Well, what's worse, you get taj and he gives us 8/6 in 22 minutes of run while killing all momentum and growth of Freeland and Leonard or you get the same production without giving anybody up and basically giving up on some young talented pieces? I can see us Giving up on a cj or a Crabbe because guards are a dime a dozen, 7 footers with skill aren't.
I hear you. I want a title though and when're I watch Gibson play, I think man, I wish we had that kind of play on our team.
I just clicked in Denny's link and that site is like a poor man's Bleacher Report. Not a credible source.
Gibson doesn't even bring us any closer to a title though, guys like afflalo, Chandler or ross would be more important to our success.
Both would be great. Gibson AND Chandler. Remember when Celtics won in 2008? They signed and traded for as many good players they could get. PJ Brown, Sam Cassell down the stretch.
I rather us keep Freeland/Leonard as the backups as they are our future one way or another. We just need one guy who can slash/shoot and stay relatively healthy.
Pippen ain't easy is as much as BE is. nobody outside your starting 5 is on Taj's level. He's a 6th man of the year candidate on the Bulls, and a likely starter on many other teams. I seriously doubt they take two end of the bench players for him.
I agree. If you are comparing all our bench players, Taj is better than all of them, including Kaman. That part is a no brainer. The problem with the Taj situation is I think it will require possibly one of our starters, or a combination of Freeland, CJ and Leonard.
At least you stopped mentioning Lin and Evan Turner as players who would put the Blazers over the top.
