Look I know some of you dont like my [insert player] is cursed and brings teams down. But I hate to see the prophecy come true. We not only need to get of that forward, We need to get RID OF ALL OUR FORWARDS (Jim Jackson really is a shooting guard). Look at Seatle's forwards: Danny Fortson V. Radmonovic Not 'big name' forwards that we have. However they are specialist. Radmonivic can shoot, Fortson can board. Both are young players also. Our forwards specialize in nothing. Ball hoggin, smoking, and getting paid for sitting on the bench. Sure we need a PG, but that wont solve all of our problems. None of our Fs can guard the West's Fs. We are lacking athleticism and depth at the F position. The F now stands for something else.
Look, the point is they are getting production from their forwards and their forwards (not Rashard) know their roles and play it well. What is [insert Michigan PF ] Role? What is [insert Michigan PF] Role? What is [insert S. Miss PF] Role? This is terrible. I'm thinking that Knicks tandom of Tim Thomas and Kurt Thomas are much better than our Fs. This is horrible, makes me yearn for Buck Johnson.
I would love to dump Waetherspoon, Taylor, and Howard- more than 18mil per year spent on these 3. More than a Max contract. Who would want them - the salaries would not match anything but other horrible contracts... We are stuck because someone made decisions to sign these guys long term-at least spoon comes off the books in 2 years...
I'll keep padge. The rest... Hey! I've posted this before! Here's a couple of possibilities : current favorites : Howard and Boki to Utah for Harpring and Lopez Taylor to New Jersey for Zo and Aaron Williams old reliables : Taylor and JJ or Boki to Seattle for Radman and Antonio Daniels Howard to Chicago for Chandler Howard and Taylor to Chicago for Antonio Davis Taylor and whatever to NY for Kurt Thomas and Moochie All these can use the 5.5 trade exception as sweetener, in a seperate deal for someone the other team wants to dump, or picks. I don't really care what good qualities our guys have - they don't work with Yao. Yao needs a rebounding partner at the 4, preferably a smart one that can handle his own defensive assignment and hit a jumper. At the 3 we need shooting, size, defense, brains and passing. Boki has a death warrent so we may as well include him in any trade. If he plays well - we can't keep him, if he plays poorly, we won't. May as well trade him at the deadline. JJ looks absolutely horrible this year. He's not getting any better. We know the problems with Howard, Taylor, the Spoon. I think the best way to handle this situation is to trade for other distress situations and try to trade big for small. There we might have a chance. Other teams have disgrunts and Boki's, too. We just have to find a match.
