    Did Raymond Felton run over Jason Quick's dog? I know Felton sucks, but the way Quick continues to single him out, and seems intent on running him out of town, seems very unprofessional for a beat writer. I expect this kind of shit from Canzano, who can always hide behind the "I'm a columnist, not a reporter. I'm paid for my opinions, not facts." disclaimer.

    The players Quick listed only one makes us a true contender: Deron Williams

    Lightweight article, not worth a thread.

    I've been wanting a real beat reporter since forever. Because JQ regularly interjects himself and his petty tabloid views into his "reports", players are at the least guarded. Over a decade ago when I used to click the links to his stories, it was sort of funny/pathetic to see how many times he'd refer to himself vs how many player quotes were included. The roster changes, but the new guys know not to talk to him too. It doesn't have to be this way.

    btw... kudos to KingSpeed for including the fact that this was a Quick link

    So think 39 year old PG, think pipe dream, think RFA that Indiana will match, think injured center with foot and leg issues.

    How many plus wins would a nash and Jason terry give you? How many more wins, if any, would adding just deron Williams give you?

    Nash will be 39 next year. There is little to no way this team will be able to build a contender overnight, so signing Nash is a huge waste of time

    The one thing in the article I agree with.

    The rest is just saying that (surprise!) management won't announce until they have something to announce but hope to have something to announce before too long. Why kill a tree for that?

    Do you always just mention both positives and negatives for everyone, so that when it does or doesn't happen, you have a side to go on and can argue either way?

    I haven't looked at the article, but I imagine it's the exact same type of "reporting" that Quick did during his love affair with $amon and hate for Sheed all other things Blazers. I hate his melodramatic biased "reporting".

    I am under the weather, so maybe I am missing the sarcasm, but what is positive about any of those names?

    well, there's plenty positive about deron and hibbert. But I just mean in general, you complaining about aguy in one thread, liking him as a target in another and such.

    And if we didn't target Deron, you'd likely just complain about our management being in clown town, and thinking small instead of going after someone like Deron. But, if it is likely that they DO target him, you have to have your opposite side down. lottery pick. all star. top 5 at his position. Yeah, terrible idea. Oh, but it's a pipe dream, so we should go after who you say. Until yousay you don't like it a week later when someone else suggests it.

    Why are you referring to Quick in the plural?

    Oh, I think we should target Deron, but I also don't think there is a chance in hell he signs here. I just hope Steve Nash isn't the back up plan. Hibbert isn't going anywhere, and Lopez is an injury prone center

    He's easily got 2-3 years left, man takes care of himself. The next 2-3 yrs will be LMA's prime and you couldn't ask for a better complement to him than Nash.

    Same way I comment on your lightweight opinions.

    Always keep your hands on the wheel while you drive.
