Raja Bell? Don't think we need him, too many players at his position on our roster....

No to Bell. No need for him. Hopefully Lewis is on board.

Please anybody but Lucas III. **** him. ...and Fish him too. Keep Cole he'll be better next year. IMO don't use Cole just to get Camby. Not worth it IMO

Every time I see JL3's name I picture the Fresh Prince .gif of Carlton dancing.

I'd be pissed as ****. Lucas is a little punk that still has not gotten over LeBron jumpin over him. Plus Cole will be 3x the player he will ever be. I want Camby, but not at the price of the future.

If you are looking at a back up PG to fill the roster, IMO, Dooling is a better fit.

I don't know how I feel about this.

With Howard probably going to Brooklyn, I d rather have Camby than Cole in this team. So, i m down with Cola for Camby.

I honestly dont care for either Lewis or Lucas or Bell. Lewis plays NO defense, can't rebound all that much and we have a better shooter in James Jones IMO.
Raja Bell can be nice defensively and can hit the 3, but I think he's two years too late.
John Lucas, I don't care for, just because we have Cole and Chalmers already.

I don't mind our bigs of Bosh, Haslem and Anthony. We know Lebron can play PF also so Im not really too worried if we don't sign anybody else.

As far as filling up the roster, I would love to see Varnado on the roster this season to have him develop with the team and not over in Europe. I don't know why, but I see a lot of potential in him.

I just hope that Lakers dont come in discussions with Lewis because they can offer him the mini MLE and a good role.

It's not worth getting Lucas for Cole just because he can shoot the three better. How many 3 pt shooters does this team need? Let's give Cole a normal full season and a full training camp before deciding what he can and cannot do on this team. Lucas is a scrub who won't get any PT in big moments anyway, we don't need to trade our young piece for that. We don't know what Cole's ceiling is yet.

For real man **** Lucas. Don't compromise young talent for scrubs

I didn't think about the minutes. Cole probably isn't gonna see a lot of minutes, unless Rio gets in foul trouble. If that's the case, swapping him for Camby is tolerable, but still. It would make me sad if we sent him elsewhere. He's a Heat guy. He's bought into the system. PEACE.

Howard would kill us with Anthony or Bosh on him. Camby would be big in a series against Howard. I love Cole, but we need really need a defensive big center.

Howard isn't going to kill bosh. I just don't want to see bosh do the dirty work of guarding howard and getting in foul trouble. That's why I like battier and what he does for lebron

Also, this is why Camby would be more useful than Cole.

Isn't Keyon Dooling available why the **** would we want John Trash III?

Vampire Diaries · Post #1197 » by **Vampire Diaries** » Mon Jul 9, 2012 5:25 am

I'm laughing out loud right now because someone just said Dwight Howard would kill us. Dwight Howard didn't have any moves when he came into the league, and he doesn't have any now. He's a defensive specialist, nothing more. He's a more athletic Dikembe Mutombo....that's it

This is very wrong. He had no moves when he came into the league and is still fairly limited when it comes to post moves, but it's night and day compared to when he first entered the league. He could do nothing but dunk in his first few years, at least now he has a spin move, jump hook, running hook, etc.

It would really suck to have to give up Cole, but I think if Howard goes to Brooklyn, we're going to need a legitimate option to defend him other than Bosh. There has to be better replacement options than freakin' JL3, all he is is a no defense, no vision, chucker. I think Dooling is headed back to Boston, I'd need to do some research to find other reasonable options for us at PG.

Didn't Pittman do a decent job defending Dwight?
