that too...

Do we have some player that we can sign and trade like Van Horn for the Nets? I think that we would have better pieces than the Nets.

We have Walker and Jaric to take up the difference. Brewer would probably have to be involved too.

Cuban has to be throwing up after throwing Harris to the nets.

I don't want that expensive, drunk driving, play-off stinkbomb Melo.

I don't understand the hate on Melo. I know he is a division rival but the guy is an assassin. I remember he hit that three to knock us out of playoff contention like 2-3 years ago. He is a pretty clutch player and can score in bunches. He is a proven player.

Really? He shot in the 30%'s in his 23 play-off games (20 losses).

serious attitude problems, driving while drunk, doesnt play defense, does not make his teammates better. He is starting to get a bad wrap. I think he needs a new start, but not here.

Kevin Williams, DT Vikings?

Didn't Mayo have problems getting along with teammates? Wasn't the knock on him in HS that he was out there playing 1 on 5? AI and Melo work well together for the most part but its the rest of their team that doesn't fit around them besides maybe Camby. They have two of the best scoring weapons in the league so they need some good defenders at the other positions.

I want us to draft Mayo but I would rather take the sure thing in Melo than hope Mayo turns out well.
