@TommyBeer: Stephen A, on ESPN radio, says Glen Grunwald wanted to trade for Lamarcus Aldridge, but had Andrea Bargnani (a CAA client) "forced upon him".

Woow I'm just speechless.

Please tell me that's not true.

Keep in mind that "wanting to trade for LMA" doesn't mean that he was going to be successful in doing so.

Considering this guy is our owner, i'd give it credibility...

Correct. I may "want to trade for Lebron" but that doesn't mean I'm going to be able to do it.

We have to remember that because we're at the bottom all of these "sources" and "reports" will be coming out. I ain't even mad at it.

Remember when Steven A said, Dolan wanted to trade Shumpert in the offseason and we all called him a fool?

Fury · Post #11 » by **Fury** » Thu Dec 5, 2013 6:25 pm

Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert would have been a decent offer at the time.

Lol the title of the thread makes it sound like they had Bargnani rape Grundawg

TheBigBoss · Post #12 » by **TheBigBoss** » Thu Dec 5, 2013 6:29 pm

Not buying it. We didn't have the pieces to trade for LMA, I mean would they have accepted Tyson/Shump for LMA? I doubt it. If anything building up Bargs value and then shipping him out with Shumpert for LMA or Rondo was probably the thinking they had.

yea because we really could of got Lemarcus, the Blazers would of rejected any Knick offer.

Bargs is playing well, so it's all good.

And how please tell me were we going to get LA? Let me guess -- Shump straight up.

Such a riot. As if LMA comes so cheap. Give me a break.

Bargs has been the one bright spot on this team

People need to stop clinging to every word Screamin A says. But they won't.

That being said, I wouldn'tbe surprised a CAA client was forced upon him. Getting Aldridge is just silly though.

Yep. A couple years back I wanted a brand new 2012 yellow Transformer Edition Camaro as my station car instead of what I ended up with, a 2000 VW Jetta.
