First Sheed, then ZBo, now Aldridge...

Is the only time a team can have an open window to a title when everyone one of it's players is 26-29, at their peak? It's that or nothing?

 

Yes. Let him also blow you away with his knowledge of relatively unknown young prospects in the league

 

Good players we could've gotten instead of Babbitt:

1 18 Eric Bledsoe PG United States Oklahoma City Thunder (from Miami,[d]traded to LA Clippers)[D] Kentucky (Fr.)
1 19 Avery Bradley SG/PG United States Boston Celtics Texas (Fr.)

1 27 Jordan Crawford SG United States New Jersey Nets (from Dallas,[h]traded to Atlanta)[F] Xavier (So.)
1 28 Greivis Vásquez

These guys would be great on our bench. Landry Fields was available in 2nd round.

 

Also all players must be born within 2 months of each other like all championship teams

 

I didn't even present a "plan". I explained why I thought trading Aldridge wasn't a bad idea. Window doesn't just include age and health.... it also includes contract. Maybe you didn't notice, but Aldridge is a UFA in two seasons. Think he wants to stay here when we're a losing shitty ass team? I certainly wouldn't.

How is this team going to magically get better? You like to talk about imaginary cap space, who are we going to add that makes us a championship contender this summer? Who will we draft with a low-end lotto pick that will make a difference? Outside the top 5, this draft sucks balls.

What's your "plan" Einstein? Let's see what you want to do so I can shoot holes in it like you love to do so much.

 

So hostile. Damn.
Aldridge expires in 3 years. So only 1 year more than Batum. Same amount as Wes. Does that also then screw up our timeline? If we're a losing shitty ass tyeam with the exact same roster as now with him, then he has every reason to want to leave. That just assume snobody will get better, and we sign nobody worth a damn.

 

Can I borrow the Delorean?

2 years in NBA speak is eternity. There's so much that can happen in that time. 2 years ago Roy was our future. If Aldridge expresses a desire to not resign then we can move him. At the moment that's hypothetical, as is calling us a losing shitty ass team two years into the future.

 

I noticed you defend Aldridge in various threads. What is it about Aldridge that you like so much?

 

Let lillard develop and get more comfortable with the game. He is a franchise point guard and its not going to take him long to get there. He will be the alpha dog and Aldridge can be the second option not a bad situation

Leonard will improve as well. Probably not as a starter but he will get his

Assemble bench and fill holes in with smart veterans that are available

I'd like to get a center that would allow Hickson to come off the bench and maybe an upgrade at the two guard to get Matthews on the bench or have a backup two guard and keep Matthews in the starting rotation. Hickson would be great in the second unit to provide scoring and rebounding.

These are doable moves right now...

 

Two years. I'm not counting this season.

He's a free agent before the 2015 season.

 

Sorry, sure. Not counting this season him and wes have 2 years left, and Batum only 3. trade them all. There's an 8th grader somewhere that might be able to open a window for us.

 

I'm just curious how exactly a window timeline works.

 

We can trade him for someone that isn't born yet (imaginary player)

 

Chris Paul and Blake griffin will never work they are not in the same window. ZOMB!!!!!!!

Time to trade cp3 for unknown point guards and draft picks ASAP!!!!!!!


(!!!!!!!!)

 

They should have never added Paul, Bledsoe fit the window better.

 

No shit. And they could have had draft picks.



I mean.....


DRAFT PICKS!!!!!!!!!

 

For the record -- I was a huge Z-Bo fan.

The only reason why I didn't care all that much when he was traded was because of the arrival of a (then) healthy Greg Oden.

 

Considering CP3 is a free agent this summer, and only has one good leg...... no he really doesn't fit Blake's window.

 

You guys wonder why people get hostile, but SlyPokerDog is a snarky prick.

 

wow, nice personal attack from a mod. nice conversation. You get upset people don't like your idea, they joke about it, you call them pricks. LOL. Seriously, how do windows work? Do all players have to be the same age? Can there be an outlier? Why don't all teams do this?
