Re: Official Speculation Thread (Pt XVI: Trade Deadline cont
I just pressed F5 for the last time today. I'll see you guys tomorrow(Tue.) in part 17.
At least we'll have a Heat game to look forward to if nothing happens tomorrow.

Of course tomorrow I work from 9-6 so I won't be able to refresh a million times and if a trade goes down while I'm working, you bet your ass I'm going to "take a ****" AKA sit in the bathroom and read all about it >:O

I assume they have better picks than us. I'm not sure they'd be interested in Ryan, since they have Ilyasova. We may have a better package of players, but it's up to what MIL wants and what direction they want to go in. GS and ORL would almost have to work together in order for GS to get Bogut and us to get Monta.
Looks like Rockets have their own pick if it is 14 or below (otherwise going to NJ) and NY's 1st rounder if it is higher than 5. Yup, better than us by far.

I have been away from here for a while. What Berger article is everyone referring to?
Reporter - How do you feel about your first triple double?
Bo Outlaw - What is that some kind of cheeseburger?

Back in the 90's, those Georgetown boys used to battle each other during the offseason practicing against each other. Wasn't it Zo, Hakeem and Ewing? Wish there was some tape of that.
As a fan of the game, I would've paid good money to see that!
Dikembe was another great big from Georgetown. I don't know what's in the water over there... but they grow trees.

how many rings dont value a superstar. if this was true, robert horry is a superstar and lebron is not.
I guess averaging 25/13 while being a dominant defensive presence in the paint does not help a team win championships. Howard has already been to the finals once. More to come.
yeah i guess hitting buzzer beaters does not help a team win championships, horry has been to the finals countless times.

I'm starting to suspect that GS doesn't want J-Rich back... at least that's the impression I got from RealGM user/knowledgeable Warriors fan "NW"
I also think they want an established big... not Orton... that's why they are aiming their sights at Bogut
I hope they change their minds and go for our deal instead (Orl/GS/NOH)

Re: Official Speculation Thread (Pt XVI: Trade Deadline cont
This is actually probably the best proposal I've seen so far, all 3 teams play a part.

Re: Official Speculation Thread (Pt XVI: Trade Deadline cont
That's pretty good... maybe throw a draft pick Milwaukee's way if that package is a little weak for them. I know I said in my previous post that GS might not want J-Rich back... but in your deal you net them Bogut, so that instantly makes the deal seem attractive to them. I like it.

You'll get mixed reactions on J. Rich...
Absolutely right about the Orton thing...
Bogut is also a pretty big if in some peoples opinions, we already have one injured gimp, it would suck to have two...

I really like this especially us keeping Anderson and getting a backup c with Monta
