Would you trade Batum for Tony Parker?

    I guess I just don't see Nate (or Allen) signing off on this. If the organization had to hem and haw and grit their teeth over the inclusion of Nicolas in a CP3 swap then I can't imagine they'd readily part with him for a guy a tier below that.

    So, you want a fusion of Steve Nash and Rajon Rondo?

    I'll take it. Where is that guy?

    Agreed. Miller totally exploited Steve Nash's defense and would have continued to do so if Roy had been going at full strength. No way that Phoenix uses their best defender on Miller if they have to contend with Roy.

    Chris Paul is even better. And Portland is close to getting him. Why we even talking about Tony Parker?

    You summed up my Parker concerns beautifully. Repped.

    This is news to me? Perhaps "was" is a better choice of word than is?

    I don't understand why we are all assuming that Batum would be part of the deal. The guy only said that Nate mentioned something about matching and TP. Nothing about Batum.

    Rudy and the Great Babbitt should be good for the Hornets. Nice backup SG in Rudy, and a stud starting SF. It is a little hard for to give up such a stud in Babbitt, but ultimately, I think I would do it.

    So did Rubio magically develop a jump shot in the past couple of weeks?

    He's been sand bagging it to throw the Wolves off. He learned this trick from Rudy.

    The Great Babbitt will no be pleased you suggest I use green font. He does not think sarcasm is funny.

    If we have a deal in place that we like for Tony Parker...theres no way we should let the Wes Matthews decision affect it. If Utah matches, we'll be able to find another Wes Matthews type guy (probably at a better price!)

    Wonder if he misheard Nate from a few row back. Maybe he said "CP"?

    One can dream.
