another attempt to get Diener

[coloradosun]

Jim Jackson
Bryan Grant
Pat Burke
2nd rounder or 2

for

Travis Diener
Tony Battie

Dooling has been out and Diener still has only been in 3 games. Battie is in his last year of a contract as is Jackson, Grant (team option) and Burke (team option).

Jim Jackson couldn't be traded for a lump of coal atm.

here is a quistion why would we want to do this? i understand that you like this player but this guy has gotten 3 game with 18 minutes for a total of 55 and only gotten 2 assist. everyone thinks that barbosa isnt a point and he does better then that.

 

[boisesuns]

Maybe if we could get Deiner, Lonnie Jones, and Wilcox no more trade scenarios will come up?

 

[Chaplin]

Please. Diener has only been in 3 games for a team that is far worse than us. Will he help us? Not anymore than what we already have. Burke probably produces more now that Diener could.

You know, it seems to me this past off season we acquired a player who played very limited minutes on a horrible team, but he worked out all right for us.

Boris wasn't a rookie and there was no question about his skills. Diener was good in college, but that's all that can be said of him. At least Boris still has International pro experience. And point guards grow on trees in the NBA.

Maybe, but certainly not good ones.

Case in point through this young season, Travis Diener, who has played in only 3 games.

Why in the hell would ORL consider this deal?

Battie is a better player than Burke, other involved players don't matter.
