    Rip Hamilton, i said that at the beginning of this season.

    If you look at the guy he is still putting up GREAT #s for a guy his age and he is the vet we need to put us over the top..


    Can you imagine a starting lineup with Martin, and hamilton and ariza in it?

    The pistons are less than ecstatic about Stuckey's play, most of them wish thye had brooks when i scroll to their forum. If we can some how unload battier, brooks + Pick for stuckey/ hamilton that would be great. As of now brooks is the better player but stuckey's ceiling is much higher as a brooks fan i even admit.

    Brooks is putting up 25/30 points every other night with good asst numbers. I guarantee you we will get something good for him. Now for all the lowry only fan boys, this isn't so he can start to appease you guys. I still don't feel lowry is the guard we need to start which is why stuckey comes into the picture. Imagine the sheer size and inability to guard us on the offensive end! Its an utter nightmare!

    Yao
    Scola
    Martin
    Rip
    Stuckey


    Ariza
    Lowry
    Jeffries
    Budinger.



    Another scenario is that we trade for a Big man and bring Bud into the starting lineup. These dynamic wings we are building will render this offense unguardable since they can just catch and shoot and toss the ball to Yao M.

    Darryl Morey is going to be pulling rabbits out of his hat this summer, just watch.

    except that he's massively overpaid and (seemingly) constantly injured. besides that, and the fact that you already have a starting 2 and starting 3 and have no room for him on your roster, you could be right.

    I thought we just traded for a much younger version of Rip in Martin ? :confused:

    We already have two redundant wings in Battier and Ariza.

    We do not need two more redundant wings in Martin & Hamilton, especially when the latter person of the latter grouping is being paid so much.

    Ill just make a random comment, Hamilton is pretty underrated at creating for others which is weird since he is always running around without the ball. Anyways ya, Martin is better. If they go after a 2 it better be Wade or Johnson. Maybe Manu.

    No way, we need a healthy Yao, a stretch PF, and a trade of one of the Battriza boys.....and we are good to go.

    In that case, we shouldn't be running Adelman's offense at its "pinnacle" rather, something catered specifically for the best offensive center in the league...

    Exactly... It is a waste to have Yao in the game in a princeton system...

    the idea of "adelman's offense" is a myth. he doesn't have a rigid philosophy, but rather caters to the personnel he has within the framework of a read and react based offensive structure.

    Nope, we can't rely on him being healthy, he goes from main option to one of the main options.

    A stretch 4 that can also pass and play the high post would be crucial......IMO...

    Just say it. You want us to go after Murphy.

    Bosh or Amare are players that would be ideal. Not some guy shooting from the outside.

    I think drafting a big would be a better solution than trading for Murphy.

    His contract is rather large and would hold us back from getting stoudemire/bosh.
