Johnnybravo4 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 None of those guys except Magloire..I think the list is more like Magloire Dalembert Ilgauskis Wilcox I don't know where all this Chris Mihm garbage comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexhawk Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I am starting to think that it is stromile swift because of his prior relationship with Billy Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Dalembert or Z on our list. I don't get the impression we are going after a big salary, long-term deal kind of guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Memphis just made a trade to get Swift back. And he is too similar to Josh Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Also, Bernie said a good big man, which rules out Dalembert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted July 28, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I think we're getting Carlos Boozer. Utah has been shopping him and his big contract to anybody who would take him. I think we send Lue to Utah, he's ours... He's a big who can run the floor and can score. Plus he's 6'8. BK has to like that. He's got 4 years left on his deal.... People will look at him and say.. " Yeah.. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted July 28, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Boozer? Why would we trade for him? He can't play center and we already have Smith/Shellhead for PF minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the only rationale to open up cap space instead of taking back players from Indiana. The only rationale for netting 4M in cash and a first round pick instead of taking back a backup C and overpaid PG from Indiana is to put that money into a long-term, expensive center whose teams would like to give them away due to their underperforming? I will respectfully disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 It depends on your perspective. If you think that Dalembert or Magloire is pivotal to your long term success then you make the deal. There is no use to sitting on 12 million in capspace if you are not going to use it. We are not an expansion team. You also can't convince the fanbase that you are serious about winning if you don't get back a known quantity in return for Al Harrington. If you get back Magloire you can spin in your press conf. He is a top flight All Star center that will shore up our front line. If you get Dalembert you can say We have found in Dalembert a good young center who is a defensive presence (then throw out the last in points in the paint figure) It is much better than bringing back nothing or trotting out Chris Mihms of the world.

Moderators AHF Posted July 28, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Quote: It depends on your perspective. That is my point. I can totally see picking up a long-term big $$ player like Dalembert being the reason for the trade. That makes sense. However, there are a lot of other scenarios that makes sense "depending on your perspective" that don't involve an acquisition like that. My point is that acquiring someone like Dalembert or Z is far from the "only rationale" for the Indy trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final_quest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 The first guy that I think is a decent probability is Melvin Ely. Has been in the league 4 yrs. We were looking to acquire a young big man. I really believe that Bernie is not saying we are acquiring anything more than a good backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJlaysitup Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Somebody we will recognize....could be Luke S. from GA Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_quest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Lord, I hope not. I take his comments quite loosely. You could argue that fans will recognize Melvin Ely because he plays in our division and has done a decent job with Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
