Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! Should be an 'interesting' group of personalities with Z-Bo, Baron and everyone's favorite, Ricky Davis. I feel sorry for Dunleavy... that is going to be some locker room to be in.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! And kind of funny how TNT ran an interview with D'Antoni on Inside the NBA, and John Thompson asked him of his group and he praised Crawford for being a potential 25 ppg scorer in this league, Zach's been working hard, and all this... and next day, they blow it all up.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! Yeah, D'Antoni specifically mentioned Crawford and Zbo as players that have been playing well in his sytem. Not any more Mike! Lol.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! Interesting, they blow it up to improve their chances at making a run for Lebron. But they do it by trading away the two guys that have been helping them win. Will Lebron really go to a shitty team in NY? No matter what the money is, I have a hard time thinking Lebron will go to another team so he can be a one man team like he is now.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! Ah, but if they are bad enough, they may have a high draft pick to go along with the rest of the rubbish. Gramps...
Re: Giving "Clip" a new meaning RE: Knicks trying to unload Zach. On the surface that is a huge surprise given his stats. I have to think there's another reason for this trade. Maybe it's his baggage or maybe NY is trying to obtain some shorter contracts and didn't see Zach in their future.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! it will be interesting to see what they do with lee now - try to get cheap young talent or picks for him now while they can, or wait and take a big chance that nobody makes him an offer they can't match.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! they are gonna have to work pretty hard if they want to out-tank the thunder
What't the over/under on when Dunleavy finally loses it and tries to kill someone with his clipboard. I say 3 weeks. Also, isn't it a real kick in the groin to be traded for Tim Thomas. I am not Z-Bo's biggest fan but damn.
I think it's a good idea for NY to blow up their team... BUT I don't think you can build a championship team through free agency and cap room like they're trying to do.. I'm surprised they didn't get any draft picks from the Warriors or Clippers. If anything, while it's obvious they're going after LeBron.. they need to put some players in place to make NY more attractive. And they should learn from the San Antonio model and what we've done.. and hire good scouts and build through the draft and youngsters who can play.
Funny thing, they actually have someone that is pretty decent as a draft talent evaluation expert on the payroll. It's a shame they made him the GM and coach to kill their team before.
Re: OT: zBO must GO [again]!!! Ooh. Interesting observation. Did not think of it - but it points to the possible availability of Mr. Westbrook in the trade market, no?
I disagree NBA players love playing on the biggest stage possible and NY, Chicago and LA will always atract great players. Portland and SA have to have good talent before a FA will sign with them. Even last year with Oden, Roy and LMA Kidd still didn't want to play for Portland.
