smush parker signs w heat

Cleveland gets Mike Bibby

Houston gets Drew Gooden

Sac gets Rafer, Head, Sura, Newble, Houston's #1, and Cleveland's #1.

 

Striaght off the bat, the league won't allow this one.

 

Clev can add Wesley or Brown to make it work I believe.

 

What makes you think that that Rafer is on the downside of his career!?

 

Maybe, but they would have to take out their 1st round pick.

 

For one, why did trading Francis "make us look bad"? And why would trading someone you traded FOR making you look bad?

 

Miami Heat are gonna suck this next year.

 

theres nothing wrong with trying to have organization here

plus there are a few other threads that we can talk about rafer.

 

I've got my own answer to this question. Age, if anything (31 years old) is likely catching up with him much like it did with David Wesley.

 

Heh. That article is so full of spin it's not even funny. Smush Parker is far and away the worst starting point guard in the NBA.

 

Parker was decent for the Lakers 2 years ago. Last year his individual numbers were OK too, but his effectiveness with the team dropped.

Parker is a reasonable signing for the Heat. He very well might be productive next to Wade and what Miami runs on offense.

That said, the Heat would have been better served using their full MLE for Pietrus or most of it for Barnes, and trading for a PG or insisted on the LLE for Parker.

 

Denniscd,

Is Rafer being shopped still? If so, can you say anything about possible trade? Thank you

 

thats actually an interesting idea. i actually like:

Sac gets Rafer, Synder, Sura, Newble, Wesley the 2 #1s

Cleveland gets Bibby

Houston gets Gooden

Rafer, sura's expiring, a #1 and Synder is a lot to give up for gooden though.

 

I love it as a Cleveland fan. As a Houston fan, it's alright. As a main concern of getting a veteran NBA pf, Gooden is DECENT. He's only a slight upgrade from Juwan.
