    My prediction is that Tony Parker will be a Trail Blazer by the end of the day. IN KP I TRUST!

    It doesn't matter what KP does. He's gone. I wish him nothing but the best and thank him for making me proud of this team again.

    Serious? Every GM in the league would take Batum over Peja. Peja is almost worthless at this stage of his career.
    West and Aldridge are debatable, but I think Aldridge is better and has more potential than West. I think 80% of GM's would agree.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yes, I'm sure all those non-homer GMs out there would trade Batum and Oden for Peja and Okafor (even not considering contracts).

    Goodness.

    Give Batum 31 MPG like Peja not only does he have better stats.. he plays defense, and shoots a better %.. I'm sorry but for real? Peja > Batum? That one has me laughing big time.. almost as big of a blunder as the AMMO thread rebirth a couple months ago.

    It's almost humorous... But, a lot of people always think the backup QB is better.

    Of course they would take Batum. He's younger and will be a lot better in a few years. Right now though, I think Peja is better.

    Also, 80% of GM's would take Aldridge over 2 time all-star David West?

    When Nate can show he can out coach anyone in the playoffs, I will let up.

    How are you enjoying that brand new operating system Microsoft just got out, what is it called? Windows 2000?

    Just so you know, Peja who is supposed to be a shooter shot 40% and 39% from three. That's ignoring his defense. Batum is a better shooter overall by 12% (52%), and the same from three.

    Batum shoots 52% (compared to Peja's 40%), shoots 40% on threes (compared to Peja's 37%), outrebounds Peja, scores two points less, has nearly as many assists per game, blocks more, steals as much, in seven minutes less a game while providing significantly better defense.

    Really? Really?

    Peja is done, his back has given him lots of problems and he can't defend a chair at this point of his career. Now if we're talking about prime Peja then I would agree that the apex of his career eclipses what Batum currently provides.

    Trade Pryz, Miller, Pick for Paul.

    Trade LMA for Bosh.

    Trade Rudy and pendergraph to NY for Lee


    There lies my tasks for KP


    Paul, Bayless
    Roy, Webster
    Batum, Cunningham
    Bosh, Lee
    Oden, Camby

    Think this line-up just might get it done!


    Good luck KP

    Regardless of everyones opinions, Paul isn't coming here for Miller, Joel and Webster. It's just not going to happen, so in order to get him you will need to give up some very nice players. Subtracting those players from this roster doesn't make it a whole lot better than NO roster how it is already constructed.

    So what is better about Peja? His same rebounding stats in more minutes than Batum? His same Assist Totals in more minutes than Batum. His worse shooting % than Batum? His slightly more PPG than Batum in more minutes? Surely it must be Peja's Defense then right?

    LMA isn't enough talent or money to get Bosh

    Joel and Miller for a top 5 player in the league? Really?

    Rudy and Pendergraph aren't enough money to get Lee.
