OT-ish: Anthony Randolph for a 1st rounder?

Cho would need to find a replacement at SG but I'd do it. Rudy may suck but at least he can give Roy a rest and keep the lineup balanced.

 

So all I have to do is average the numbers of Beno, Felton, and Bledsoe and that will give me the numbers Maynor must produce?

Not for sure what the Pacer swipe was all about. I am not the one making outlandish claims.

 

It's make too much sense for this team to do this deal.

 

Felton's average? He's putting up All-Star numbers right now.

Alright, don't make any more statements about how good a player is, you have proven you have no fuckin clue about the NBA.

 

oh mclueless..... if eric maynor is ever as good as any of the above.... i will apologize for calling you clueless.

and is eric maynor above those guys? should i now put eric in roses or rondos league? hes elite now? man cho better get busy on this kid. NOW.

 

This fall the Knicks measured him at 7'0" 222 lbs., do you strictly play him at the four or a small five?

 

Agree with your short-list. But I'd add Gallanari. Our bench needs a shooter - and he can score.

I'd prefer him - playing the SF with Batum over Batum and Randolph. (Then we can get rid of Babbitt altogether).

I think Rudy and picks might get this done if our pick is what would sway Denver to pull the trigger on a Carmello-to-NY deal.


Second on my list is Varejao. Not sure what we need to do in order to get him. I think the only way is a deal involving Pryz and his expiring. But I like having Pryz to spell Camby. I'd still pull the trigger on a Pryz for Varejao deal - even if it meant moving LMA to the 5 when Camby is out of the game.

Point guard will have to wait until the trade deadline or off-season in my opinion.

 

Why wouldn't you play Andy at the 5? He's 6'11" and 260 (vs LMA 6'11" and 240) and starts at Center for CLE.

As for the Randolph deal, this makes too much sense. The Rudy/NO 1st rounder should be automatic.

 

With the dearth of real beefy centers in the league you could probably get away with playing him at either spot. I don't think the distinction really matters.

 

oh mixie boy. Quit changing subjects. Felton is an above average PG and even someone who rarely watches basketball knows that.

Admit it. You don't know shit about the game. Its okay.

 

I am going to agree with MIXUM on this one. Felton is certainly not in that top tier of PG's. In a free agent market where alot of mediocre talent got overpaid, Felton was only able to get two years guaranteed at just above the MLE. His numbers are not going to get alot of respect since he is in Dantoni's system. I would still rather have Andre Miller this season for the Blazers.

Bledsoe and Beno are both fair. Of the starting PG's in the league, they are arguably the worst starters.

Other gauges that could be used:

25 minutes a game over a season
6 assists per game over a season
Start 60 games in a season
15 ppg over a season

 

eric maynor!!!!!!!!

 

Felton's #'s have gone up in New York because he has an All-Star player aside him.

Your making strawman arguments. I never said he was a top tier PG, I also never said I'd rather have him over Andre (to some that might be debateable). All I said, is that he's an above average PG. 18ppg and 8apg this year would agree with me.

You agree with Mixum that 18 and 8 is average production from a PG?

 

I've always wondered why people think so little of him. Seems like he's always put up decent numbers.

 

McCants is supposedly a head case.

 

It's "concerning" that they want to trade Anthony Randolph to get Carmelo Anthony?? Wouldn't every GM do that?

 

If it helps, the McClueless handle he has given you does not fit either.

Anyway,

And he is in Dantoni's system. Look at what Chris Duhon did in it without Amare. 7 assists and 11 pts in 2008-09.

Depends on your definition of average. Here are how the numbers break out.

Start with nine pg's that no doubt you would rather have over Felton:

Paul, Nash, Deron, Rondo, Westbrook, Wall, Kidd, Rose, and Parker

Add another two that I would take, but are debatable:

Andre Miller and Billups

That is eleven, making the best I would put Felton is at twelve.

However, I think he gets put into the same group of players as Nelson, Conley, Harris, Curry, Jennings, Collison, Hinrich. Ridnour, etc. That makes him an average starter.

If we are talking above average in relation to all point guards whether a starter or not, I agree that Felton is an above average pg.

Again, look at the numbers Duhon put up then compared to what he is doing in Orlando. The money Felton was able to get in Free Agency is alot closer to the money Kyle Lowry pulled down than it is what the cheap Memphis franchise gave Mike Conley.

 

I don't think you can say Felton having the year he's having is just a D'antoni affect. I think Larry Brown broke him down and rebuilt him into a real point guard and now he's in a system that is more wide open and he's capitalizing. Make no mistake he looks like a top ten point guard and he's a huge reason why the Knicks are playing as well as they are.
