    I was referring to Nurk. Butters can jump as high as he wants to on the sidelines waiving a towel and he's still not going to get an alley-oop.

    You want to trade our 1st, 2nd and 3rd string centers for a guy who can't play in the 4th quarter of close games due to his career .439 FT%?

    GTFO!

    We have a lack of consistent talent, and Jordan would improve that immediately becoming
    the 3rd or 4th best player on the team. So, I'm interested.

    The problem is that I'm not sure the Clips want what I'm selling. I won't trade our big 3 or
    Collins, though I'd give up a protected 1st rounder.

    LOL, you may want to consider your audience.

    BGD is trying to figure out why you apologized to him.

    This is another reason why I drink cheap beer. If I had spit-taked with a $8.00 microbrew like I did with a $3.00 Coors Light, I 'd be pissed at you right now...

    Never mind the fact that Jordan isn't a better defender, only has a higher ORtg due to alley oops but is otherwise worse offensively, and is 6 years older. But yeah, let's trade a better player for a worse player, and also add in our best hustle player to boot. So long as we add Meyers to the mix it MUST be good, right?

    Trading a starter, a top reserve and whatever Meyers is for a guy who would be our 3rd or 4th best player? Nurk is already our 3rd or 4th best player and 6 years younger. Plus, Jordan can not play at the end of close games. I'm not getting it.
