    Well, Harris was older. But check out Harris's stats as a rookie if you want to compare him with Batum (or Bayless, whom I bet a lot of teams were asking for). And I wouldn't have squealed too much at Outlaw going.

    Re: (Merged) Noon Pacific/Post Deadline Thread

    Batum's heart condition was cleared I believe. The rumors started about the time San Antonio worked him out but San Antonio wouldn't pass out his medical records to other teams and I believe Batum stopped work outs after that. San Antonio really wanted Batum and I believe Nicolas had anticipated going there as when he was drafted I recall him saying he had expected and wanted to go to San Antonio.

    That tells me that they made the right move by doing nothing other than getting another trade exception.

    and yet that same PG gets blasted by our coach saying he gets lost on defense and isn't ready to play.

    KP = Good at moving picks and drafting

    Trades? Not so much.

    This I will agree with because ESPN's basketball guys are pretty bad.

    We have to step back, check ourselves, and realize this is a long process. We all want to push ahead as quickly as possible, but also have to realize we are waaaay ahead of schedule still. No trade doesn’t give us the immediate boner we all want, but it isn’t our money that we all want to spend.

    Don't spoil the bridge jumpers with facts and common sense. We're supposed to be able to dump our crap and get All-Stars in return! It's a recession you know!

    moving picks. Raef was nothing...the flexibility we had with his contract....absolutely nothing. its fucking bullshit, same as trading for Steve Francis....we ain't gonna do shit with the imaginary cap space. its worth NOTHING.

    Lakers did it last year. Kwame for Pau. We had the same thing, but it was more attractive since insurance would have covered the salary.

    Nash was still the GM at the time. I remember when I sent an email to him regarding drafting Aldridge, it was Nash who responded back. The theory was that it was KP who was doing a lot of the work on buying picks and the like. Pritchards first draft pick was actually Oden.

    Just because it worked once for LA doesn't mean its foolproof every other time it's available.
