Quote: Wouldn't touch it Walter. We need Shelden regardless if he was worth the #5 pick or not. If BK and Woody thought AI could fit here than I'd be ok with Al/Lue/Chill but not + Shelden. I agree 110 percent

Quote: yup i've stated time and time again a) diaw was one of my favorite hawks players (i had hope that he'd shoot one day) b) i wanted to trade diaw last spring/summer for ANYTHING that we could get (even a late 2nd) BECAUSE of the fact that he was NOT going to re-sign here when his contract was up; in fact, he was contemplating returning to France before his contract was up so as much as i liked him, i knew he'd never make it as a hawk and never wanna remain a hawk, thus ANY trade we could do was ok with me; so getting JJ was amazing to me and I look at the trade as only having our 1st as the downside if we had LEBRON right now and we knew he would NOT return to our team after this year, then I'd be ok with trading him, even tho otherwise he's the best player to have to start your franchise; u can't use situations that WON'T occur in your analysis diaw was NOT gonna remain a hawk and was NOT gonna become a breakout star as a hawk, so that situation does not apply; him not being traded = leaving this summer; him being traded = jj which is better? it doesn't matter how good he does since him staying here was NOT an option Since you can predict the future without any evidence, can you give me tommorrows loto numbers? or if what you say is true, maybe we should get a coach who knows who to use talent of all sorts instead of giving away a potential all star

why would you trade sosa for ray king? thats dumb

Myself and a few others have created a madden/ncaa site with forums.tips,guides,etc check it out: www.themaddenlab.com

Roy would be a bad pick for us. Best case, he is jj but not as good. we already have that. foye would have been good but it is always hard to get bigs in FA and we got a PG so I am happy so far.

I'm glad you had to resort to calling me a homer since you have nothing of importance to say. By the way, if you may notice I have never talked Sheldon up on these boards, I am just saying it is funny sitting here watching two idiots trash a player based on two summer league games they did not even watch. For the record, I wanted either Foye or Sheldon based on who was left to pick from.

Quote: judge? Time to take the rose colored glasses off, stats can tell you alot about performance. 6 and 3 7 fouls, look like stats from a role player, not from that of a 4 year senior who was a top 5 pick in the draft. Answer this for me. Did you watch either of these games? No. Now answer this for me. Did you watch Sheldon dominate Lamarcus?

Quote: It's just kind of funny how the players "expected" to be good are dominating. Roy, Foye, Morrison, yet here we have Sheldon Williams who we took as a top 5 pick and he looks anything but dominating. I think TexasPete has every reason to be pissed and distraught with Sheldon Williams. I can't help but laugh at people who think they can judge a player's performance based soley off box scores from summer league games.

lol i dont know if you thought that paragraph you quoted was directed towards you but it wasnt. the next paragraph was in response to you asking for links.

Quote: Quote: Edwards is terrible, but I like Esteban. What's wrong with him? He is playing in FIBA and kicked butts scoring 29 points 15 rebounds against Colombia. His name still shows up on the roster list. I know where he is, I was responding to hotlanta who said he sucked.

Do you know anything about basketball texas pete? Summer league games are very un organized. Hardly any set plays, it is basically a motion offense. That is why guards and wings dominate the ball. If you cannot understand something that simple, go get your knowledge up before you bash players.I have not watched the games so I am not going to talk him up, but it is retarted to bash a guy based off two summer league games. Jwest, what do I need links for? Sheldon put up 20/10 both time he playe May his JR year, played solid aganist Okafor in the Semi's his soph year, and owned LA this year. Anyone who watches college basketball knows this. No links are needed.

Edwards is terrible, but I like Esteban. What's wrong with him?

Plllllllease. Summer league games are made for guards and wings. I think I will take sheldon beating up okafor,la,may,etc over the years over 2 summer league games.

oh and if our bullpen didn't blow so many saves, we would be right there with the Mets. I think we blown almost 20 saves by now lol. If we tonight, we would be within 11 right?

I don't even care about the wild card. I just want to see them keep the division title streak going. Prolly won't happen I know. As long as they keep winning series and get a sweep here and there, things will take care of themselves.

Quote: I would take Bynum in a heartbeat. I haven't seen much of him and don't know how good he will be but it would definitely be worth it. LOL I'm not sure what you mean.....

I don't know why people don't want Ty Thomas. He is not going to be a perimeter player in the NBA. He will be a post player and provide post defense which we need.

diesel just stop. you are making yourself look more foolish than i thought was possible

Quote: Quote: Diaw way end up being the better play in the long run. This statement is completely absurd I think it is obvious but I meant to type "may" instead of "way" While I am not saying it is destined to happen, for you to dismiss the possibility of it occuring is absurd.

where are all the people who said diaw would fade in the playoffs? all he has done is put up close to triple double numbers. of course, a guy who has no holes in his game and is taking it to brand and LO offensivley has no spot on our team! Again, I love JJ, but terrible trade. Diaw way end up being the better play in the long run. Then you consider the 2 first round picks and the salaries of the players and we look foolish

Williams runs faster at 6 foot 2 215. what is your point? those draft experts are the same people who thought leaf was better than manning.

LMAO!!!! These posts by diesel are so over the top its hilarious. But seriously, when was the last time there was a thread over 5 posts and diesel wasnt fighting with someone?

lmao allen is in no way better than any of those guys. typical homerism

for every dirk, theres 100 niki tikilozhis ( guy from denver now on suns i believe)
