Feel free to call him the Texas Turncoat (TT for short). I gave y'all that one for $0. Like the Polio vaccine, it was free and we should give it to all our kids! But I have to copywrite the one above. Y'all MFs will steal a brotha's joke!
Yes this happened. My question was who we could have drafted instead of he and Monia. I'm to lazy to look it up right now.
It seemed like he was hired to tear the team down. That he did. I imagine it didn't look too good on the resume though.
Tony Allen and Kevin Martin it looks like. Sure those two would have been better than Viktor and Monia but not franchise changing.
Same reason I haven't responded. ..hehe I know Verajoa (sp?) was selected after. Oh, and Kevin Martin.
He tore the team down yes but Neil just showed you can tear down a team and get decent assets in return. Nash's big signings were Chuck Person and Steve Blake.
On the heels of Portland winning 8 of 10 when they played Wallace at 5, Nash made his big trade moving Rasheed for SAR & Theo. Sheriff's game was a duplication of Zach's on both ends. They were anything but complimentary (no shit!) & Rahim walked when he reached FA. Injury plagued & old Ratliff played okay when healthy and parlayed that into a max deal from Nash which he largely was injured for. Basically, while Sheed was off competing for championships in Detroit, Nash had parleyed Portland's biggest asset into multi-year dead weight on the IR. At the time it happened I was beside myself that they'd passed on Detroit's offer instead of Atlanta's as capspace + a 1st pick seemed a much better option then old vets who don't fit with whats in place... if you're tearing down while also building for the future. In the draft Nash twice passed on the opportunity to add many future starting studs including a HOFer for HS eye candy. Being hoodwinked into Martell dreams after watching him shoot jumpers over Jameer Nelson and Rashad McCants was especially nauseating. NBA teams collectively thought so much of his Portland tenure that he was out of the league for 2 seasons before landing a scouting gig with the 76ers, (insert joke here). STOMP
I wouldn't want to rain on anyone's parade (especially today)...but I was under the impression that the term "NecroBump" had been utilized by some, in previous instances...
Yeah. I like Zombie Bump© better! Tbh I never heard of the Necro version. I'll take what came from my mind.
