Steven Hunter

tru that - Isaiah keeps spies in MSG

Yeah Hunter finally did get some time and he looked rusty....what can we expect? Von Wafer is covered in rust. All we're talking about is shouldering the load so our stars are primed.

They can't play defense for the crew get two guys that can. If they can play, get them some flow.

I don't get why we don't just send Wafer to the D-League. Well, I guess since we only have 10 players healthy, its probably smart to keep him around and let him rot on the bench......but still, the dude needs to play somewhere(and im sure he loved tearing up the d-league last year).

He is in his third year so he can't go to the D league

He played 13 seconds in his "second year".....I really can't see that counting(and only 30 something minutes in his rookie season).

Actually, Isiah Thomas may be a better coach than Karl.

Earlier this season, Thomas benched Nate Robinson for a game, saying he did it because of Nate's height and how playing him would have given the other team some match up advantages.

So, Thomas gets that, while Karl wants to have sex with a midget backcourt.

L-Burna- if you don't think that counted then I don't think you know the rules.

Alright, this Karl haterd thing has officially gone too far. Karl has his problems, but does anyone really think were better off with Isiah.

AI might listen to Isaiah more?

Karl seems to have an aloofness with AI, or so it appears. He treats him like a star....but then when he needs a little pushing Karl goes anemic.

I don't think we need any player coach clashes, but a better rapport would help.

AI listens to Karl. During the Spurs series, he told AI to shoot more, he did. I actually wish AI would disregard him when he tells him to shoot more.

Hey, in the regard that Isiah realizes there are problems with having a midget back court, yeah.. he is a better coach. Overall better? Who knows, I don't watch the Knicks enough to decide that.

Right, he listens to Karl, but Karl issues those directives indirectly. AI hears them and then, as a professional, goes out and tries to do it. I don't know if Karl sits down and speaks to him about his specific observations and ways to improve. Maybe he does.

Maybe Karl just believes his instructions matter and not the matchups - he could be sending the wrong guys out to do certain stuff and telling the right guys to do the wrong stuff.

suns blog wrote this

No one with the Suns would be shocked to hear that Denver center Steven Hunter arrived 15 minutes later than he should have for a game last week. Hunter was told that he would not play that night. Anyone familiar with the NBA star structure also would not be shocked to know that teammate Allen Iverson arrived after Hunter and started, as usual. "Selective memory," coach George Karl told Denver reporters. Nevertheless, the Nuggets' apparent lack of need for Hunter might spark some interest by Phoenix in acquiring him.

what would it take to get him in a suns uni from you guys?

Raja Bell.

PHX doesn't really have any trade assets to get Hunter.

lol, um no

would you guys have any interest in marcus banks? if we through in our own draft pick?

JRmakes_it_rain · Post #35 » by **JRmakes_it_rain** » Tue Jan 29, 2008 7:11 am

I'd do that....but not sure if banks is short enough for our coach. You guys got any shorter guards?

I would take Marcus Banks.......not that I am bias or anything.
