27.1% from behind the arc.

    That's fine if we dont do the Philly deal, but def dont do the Wash deal for that scrub. Dude's jumper is broke as hell....and he's what, 30 or 31? How rare is it that guys get "better" after 30?
