This game should send a clear message to management 

Post#1 » by darkangle901 » Thu Dec 29, 2011 4:10 am

We need 3 point shooters.

1 for 15 from the arc until Randolph hit that desperation 28 footer.

We'll keep T.A. because he really sets the tone for how we play, but we can't afford any other liabilities from the perimeter (especially since Pargo is looking like a keeper, and he looks like his outside shot might be suspect as well).

I'm not sure who's out there. But guys like Young and Pondexter don't need to be playing SF for us (Pondexter is fine playing spot duty at 4 though as far as I can tell).

We also could use a true PF who can shoot the three.

I'm not sure who's out there, but Wallace needs to start looking.

Can't shoot or defend the three.

I thought management was trying to bring in shooters for the season. All they did was lose Battier and Greasy. I don't even have to talk about them not bringing in a big man yet either smh.

And like all of last season, management will ignore that message.

Tolliver and Ridnour for Mayo?

Tolliver is a solid backup big who can shoot the 3 and works hard defensively. Ridnour is best suited as a 2nd unit PG who can provide some outside shooting ability.

You know we traded Kevin Love and Mike Miller to you guys for OJ Mayo? on principle alone I wouldn't trade you guys Mayo unless something really good came back in return. not spare pieces.

I don't really think the Love for Mayo swap would have any barring on if the Griz would trade Mayo to the Wolves. If the decide to trade him they should be looking to get the best deal, not refuse to trade him to a team because of a trade that went down years ago involving him.

That would be my response to your crap offer which is most certainly not "the best deal".
