  1. I don't hate euro player its just some people worship the ground they walk on. And I have heard you say many times that Jeter is better that ARod because his hits and homeruns matter. Well what have the Euro players done to deserve your approval SAR? They haven't won squat. The thing that pisses me off is that people are stereotyping all europlayers as fundmental and great shooters. Well if I was able to judge American players by the percentage of Europlayers in the league then I could say all American players are great shooters. I will name all the euro players I can think of that are worth anything. Nowitzki, Stoackovich, Turkalou, Tasklidas, Krielinko, Kukoc, Gasol, Romanovich...and others. Now just taking these guys that is not enough players to make one team. We are judging these euro player from a small pool of players compared to Americans. If I take the top 20 Americans I would wager that their shooting percentages are just as good, and if not their scoring is. I will take any player on my team as long as they can play Euro, American, African, and what ever Tiger Woods claims he is. Lets not get caught up in the hype because we are looking at some of Europes best right here in the NBA. And if they aren't Europes best than I haven't seen any better from there and thats all I can judge from.
  2. I really don't understand how any quote un quote sports jounalist can actually think a backcourt of DD and JT could start and be sucessful? Aren't these guys supposed to be knowledgable in sports? When was the last time a backcourt of 6-0 and 6-2 one anything? I don't know the history of basketball all that well but I would wager to say it didn't happen much. I would love to email bradely and simply ask him how do we match up against Kobe, McGrady, Pierce, Allen and the list goes on. Now I am sure that JT would get his points vs. all these guys but how many will they score? 30..40 .. 50 maybe? Now lets just say JT is going to score 30 at best he cancels the other guy out and how often is that going to happen? I just don't understand how anyone who is supposed to be a knowledgable sports journalist can utter such garbage and believe it.
  3. What players does Europe have that we can't find a player here to beat or match HotLanta? I really hate this Euro player vs American player crap. The fact of the matter is that they are all pretty good, but Euro player IMO can not beat our top players from America. I am not saying they won't ever be better but there isn't one now that I have seen. Shaq, Kobe, McGrady,Garnett,Duncan(American IMO). Nowitzki is the only one that may be able to even compete. Stoacovich would get raped.
  4. Theo runs the floor very well. He probably only ways 210.
  5. I know he was a high draft pick 8 I think, but the cavaliers may be scared of a repeat of Illgalskus ( I cant spell that). So what would you think we would have to send them? Nazar and someone else? Maybe Hendu and someone/pick? The thing is he is just as much of a risk for us because to get him we will have to give up a proven player and hope he doesn't get hurt again, but It's a risk I am willing to take. Theo can mentor him and maybe they can share doctors LOL. We need a big boy to take over for Theo when his 2 years are up. I would like to steal him before he proves anything because when he does he will not be dealt.
  6. What about Segana Diop from last year? he is 7 foot 300 pounds. And I believe he was hurt most of his rookie year. If he could pass a physical I would try to get him away from the Caviliers because his trade value may be low from the injury.
  7. Maddux would have probably been selected but they know he has been hurt and he would most likely decline.
  8. Let me ask you something playa if you were going to buy a TV that cost $3000 dollars and the associate told you you get $125 back because you bought it on Tuesday would you complain? Would you say to the associate only $125 this is a bull$hit deal. I don't think you would. If you are going to buy the TV anyway what difference does it make how much money you get back? Now apply that to season tickets. That is as plain as it gets.

    heres an idea

    Question what do we do when we go play the Lakers and JT is matched up against Kobe? Or what do we do when we play Orlando and McGrady is sticking his nutz in JT's mouth? If either Jt or Dicku were bigger it would work, but they are not so lets stick our other lineup and play JT and Dicku in sperts together.
  10. Why do the Lakers always get good players for next to nothing? I am really starting to feel there is an conspiracy. How the hell do they get Rush. Is Toronto just trying to help them. You can forget about doubling Shaq or Kobe now because guess what "Jump Shooter in the house" like Stinger likes to say. Also I think Isiah Thomas is making Indiana's picks that explains Jones at 14. He reminds me a lot of Dan Reeves he is stubborn and he loves to pick players that remind him of himself. I am pretty shore his scouts didn't want him and if they did why not trade down?
  11. Hey Jay has Demarr really put on 15 pounds of muscle. Man He is going to be finishing strong next year if he has. I can't wait to see him dunk on Ming. I am glad he is in the wait room because thats what turned McGrady into the player he is today.
  12. The point is Playa that noone else in the league is offering any money at all if they suceed or fail. So the choice is between 125$ dollars and 0 dollars. Now it doesn't take Allen Greenspan to tell me to take the 125$. Rather you like the amount or not they are offering more than anyone else, so quit biatchin.
  13. Every time I try to change the color of my signature it makes it say its to long. Is there any way that change of color won't count as characters. I don't feel like I am using 100 charaters anyway whats up.
  14. I was almost sure we would trade up for woods when he fell way down neare the early 20's but no we got Dan. What suprised me most was the heights of most of these guys when they were drafted. I seen woods listed at 6-9 many times and I think he ended up being like 6-6, closer to 6-7 or something like that. Drew gooden was really like 6-8 after being listed as 6-10. I was really shoked at some of these heights. Are they without shoes?
  15. He is supposed to be small and slow a foot. One of the knocks on him is can he defend. They asked about his defense in one interview and I think he replied noone comes into the NBA as a good defender or somthing along those lines.
  16. I picked Borchardt going to Utah and thats who they ended up with. Just call me miss cleo. Did anyone else draft correctly for their team?
  17. I am alright with this trade as long as they don't try to start him. This time lets hope Babcock learned his lesson with this future first B.S. Next time we have a late first they should send it to SAC not when we have the 8th pick in the draft. I can see us giving up a high first again for the 29th pick. I am suprised he fell that far.
  18. I would of liked Jason Jennings a lot better where we picked or Grizzard. You would think with our team lacking size they would take the 7 footer who had 90 blocks 3.3 bpg instead of the David Anderson dude.
  19. Thats simply a horrible trade. For Tinsley to be effective he has to be surrounded by great shooters. Why do you think he tailed off so much once Jalen Rose left. Mercer and Croshere are not worth JT IMO. I really hate this one Diesel.
  20. So you are telling me when JT was averaging 20 ppg and 7 apg when they moved him to Pg he wasn, better at running the team than Maloney? I am sorry Diesel, but you are letting large media toy with your mind. The offense ran fine the second half of the season with JT at point. I know because I watched it with my own to eyes. I really wish people would quit trying to turn JT into John Stockton and let him play his own damn game.
  21. I think Gary will play out of it. This is one of his worst seasons ever. Isn't it funny how ex braves all ways play better when they leave? It makes you wander what kind of numbers Andrew Jones and Chipper Jones would put of if the left. Gary is a player. He has been injured, but by the time playoffs come around his bat will be alive and well and we will need it.
  22. I think Marcus Haslip will slip if not into the second then late first. I was interested in seeing him play so I wen to TN's site to see some video on him. Every highlight, I kid you not, on him was a dunk. While they were impressive dunks I think he is pretty skinny to play PF in the NBA and his offensive game and his size need to improve lots. I wouldn't be suprised if he slid. Was he invited to the Green room? He just seems like a major project to be projected so high to me.
  23. If you were going to trade JT why would you replace him with a WalMart JT? Hell you may as well keep JT if you are going to get Dicku because JT is and will always be better than Dicku. And both players are said to not be true pg's so why repeat the same " " Mistake? Babcock is trying to get Welsh or Salmons both I would be happy with because they can play 1-3. They are probably hoping one of the top SF fall.
