I also think Ferry is trying to get a deal done without including Al or Josh..If he were offering Al, Teague and picks it would seem like too much of a nobrainer for Orlando to turn down compared to what we know the Nets were offering..

Hey guys..I have not posted here in ages but have always followed the debates here..I have watched this team go through years of being somewhere in between a 3 or 4 seed to being awful, rebuilding and then being back to a 3 or 4 seed again..The Dominique years, the Mutumbo, Mookie, Smith and Laettner years..Then watched Babcock tear it down, watched BK have poor luck in the lottery. and when he had good luck he drafted the wrong guy..The Sund did his best Babcock impression and brought us back to a 4/5 seed with no chance to ever win it all..Ferry has finally given us a chance..Make the trade..Give up Horf, Teague and a pick or 2..If Howard comes here and likes it great..We will have a chance to win..If Howard comes here bitching and moaning, we can either sign and trade him for the likes of Lopez(who is not bad) and others, or force him to sign without a deal leaving us in a spot to sign at least 2 max contract guys(maybe Paul and Bynum?)..A guy like Paul might like to come here with a blank slate and be able to build his own team and a guy like Bynum might follow..Re sign Smoove or sign and trade Smoove for another star and we have our own mini superteam..Roll the dice

I find it hard to be anything but positive on a 5-0 team but there are a few things that have jumped out at me. Our interior offense and defense seem to be weakness thus far. We rebound the ball very well but we have no one outside of a glimpse from Morris that shows a hint of a real post game. Solo rebounds well and blocks a few shots but still gets pushed around by stronger players. Horford is totally disconnected on the offensive end. Hopefully Woody can use a combination of players to get a little more production inside. I would like to see more of Morris along with Horford at the 4 and see how that combo plays out. I think the free throw shooting will work itself out.

No one would trade anything for Gardner. He is struggling just to make a team and there are dozens of guys just like him available to anyone.

I thought it was pretty good but like all original super-hero movies it spends alot of time on the origin and less time on the plot. It always seems to me the follow up movies are more entertaining after all the origin stuff is established. I have heard alot of rumors about future Ironman/Hulk/Spiderman/Captain America combination movies. Those could be pretty entertaining. On the DC comic side I have heard whispers about a future Superman/Batman combo movie. I remember when I was a kid and my brother and I rushed to buy the Superman vs. Spiderman series that DC and Marvel did together. Those were great. And Yes, I am dork.

Bibby has been very durable until last season. He only has a strain so why take any chances on making it worse for a preseason game?

8000 was the number I was waiting on also. I think the bottom has been hit.

Diesel is right about gold. If you invest 100 dollars in gold in 10 years you still have 100 dollars. Over time the stock market ALWAYS makes money. What you have to do is learn to be patient and ignor short term gains or loses.

Yeah I know its an inexact science but I have heard 8000 from alot of people I know and respect as their jumping in point. When its hits I expect the market to jump back up very quickly and balance itself out between 9500 and 10500 untill after the elections.

Wait till it bottoms out which should be somewhere between 8000 and 8500 on the Dow Jones. It should hit that mark either tomorrow or Monday. Then buy back in and and watch it climb. All the investors I know, including me, have been looking for the 8000 mark as the bottom.

Come on Diesel. Smoove averages 17/8 and Marvin averages 15/6. Smoove blocks more shots but Marvin plays a little better man on man defense. Smoove plays the 4 so he should average a couple extra rebounds a game. Marvin shoots foulshots better and the both suck beyond the 3 but at least Marvin doesn't hoist them up everygame. Smoove averages almost double the turnovers of Marvin and takes 2 more shots per game. Both guys are young and inconsistant as hell. Are you telling me that 2 points per game makes Marvin mediocre and Smoove a star? Where are the facts to suppport your claim?

Thanks man

Hey Dolph, any chance you can remove this? My kid reads the board and he nearly opened it. Thanks

He had donated over 150 million dollars to make the world a better place. He was a fine actor and a great man. RIP

The honeymoon won't last long with his current play. I hope the money was worth the pounding he is going to take if he doesn't improve quickly. Chillz game just doesn't fit the euro style of play. I really can't understand how they ever thought it was going to be a good fit.
