    You are basing the direction of team off of a 29 game stretch that almost lead them to the 8th seed? come on man....

    For any of you with doubts about NENE..

    one of the columnist in the article basically states... nene is one of the most under rated C's in the game. Can be a PF too... He was #9 in the category in best C's. I disagree on that. He should be higher but whateva.

    Bottomline is if all ths shapes up the way Morey wants it, then we will have one of the best Front Courts in the NBA. With Lowry, C-Lee penetrating left and right. And our bench picking up the slack with hustle.

    Not at all, I think Lee is a nice two way player, but if you get a quality center to protect Kmart's weakness on the perimeter, there is no doubt his scoring is a deadly weapon.

    People around here confuse messages.....Kmart is not a batman, but he is a good scoring role player.....

    My problem is that we traded 2 Robins for a little better Robin.....and we hope that the guys behind our 2 traded Robins are at least Catwoman...and not jokers !

    So basically this trade is Scola, Martin, Dragic and Knicks pick for Gasol and Nene?

    While playing with the games most serious ball hog. There is also the small point of rim protection. One of the several reasons that Houson su**ed on defense last year.

    Ahhh I check the forum for the first time in a few hours and so many posts to sift through!

    Definitely did not like this trade, we are giving up way too much. Morey shot himself in the foot with this one.

    Pau: "It's just not been easy mentally and emotionally. It's a hard situation to deal with. You come in and you're excited about a new challenge, new season, new coaching staff...and then obviously all these talks are on and it was very close to happening." "If the NBA hadn't stopped it, I would be gone. I wouldn't B here today. It's tough 2 keep your balance. I'm happy it hasn't happened."

    Only 9 players participating today. Casey Mitchell joined squad but no K-Mart, Luis, Goran, Patrick (foot), Marcus or Chandler(no contracts)


    Well that's kind of messed up for Dragic, Martin and Scola.

    There is no way Morey could have stopped Martin named from leaking in this deal. More damage would be done to Martin if he found out by watching TV or listening to the radio than it is by Morey telling him directly.

    The thing is, the trade value of a little better robin is higher than 2 slightly worse Robins :grin:
