    I guess he was important enough that our superstar MVP player wanted the guy? :dunno: And hey, it's the slow time of the year. What else is there to talk about?

    exactly... dude blocked 3.6 shots per 36 minutes last season. I'd be blown away if the GSW were to trade him for yet another SF let alone Travis.

    With that I'll agree.

    It's just funny to me that many of the same people on here that slag our own players off all season long are all of the sudden interested in Ronny Fucking Turiaf.

    He's a better fit to backup the 4 than anyone else on our team.

    Travis isn't a SF, he is a PF. Tyrus Thomas with 3pt range (and fewer boards) and a higher Bball IQ. See, it is all in the marketing. :devilwink:

    Golden State is known for their defense. I thought people complained about weakside defenders not rotating to open shooters in the Houston series?

    What about Leon Powe? Is he a system guy or would he slide in easily here with our crew?

    Are you kidding me? GS known for defense? You must be joking, or stupid.

    Jeff Foster is a really good rebounder.

    Oh, and I will pass on Ronny. But in Roy I trust.

    I'd disagree. Dude plays the wing on offense, not the high or low post... on D he's matched up on a variety of players from Kobe to Brad Miller but very rarely low post players as he lacks the bulk to bang. But regardless, with Anthony Randolph and Brandon Wright at PF, the W's aren't needing there either... I see no reason for them to move one of their two true Bigs.

    No, no a thousand times no.

    Joel, by himself, is worth more then both that pile of shit Z-Bo AND an unproven rookie. I may not be either Blake's or Outlaw's biggest fan, but at least they try sometimes.

    If Portland made this deal, I would demand a refund on my season tickets.

    Personal attack aside, I was being sarcastic. Turiaf had many opportunities to block shots due to the Warriors style of play.
