Step 1: Fire Nate Step 2: Trade Wallace, Camby, Felton, and Crawford. Step 3: Start Williams, Smith, and Batum. Step 4: Tank for lottery Step 5: Sign Deron Williams. WINNING!
Aldridge and Batum is a nice core to join up with, especially if we get a lotto pick and add another weapon.
He traveled his ASS OFF. Watch His pivot foot. You give me 3 steps and I'll get in the lane every time too.
I don't understand the question. If you are implying that I think we have any shot at Williams, your wrong. As much as I dream of dreams in getting that stud; I don't think we are even on his radar. Maybe if we got to the WCF or something, then there is a chance. Looking like we do now; doesn't make us look like anything but a team able to get to the playoffs. There are 16 other teams and a few outside looking in like that. And Gutting our team will make it seem much worse.
My implication was that we don't have much of a shot regardless of trading players (or not). But if I were Williams I would be slightly more encouraged to sign with a team that had Aldridge + Batum + decent lottery pick(s) and some role-players vs. Aldridge + Batum + over-the-hill vets and some role-players.
Yeah but cleveland didn't. In fact I could think of more teams that got the shit end of tanking. Didn't we have the best chance and got the worst scenario?
Oh for fucks sake. No they didnt. And who is David hall of fame Robinson? And who is Tim hall of fame Duncan that we would draft? And you know they reduced the odds of winning unless you have the worst records. No team is replicating the Spurs history.
I don't know. The "bi-polar-ism" around here never ceases to amaze. The highs are ALWAYS too high and the lows ALWAYS too low. I laughed at this best in the west bullshit that was being thrown around here 2 1/2 weeks ago and I laugh at this "blow this shit up" mentality. I hate when things don't go well, this happens. I never want to settle for mediocrity...... but I also will never bail on my favorite team when things aren't going well. It is so easy to say blow this shit up or trade so in so. I want people to come up with realistic ideas on how to make the team better, not just bitch. I believe fans can say what they want or feel how they want about their favorite team, it just amazes me sometime how quickly they bail.
First of all, you have no idea which one in this draft could be the next "big thing". In just about every draft there has been a franchise changer. Secondly, you keep bashing people who want to go threw a retooling process, but never give your method for building a champion. I have asked you before, and will ask again. If you were GM, what would you do to help us become contenders?
