Pay This Man

I think stealing him from the lakers would be great, fits the team perfectly. If he gets pissed about LA trying to short change him, and he's cool with just one ring (for now) then lets make that big move

Spolstra for COY??

Been reading a lot of news around the league about the coach of the year debate, marc stein noted that Nate is making a late season push but still probably won't win it. I try to put my bias behind me, but I think Nate should be coach of the year. The debate with Karl and Van Gundy have similair arguements to Nate, team getting better, big players getting better, role players knowing exactly what they need to do, all resulting in an improved team, but the debate for spolstra makes no sense. Everything that Spolstra has done Nate has done, without the advantage of injuries last year that made the team look really really bad. Just like spolstra Nate has counted on rookies, Oden, rudy, batum, beasly, chalmers. Both coaches have also benefited from amazing play from their stars, and as good as brandon has been, wade has been on another level. This all ends with nate having a better seed in a much better conference, Why the Love for spolstra??

SI Article about Roy

Did anybody the article on brandon roy on si.com? great stuff, good for roy, and the blazers to get national attention, The guy talks about how roy plays his game so slow, always analyzing and playing like a much older player, the usual stuff. They also talked about brandon's injuries such as the ones he sufferend in college and the constant treatment he goes through every day. I hate hearing about blazer injuries

Al Harrington

The Warriors have made it pretty clear that al harrington is on the trading block, I know he's not the huge midseason pickup some poeple might want from raefs contract, he is a guy who could give us stability at the small forward spot, we would probably have to give up outlaw, but i think harrington, with experince although not too much in the playoffs, and a good shooting touch, would be pretty good in our team. This of course is assuming that he's ok being the 4th option to a bunch of guys who can't even drink yet.
