    Man, are you kidding me? That would be a terrible deal. EG is 20 years old. 20. And you want to trade him. Look! I read your points on Rudy. I am starting to think that you have absolutely no patience. This team does not need to make any moves. They need some time. Relax and enjoy the ride.

    for

    Gooden/Giricek

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    PG - Francis/Mooch
    SG - Mobley/Giricek
    SF - Gooden/Rice

    You have never seen Boki play. He is a bigger, more athletic version of Giri. EG will be a better pro than Gooden. You guys are on record.

    We can only hope Nachbar becomes as good as Giri

    I agree - Boki will (optimist) be better than Gordan. Boki was more touted back in Europe and on draft day. But what do I know - Amare fell to #9 in the draft - Golden State pick Dunleavy ahead of him.

    Eddy has more tools (IMO) than Gooden - wind span, shot blocking ability, height, etc. Eddy's jump shot is light-years (hyperbole) behind Gooden's and Gooden is slighty more agreessive. I don't like Gooden's knack of pouting if not given enough minutes or shots - I hear this part of his persona help facilitate his exit from Memphis (who knows maybe it was delibrate).

    lol...there is no way in heck EG is better than Gooden or will ever be better than Gooden.

    What is EG waiting for to put up his 20 and 10's?

    Well EG is a whole year younger so I guess that is his excuse...:rolleyes:

    Ya, I guess your team is better also. Oh ya, I bet you think Miller is better than Giri and Gooden too!

    Memphis didn't need Griffin with Gasol already at the 4.That's why they traded Gooden for Miller. The Magic were also lucky to get Giricek.
