    What Will It Take to Beat the Spurs Next Season?

    I agree. We don't need new or different stars...our 3 "stars" matched up favorably with theirs: (Playoff stats) Duncan: .541%-11.7 reb-23.3pts-3.53blk-0.53stls Amare: .523%-12.1 reb-25.3pts-1.9blk-1.9stls Parker: .452%-2.8reb-19.7pts-0.0blks-1.27stls-6.5 assists Nash...

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    While Garnett is certainly a great rebounder...to suggest that Amare can't rebound is ridiculous... ...he's currently the 5th best rebounder in the playoffs at 12.1 per game...above Tim Duncan whose averaging 11.9.

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    I agree...but value is set by the market...if McHale does nothing, he pays $22mil this year (a whopping hit)...only to lose Garnett next year for nothing. That would indeed be a huge downside...(before the lotto I was hoping for Brewer to fill that role with pick #5)... :(

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    I agree with that point...but I still don't deal Amare. Who are we bidding against? What other team has the assets to make a deal? If you want to offer Marion, KT and picks? I'd do it...but I'd keep the NBA first teamer. The most The Lakers could offer would be Odom and Kwame...and Minnesota...

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    Barbosa and Diaw were the ones who didn't produce...just about everyone else did. I think Barbosa improves and does a better job in next year's playoffs...Diaw I'm not sure about. Is he now content with his $9mil per year deal? Will he always be passive? I have to think that a guy capable of a...

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    I'm not blaming the loss entirely on the suspensions...I give the Spurs credit...their wiley vets found a way to get it done (albeit a little dirty). We had plenty of chances to win though: 1. If Nash doesn't sit out the final part of the game with a nose bleed...we may have had a chance. 2...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    But still enough to absorb Diaw's deal. It would be a fit if Iavaroni became their coach....Cardinal really isn't a wing (he's a big who can shoot from the outside)...and Miller would be gone in the deal...Diaw would be the only one who could play the 2-5 positions...even the 1 in a pinch...

    Why is everyone selling out Amare?

    ? We already have the chance to win now. In my opinion we were one play away from advancing. If we have Amare, we win game 5...and I like our chances in game 7 at home. Even with the suspensions...if Barbosa simply plays like he did the regular season, we win the series (he went an unheard...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    That's why I suggested trading Diaw to Memphis. 1. Works especially well if Iavaroni goes to Memphis because he still likes Diaw's talent, distributing skills, and matchup problems he can create...and it's doubtful they would go after Lewis with Gasol on their roster. 2. Stromile Swift and...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    Which only means that the Suns can only take back 1/2 of Diaw's $9mil deal... ...not a problem if the trading team is under the cap enough to absorb the difference. ...or if a third team under the cap is involved... ...or if the total amount of salaries involved still satisfies the 125% +...

    PHO/MEM proposal

    Amare's opt out is after the 2009-2010 season.

    PHO/BOS proposal

    The point is that for this team to win a championship, it HAS to be impatient. Nash simply doesn't have that many years left at a championship level. Draft picks are fine... ...but look at the high draft picks of recent years that still haven't turned into decent contributors: Thomas...

    Next Year and Boris

    If one has to go between Marion, Stoudemire, or Diaw... ...Diaw is the obvious choice. He definately has talent...but he lacks drive...sometimes the lane is wide open for a dunk...and he instead passes....and the shot clock buzzer sounds... ...5 plays later he makes an impressive move to the...

    PHO/BOS proposal

    That...and he really has confidence issues...partly due to injury...part due to confidence...part due to Spurs defense... ...I think he gets better every year, which is why I'd like to keep him. Boris needs to go though. He could be dominating...but it seems he has the Sam Perkins lack of fire...

    PHO/BOS proposal

    We don't need a massive upgrade in quality...just spare parts that fit our system a little better than the parts we have. Miller could be had...and he's a guy who can score 18-25 when he has to...Diaw can't. He's a 6'9" 235 player who runs like the wind and blocks shots. He's not a good fit on...

    PHO/BOS proposal

    If you are going to propose a trade, why give up the guys that actually work? The following are the stats gainst San Antonio: Amare: A beast with .500% from the field, .813% from the line, 10.6 reb per game, 2 blocks per game and 26.4 ppg. Nash: .520% from 3 pt range, 12.7 assists, 21.3 ppg...

    I don't think either one is an answer at PG...they both are stopgaps.

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    Miller can handle the ball, he averages almost as many assists as Diaw (he played spot duty at the point)...and he's a lights out shooter from 3 point range in the 4th quarter. I'm not too concerned with injuries...over the past three years he missed 26 games. During that same time period KT...

    The Official Trade Idea Thread

    Banks isn't an asset...to dump his salary you'd need to do a deal like: Banks + #29 to Charlotte for nothing (salary dump). Charlotte has done that before for draft picks. You could also get rid of Banks by including him in a deal for a player someone really covets (like Marion).

    And it comes full circle... ...except with the Suns...where it stops 359 degrees of justice...and falls 1 degree short.

    I agree...do the deal before someone changes their mind... ...btw...I'm selling pics of the goat cheap....

    I'm right there with ya buddy... ...if that was the trade offer I'd bite my thumb and sign the thing in blood before anyone had a chance to change their minds...

    I can't stand the NBA!!

    Lighten up... ...it's a message board...and people are simply posting their opinions... ...I don't think the NBA is "fixed" either...but I do think that Stern is directing the League to be more physical...which isn't entertaining.

    There Is No "Curse"

    High draft picks in the hands of idiots don't guarantee success (like ATL and LAC)...high draft picks in the hands of someone who knows how to use them? Priceless. Trust me...Portland will be a powerhouse for the next 10 years. Why? Because they got lucky with the ping pong balls. If you get...
