Why wouldn't you want Chauncey?

It's nothing against Chauncey. I like his game. He'll D up, take a big shot and gives you some swagger. However, I need Miami to get younger. They'd be better with someone who can be a legitimate #2 scoring option and add some frontcourt oomph rather than another star in the backcourt. I'd be happy with someone serviceable running the point (maybe getting Steve Blake to bring his ass back home).

I think he's more of a 3/4 than 2/3. Started a fair amount of games at power forward for the Bobcats last year.

He's a quality player. I don't want to see him on the Heat. Or any team in the Southeast Division.

 

[Mister J]

he's not a PG.. he's swing.. y'all got Wade already J

They need someone solid at the point, but it doesn't need to be a star. Wallace is about to peak, has a nice mid-range game, is a solid rebounder and Ds up. He slides into that 3 (maybe 4 is they go small) nicely, especially seeing as how either Posey and/or Kapono is likely going bye-bye. They need another consistent scoring option badly. The PG is definitely important, but with D-Wade back there and running the show in the crunch, going all out at another spot is more beneficial.

Haha I'm kidding.


I'm not worried about the Bobcats.

Kidding again. Kinda.

I did a writeup on Wallace for my blog. I have him as the Magic's second-best option. See if you can guess who the best one is, using the process of elimination:

• 5 - Vince Carter
• 4 - Chauncey Billups
• 3 - Mo Williams
• 2 - Gerald Wallace

Isn't the suspense killing you?

You want a point Guard? You wanna get younger? Well the Bulls need a C. How about Miami hand over Shaq, & The Bulls give up Capt. Kirk?

Hahaha, the Bulls get the overpaid centers tandem in Shaq and Wallace.

You laugh now, but if that happened. It would be like hitting the Brown note. Everyone would sh**!

If you hadn't shown us the list, and if Carter wasn't a large female genitalia, I mighta said him. Is it any off-season option, or just free agent? My guess if its any off-season option... Rashard Lewis!

 

[Ghostvirus]

Jason Kidd?

 

[Docker2.0]

Knicks will make the playoffs this year. Guarantee it!

Anyone remember me saying this? With the trade they just made it!
Sadly I think Isiah may trade Lee. I don't know why, I haven't heard anything but I just see Lee being gone by allstar break. I understand Frye cuase dude was kind of soft but don't trade Lee!

 

[L.A.]

Francis has only two seasons left on his contract, worth just over $34 million, but possesses the option to become a free agent after next season. The Blazers, however, are planning to buy out Francis' contract and make him a free agent this summer, sources said.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2919929

WTF all the blazers wanted was to buyout Francis contract to save money??? Blown opportunity for the Lakers!!! Could have sent Kwame Brown and lakers 1st round pick for Randolf!!!

Salaries don't match so the league wouldn't allow it.

Mamba!

Never!

It's only free agents.

Jason Kidd?

Nope.

Hint: his name starts with 'R' and ends with 'ashard Lewis'

 

[Jerry!]

to Chicago... for Gordon Deng and Noah!

Done.

Dude, Zach Randolph is going to get arrested for doing something stupid. He couldn't keep himself in check in ****ing Portland, of all places, so he absolutely can't control himself in New York. Further, there's no reason for he and Curry to play on the same team. They'll both have to start, and that means Lee will have to come off the bench, despite the fact that he was their best player last year. What the ****, Zeke? Seriously.

At least they dumped Francis. lol.

 

[Ghostvirus]

Done.

Not done.

I guessed him. But I've been kinda confused with his situation 'cause there was that one report about how his agent forgot to file paperwork (like T.O.), but I guess that didn't happen. He's restricted at least though, right?

 

[Jerry!]

Not done.

If Paxson wouldn't be a ***** and sign a decent forward after that deal it would work.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

Can somebody please move Kobe Bryant or KG, so we can stop hearing about these "trade" possibilities and rumors everytime I turn on ESPN!

I said it once and I'll say it again. Leave Kobe where he's at. He has three championship rings(thanks to Shaq), he wanted to be the big star that took all of the shots and he wanted to be the center of attention.

He got what he wanted and he should be made to stay in L.A. I feel no sympathy for him since he put himself in this situation. Kobe could be the greatest basketball player in the world if he set aside his ego and made his teammates better.

I don't want to hear about "Oh his teammates suck." Absolute crap if you ask me. This team took Phoenix to the limit and would've won the series if Kobe hadn't become a drama queen about shot selection.

 

[Jerry!]

They had no chance against the Suns. You want to talk about crap and you say the 3 championships were all thanks to Shaq.

 

[LastSunrise1981]

They had no chance against the Suns. You want to talk about crap and you say the 3 championships were all thanks to Shaq.

No chance against the Suns? Forgetting about the 3-1 deficit? Forgetting that when Kobe related to his teammates they played as a unit and WOULD'VE won if they played smarter.

In a running game no team stands a chance against the Suns. But when the Lakers put that half-court defense on them that forced the Suns to set their offense and not run, they had them in the palm of their hands and the Lakers choked.

Much like Dallas choked against Miami and Golden State, the Lakers choked against the Suns during the 2006 Playoffs. And yes, Kobe owes those three championship rings to Shaq.

 

[L.A.]

With the clips of drafting Al Thorton, Maggette is definetly gone!
