Just how lousy is Chris Wallace?

Personally, I'm glad Miller wasn't used just to get rid of Cardinal.

He has more value than that.[/quote]i couldn't care less about Cardinal in this. the time to move Cardinal was with Gasol. The problem is saying "no, thanks" to someone who asks, "what's your dream deal?" i don't care if that includes Cardinal or not.

Wallace should never be a GM again, you don't trade Gasol the Lakers for junk. Geez.. a monkey could have pulled a better trade than Wallace. The Grizzlies should suck and never win another game ever again.

Nothing will be more satisfying then when all you whiners are proven wrong.

I am trying to figure out when Heisley became the cheapskate though.

He paid Jerry West

When Hubie quit he paid Frat.

When Frat was fired he didn't go get a bargain basement coach.

He could have faked the funk and signed Verajao to an offer sheet you know Cleveland would match and not pay Darko.

I am not saying he is Cuban but he is not Sterling either.

So what's your dream deal between Memphis and Miami pre-deadline?

Hubie, Frat and Jerry can't dunk and can no longer shoot the 3.

If Frat could dunk....I'd buy the team and sign the guy :nod:

I think that there will be a limit on what CW is "allowed" to offer players like Josh Smith and Monta,and if that limit is exceeded, then Pietrus or Najera or some such would be a "fallback" or nothing will be spent. Just an opinion.

I'm thinking that nothing will be spent.

DWade, JWill, and Haslem for the entire Grizzlies team.

you'll be waiting until the end of time. frankly, this has to be one of the funniest posts i've ever read, only because you are obviously being sincere. well no **** he paid jerry west, hubie, and frat. kind of hard to not have a GM or head coach on payroll when you own a team in the league. you might as well have said the man pays for his groceries and gas.

When Frat was fired he didn't go get a bargain basement coach.

what do you think a rookie head coach is? phil jackson? larry brown (who was a candidate)?

He could have faked the funk and signed Verajao to an offer sheet you know Cleveland would match and not pay Darko.

ah, it always comes down to foregoing reality for hypotheticals. "could", "would", "if', etc. he could've gotten a full-body tattoo, but he didn't.

That's what I figured.

Making your gripe with Memphis not doing a deal with Miami, ridiculous.

Riley didn't ask me for my dream deal; he asked the Grizzlies GM for his. Don't be a moron. The only thing ridiculous is that Wallace didn't give Riley a deal. Your silly question doesn't absolve Wallace of his decision. The worst that could have happened is that Riley would have said, "no." Wallace never gave him that chance.

No. What's silly is your berating a guy for not asking for the moon under the assumption that he could get it.

Do you need to read an article where Chris Wallace says he asked for DWayne Wade in return for Mike Miller to make you feel better?

That request would make Wallace seem even more inept than he already does at the present moment and every sports outlet/reader in America would laugh their asses off.

I'm currently in the middle on Wallace as a GM because I don't believe the majority of what's currently happening is his doing, but to hang something as trivial as not giving Miami a ridiculous 'dream' option for Mike Miller is petty.

now, now. you're trying to paint me and Wallace as one in the same, as the same person with the same "dream deal", subtly shifting back and forth from Wallace and me. You didn't ask me what Wallace's dream deal is/was, you asked ME what MY dream deal was. It's entirely irrelevant to the topic and an effort by you to shift the topic onto me, but I answered anyway. My answer was partly in jest, which i figured was obvious. Nowhere did i insinuate that this is what Wallace should have asked for. For you to apply my answer to Wallace is disingenous.

Here you are assuming that I'm berating Wallace "for not asking for the moon." I've done no such thing, nor have I once assumed that he could get it. If you had read my last post, you likely wouldn't have made this error. I just said that Riley could always have said no to whatever Wallace offered or wanted. Wallace didn't give Riley that chance. THAT is the issue, not which pieces would or could be involved. Again, I made this very clear in more than one post in this thread. Not once have i ever mentioned a single player who Wallace should have asked for. Not once.

I'm currently in the middle on Wallace as a GM because I don't believe the majority of what's currently happening is his doing,

that's because you suffer from paranoid delusions about Heisley.

Needless to say...this is a complete waste of time.

Nah. I suffer from paranoid delusions about Mickey Mouse.

In regards to Heisley, there are no delusions.

His big moves on the Celtics are summed up as follows:
He traded Chauncey Billups for Kenny Anderson
Then he traded Joe Johnson and a 1st for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers
Finally, he traded for Vin Baker

Now what was your question again?
