  1. Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Marvin Williams, and Zaza?

    Many people on this board are more knowledgeable about NBA contracts than me...If I'm not mistaken JS and JC both have 1 more year on their contracts, while Marvin has 2 more? Didn't we sign Zaza to a 3 year contract which would leave him 1 more after this year?

    I hope we can keep together the core of JJ, JS, JC, and MW...They work so well together...

    Right now we're closer to the 8th spot than we are in position to get a top 3 pick.

    Yet the real "fans" of this team are still persistent with this stupid tanking theory.

    It's completely pointless because there is no way in hell our players would agree to this.

    And if we did suck that much they might not want to re-sign which doesn't exactly help us.

    I personally believe if we can just stay healthy we have a legit shot at the 8th spot.

    We just have to survive the month of February. March and April are a lot friendlier on paper.


    Great post BusBoy...Tanking is a fu**ing ridiculous concept anyways...I'm embarassed that our fans are even discussing this.

    Please go support another team. Anyone who wants to tank is a disgrace.


    the team was looking pretty bad before Smoove and Marvin hit their stride. even with them playing well as of this second the team is in no man's land. they'll need to continue this hot streak to get out of the bottom 10.


    Honestly, what the hell is the point in being a "fan" of a team if you are actually cheering for them to LOSE.

    I think by definition, that actually makes you NOT a fan.

    What an incredibly stupid concept.

  4. Name ANY team in the league that could play near .500 ball while losing their BEST player, and their 3rd best player (I consider JJ our best overall player, and Chillz our 3rd best overall player...considering all things).

    Everyone wants to blame Woodson, or whoever else...THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME...this is a very young inexperienced team, what the heck did you expect without JJ and Chillz?

    We are just as bad as the Heat without Wade and Shaq...just as bad as the Suns would be without Nash and Stoudamire...just as bad as the Mavericks without Dirk and Josh Howard...just as bad as the Cavs would be without James and Gooden.

    The truth of the NBA is that a lot of teams are built around ONE player, and if that player goes down, they are screwed (Heat, Cavs, Wizards, Lakers,)

    I think people here are overreacting and putting the blame in the wrong places, if you're going to blame it on anything, blame it on bad luck.

    Chill out guys, when we get JJ and Chillz back, we will get back to playing about .500 basketball, which is all that we could realistically expect out of the team this year.

  5. Why wouldn't we in "anything of importance" with Shelden at PF?

    Lots of teams have won championships with offensively challenged PF's.

    Think of the lakers from 2000-2002.

    Also, the Bulls won 3 championships with Rodman just playing defense and rebounding from the PF position...Shelden certainly has more offense than Rodman...He CAN develop into that good of a defensive player.

    That's just in my recent memory wink.gif
