Serge Ibaka. http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profile ... ibaka.html Will easily be there at 15. Nuff said. Take Salmons unnecessary

Yes you did. You said right in the beginning that he fits in Phoenix. Plus, you wouldn't have created a non-sensical thread proposing the trade if you didn't think it was a good trade for us. Do you honestly believe that because Colangelo and Petrie went after him, he's the GOAT or something? We get that you view Colangelo and Petrie as gods, because obviously they have never made a questionable move in their life. That still doesn't erase the fact that there wasn't much to choose from in Free agency with the MLE. And Please, don't preach to me what kind of player Salmons is. I've been watching him since he started his career. I know what he can do, if you search all the way back through my posts in 05, you'll see I was pulling for him to get more minutes at the Sixers. And no, I don't think I'm selling him short, I think you're overrating him. The way you're making him sound to sell this trade idea, makes him look like the next Pippen.


:nonono: @ you. I said he FITS in Phoenix, as in his playing style FITS in Phoenix. Nothing about what i think of THIS TRADE for Phoenix. And I created the thread to see what Suns fans thought of the trade.

Serge Ibaka. http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profile...ibaka.html Will easily be there at 15. Nuff said. Take Salmons and shove him up your A$$.


:rofl: @ the Suns or any team that takes Ibaka at 15(which they wont).he's late 1st rd pick at best. I had to read over your post 4-5 times to see if you were serious, and figured out u really were. im happy for Suns fans you are not the GM.

IIRC, after losing out on Salmons, the Suns went and gave Banks $21 million over 5 years. So, I think the bolded part was answered pretty clearly there...


Can you really blame the Suns for that? Banks was coming off a very solid yr in Minny, and a young PG that shows potential like that are hard to come by. He just didn't fit the Suns system, but I think he can still be a solid player and good backup PG. He's done OK in Miami so far.

The guy is a good player, but his 3 shot isn't enough to make him play enough minutes and for some reason D'Antoni is obsessed with leaving Barbosa at the point, despite having Hill and Diaw who can run the point A LOT better than #10...


Na-na...

Both cant run the PG better then Leandro!
