Would you guys trade for Alston? 

Post#1 » by the_l_train » Wed Jun 17, 2009 10:58 pm

I just saw the wiretap article about how he always expects it. I would love him as a backup, though i'm sure he would want a bigger role. Pretty sure he's any upgrade from Bynum.

What would it take?

nah, Bynum may not be as good but for how much he's getting paid, he's a steal...

My interest falls slightly above the guy three guys above, but less than the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th guys.

My level of interest is just a c hair above GenshiYagyu's interest, but below the guy above him.

But seriously, the guy seems to be bench cancer unless (and some would say) even if he is the starter.

Not particularly a fan of his, and obviously he'd just be a one year rental. If we really wanna upgrade from Bynum I'd rather somebody who can grow with the team long term. But I'm actually OK with Bynum. He's not great or anything, but the price is right. I'd rather we spent money upgrading our starting frontcourt before we worry about backup guards.

Guys, he's a good player.....average starter.....

But no, I wouldn't trade for him, he wouldn't fit here with Stuckey/Bynum already here.

Bynum is a perfect backup PG, someone who can score with the 2nd unit, and who is really cheap. We don't have a legit starter at PF or C - we need to deal with those huge holes first.

Why do you want to move Alston? To try and have a chance to clear up more cap room to Keep Turkoglu?
