Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Great info! For the love of God, if Batum is the deal breaker trade him... If we could trade Raef, Sergio and Nic for only Wallace? IDK if it works salary wise but that would be badass.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? I love KP wanting a 2011 1st round pick before we would take VC. That is what I want to hear and fuck Thorn. I don't think KP even wants VC but I guess he would take him if we could get a sweetheart deal with him. I would be let down if we didn't make a trade but better then taking on a huge bad contract on a old player that really won't help us past probably next year.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? What was a deal breaker yesterday... might not be a deal breaker today.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? I would hate to lose Batum but I would still probably do this deal if we couldn't get anything better. If we did this trade we would have Wallace as our SF and still keep Outlaw as our backup PF if he was included in the trade.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Sergio makes no sense for Charlotte. Unless they are trading one of their other PG's
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? NO! Batum stays. Last couple of weeks, Nate has figured out Batum one-on-one skills are so good he's capable of guarding penetration-threat PGs. Nate Robinson was going off on us in the 2nd half of the Knicks game until Nate switched Batum to cover him. Batum got KryptoNate under control, and Batum stayed in the line-up until :30 secs left in the game.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Maybe and I'm not sure his D is better but it is close. I would still really think about including Batum for Wallace if we didn't have to give up much else except RLEC.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Wallace is way better on D. Batum gets a block every now and then on someone he isn't guarding... but Wallace is a beast.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? I am no homer, but I don't think I would trade Batum either. There is a reason all teams want him. Talk about the perfect guy to learn behind.....Wallace would be the ideal mentor for young Nic. I find myself chuckling thinking about KP trying to "convince" the Bob's to take Travis who scores twice as much and can play 2 possitions. The Bob's saying no because they have seen him "try" to play defense.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Who would have thought immediately after preseason that we'd be saying we wouldn't be willing to trade Batum for Gerald Wallace because Batum is too good The NBA is great theater sometimes.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? They want a SF back, they can have Catfish. Granted, Wallace is a little better defender right now, but Batum is NINETEEN. You flat out do not trade 19 year old players who's defensive skill set is in the same conversation as players like Crash.
Re: HoopsWorld Morning Report - Moving Wallace/VC? Forget the pick, and force them to take back Channing Frye. This trades are a golden opportunity for KP to get the horrible players that Nate insists on playing, out of the rotation, while at the same time avoiding the conflict of "telling him how to coach". That's one of the reasons we had to trade Maglorie and Jarrett Jack.
