We have a chance

raging WebTed — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:32:46 -0000

All hope has been lost for the beginning of the season. Especially those first two games. That impossible game in Los Angeles against the MVP and his gang of little followers, and then to follow it up there is the home opener against San Antonio. All is lost... right?.... I don't think so. the stars of both those teams are playing in the Olympics, which puts a lot more stress and ware on the body. Kobe has his pinkie injury, or whatever, that has been bothering him since he the all star break, (which is why roy got so much time in the game) and i heard while watching one of the Olympic games that he will probably undergo surgery. And Manu ginobli has had a hurt ankle for a long time, and has now taken another fall, and could undergo surgery. Now, these surgeries could go as smoothly as roys, and be ready for their games, but they might also have some leftover effects of the surgery, and may not be at 100%. If by some way we won, because they wernt there, it wouldn't be as sweet, but any W is sweeter than L. Just imagine if we did win, and they were there, the world would really have to take notice. No matter what the circumstances, it will be tough, with so many young and inexperienced players, but hopefully everyone shows up early for training camp like last year to help get things started, and jellin as soon as possible. Basically, this means that we might at least have some hope in these games, no matter how small it is. And lets just hope that we got our injuries out of the way.

O.J. Mayo video

Here is an interesting video about OJ Mayo, to me it sounds like his problems are just way overblown, and are not that big of a deal. He would not be a bad apple, especialy if he came into such a good enviornment. To get him we would have to give up alot. he has been very highly regarded lately, but could he slip down a little, maybe to memphis or New York which could be good trading partners. If we got him i think we could run a fastbreaking team, and give everyone their points...But KP will have to decide if he is good enough...... In KP we trust.

Rookie sophmore game

raging WebTed — Sun, 18 May 2008 23:08:09 -0000

Next year i think that the rookies will finally be able to beat the sophmores. or at least get very close to doing so.

Rose- Bayless

Gordon- Mayo

Fernandez- Gallinari- Greene

Beasley- lopez- Randolph

Oden- Jorden

Vs.

Conley- Stuckey

Durant - Navaro

Thadeus Young- Thorton- Moon

Scola-Landry

Horford- Noah

The rooks will have more impact players, rebound size advatage with horford being kind of small for a center. Anyway Oden already dominated Horford and Noah in the title game. It looks to me that besides horford and durant the the rookies are a higher caliber team (Rose, Beasly, Oden, mayo?, and hopefully fernandez) but they are still rookies and inexperienced... what are your thoughts.

And the rosters are just estemates. I put rudy in at sf here because they are weak at sf and didnt have other better options.

A Trade For Rose

raging WebTed — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 00:29:32 -0000

Here is the trade that I could find that will bring Rose home to the rose city. And let's say Miami gets the# 2 pick, they would probably take Michael Beasley if they got #1. I think they could get more for the pick at than rose; they need about everything and might not want another dominant guard that can't shoot well. Assuming the team that gets #1 doesn't take him, here is the trade.
http://www.realgm.com/src_checktrade.php?tradeid=4562601

We do this because ....of Derrick Rose who is the best point guard prospect since CP3 & DW. We would be giving up Jack, who will be gone anyway and especially if Rudy comes over like it is hoped. It would be tough to get rid of Blake an Pryzbilla, but with Oden and Rose stepping into those positions all we would need are good backups. Which we would get for the most part. We would be a little shallow at the point behind Rose with Banks and Rodriguez, but Roy/Fernandez could give it a shot. With Fernandez we would have no problem backing up Roy, and if Webster can continue to develop into what we need at the three the departure of Outlaw won't be as bad. I don't really see Outlaw as being part of the long term future anyways. We would receive Haslem from Miami who could be a good backup behind Aldridge, and could be a decent rebounder, he average 10 points and 8 rebounds when they were good and won the championship. And Frye and Blount could back up Oden, especially if Frye continues to contribute.

Rose- Banks- Rodriguez
Roy- Fernandez- Hassell
Webster- Jones???
Aldridge- Haslem- Frye-
Oden- Frye- Blount

New Jersey would do this because they have fallen out of the playoffs in the uncompetitive East, and they defiantly need some change.

They would get Raef's expiring contract in order to rebuild, and I remember that they were interested in Outlaw during the Jason Kidd trade. New Jersey accepting this trade might be the only problem, but we could add money and picks.

Miami would do this trade because they are looking for more experience, and all around help. Jefferson, Blake and Pryzbilla would defiantly fill their needs. As I said before they would not want another dominant guard who cannot shoot the ball and whos game is very similar to Dwayne Wade

Miami would have a pretty killer lineup of:
Blake
Wade
Jefferson
Marion, ---- if he doesn't opt out
Pryzbilla

And we could throw in our # 13 pick, future picks, and our unlimited supply of money and second round picks where it is needed.

P.S. and the key to finding another trade that might work better is finding a good player who might be unhappy or in a bad situation, or a team that is in desperation mode: Memphis and the Pau Gasol trade.

And to wrap it up all of this only works only if Rose is good enough.

.. It is easier to find good backups than a starting point guard, especially if you are already a championship contender and can get those veterans who never were able to get aring.
