I heard theres talk between Cavs and Mavs for the Mavs trying too get Z too sweeten the deal for Shaq. Anyone know what they are offereing us?
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting wizardsfan00:</div><div class="quote_post">you cleveland fans love Z dont yas</div> Well a 7'4 center who can score is invaluable in the East, especially considering he seems to finally be healthy. They don't need Walker or Howard with Boozer, LeBron and Luke Jackson on the roster.
That wouldnt be that bad of a deal, Josh Howard had a great rookie year and Antoine Walker is a proven player and is happy to be places where he's gonna win and on a cavs roster like this there bound to win. PG-LeBron SG-Luke Jackson SF-Josh Howard PF-Boozer C-Antoine Walker
WTF are you smokin'? Walker cannot play center. This is one of the worst trade propositions I've ever heard of. Cleveland needs Ilgauskas, he's a great asset to a great team on the verge of something big.
I only said Walker at the 5 because in most of the box scores I've seen from this past season they have him at the 5 spot.
They want LeBron to play the two and the three this upcoming season, with Jef McInnis starting at the point.
If this does go down (Which would SUCK) Our lineup would look like this... Battie/Diop/Boom-Boom Boozer/Walker/Battie Walker/Jackson/Pavlovic/Newble James/Howard/Brown/ McInnis/Wagner/Ollie Not bad, we would have some depth and another Celtic on the board. I suppose Walker is good friends with Battie and Brown and Silas loves these Celtic guys. It could work but Z is worth so much to the Cavs that it would be hard to give him away. Especially if Dallas will lure Z for Shaq.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">It's for Antwan Walker and Josh Howard. meh...</div> Aww hell no.. Maybe if it was them 2 plus Nash then maybe but this is not worth it at all. Z is one of the top 5 centers in the NBA.
GM's like to throw crap out there to see if anybody is dumb enough to accept the offer. Pax might be dumb when it comes to building a team, but he isn't that dumb enough to trade Z. (i hope)
Wow, you cleveland guys really like Z. I think he's a Nellie kinda player (big white guy that can score). Of course, I would prefer more of a banger, but Z would be a great fit in Dallas. Walker has one year left on his contract, which makes him valuable. He did play center, but it was really just a fluke, he's more of a 3-4 tweener. He is a talented player who never was able to use his talent in any useful role last year. Josh Howard is a great player, he'll play ten years in this league. I think Walker and Laetner probably being held out for the Shaq trade, but Laetner is a possibility in that trade. Stackhouse too.
You rather have Walker then Z? Your kidding right? Walker is just another power foward, which there is about 20 good ones out there. Z is likst one out of 5 good consistent centers. He is big, he can score and his D really picked up this year. No way you trade a guy like that.
This trade sux mega ballz for Cleveland. C- Battie PF-Boozer Sf-LeBron SG- Luke Jackson PG- Jeff Mcginnis 6 man - Twoine? Theyre better with Big Z c-Z Pf-Boozer Sf-LeBron Sg-Luke Jackson Pg Jeff McGinnis Thats better Also for Dallas r lakers since dallas is luring Shaq Big Z I dont think can compete very well in the west. Z Boozer n LeBron is a great front court for the East tho
Antoine Walker at center. You gotta be kidding me. He gets pushed around by small forwards. He is one of the softest players out there, this would be a horrible move by the Cavs.
Walker also does not make good decisons. He`ll drive baseline and pass to a guy trying to get open. Walker at center? Your kidding me right?
