Kobe had a reputation for causing trouble with Shaq, with his coach, and didn't trust his teammates. He changed. You have failed do defend your point...
There were people in Orlando threatening to kill for that piece of "trash" of Tmac as you put it. Do you say Francis+Mobley+Cato are worse than trash, like poison. It is amazing none of those people are in the league anymore. Yeah we gave up poison for trash, we still won. Oh never mind Tmac was defending scoring champ when we picked him up. Scola a trash. Spurs are eager to take that "trash" back. Artest, don't play loose your trash standard, he wasn't unwanted by any team. We gave up some first round picks for him.
Not to mention he threw all his teammates under the bus and demanded Andrew Bynum get traded while demanding himself to be traded to the Bulls.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he meant their previous teams thought they all sucked, which, as I stated, in Scola's wasn't the case. Educate yourself OP : http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/nba/Think_they_could_use_him_Scola_trade_becomes_a_facial.html Excerpt from the above : “It kills me to have him on that team,” Popovich said. “Enough to make you spit.”
Yeah I figured what he meant just giving him a hard time. But yeah calling Scola and T-mac in Orlando trash loses instant credibility. Calling Wafer trash is pathetic too considering he is a big reason we are where we are right now in the standings. Even calling Rafer trash is going to far. Artest is far from trash,he has bad shot selection but teams would kill to have him on their team. I guess the OP wants Chris Paul,Kobe Bryant,Lebron James, and Tim Duncan playing next to Yao.
Sorry, but I've had it with posters that don't know what they are talking about, so no more being nice. Your post is absolutely stupid- and wrong, BTW. Calling Scola trash by itself gets you nominated for the Moron Hall of Fame. The following quote from A Fish Called Wanda suits you perfectly: "To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people." You have no earthly idea how the NBA player transaction system works, so until you do, please stop posting your ignorant nonsense and save yourself from the embarrassment you richly deserve this evening.
So basically what you're saying that RA should be the coach of the year last year by getting all these trash without Yao for a long period of time to the playoffs. Or that he should get COY this year by getting to 50 wins with the trashs on this team?
This is definite "worst thread ever" type material. If the OP is dead serious he should not only be demoted but never allowed to watch another game of basketball again.
Noob posters if you want to know what trash is Kwame Brown was trash, Sam Bowie was trash, Ryan Bowen is trash. ehhhhh...... so much stupid noob posters now
Kwame Brown is not a trash, he is just seriously over rated by MJ. Sam Bowie is not a trash, he is just plain bad luck with injuries ala Greg Oden. Ryan Bowen is well.... a hard working player that i will not call trash, but a rather limited player. Trash are like that dumb rookie from the celts.
HAHA! Lets look at the past championship team with your ideology. Rondo: Trash because Suns didn't want him and traded him the day he got drafted! KG: Trash because Minnesota didn't wanted him. Ray Allen: Trash because Seattle didn't wanted him. Come on now... Tracy was GREAT at Orlando, though he had some issues that wanted me not to trade for him. (Like admitting that he quitted during the season)... But nowhere near, was he trash in Orlando.
Some of these posters should just get IP bans. Honestly, the amount of ignorant threads are getting out of hand.
Completely disagree that the players mentioned are "trash", however the brilliance of Morey is identifying talent that is undervalued by other teams. By undervalued I mean both what another team wants for them in a trade and also what they are being paid.
