They're not getting any better in the offseason.

Probably worse. The Wallace deal may end up being the best thing Higgins has ever done ... well besides letting Cho take over as GM.

Gerald Wallace hasn't brought the "impact" this season. We sold him at a good time. Ignoring the bums we acquired (there's a reason Cho was happy to give us Cunningham and let him go to Memphis), he turned that 18th pick into Biyombo and that Portland pick could very well be lotto at this point. I think it's definite lotto if they lose Batum this off-season and can't find a PG that Nate actually likes.

So, we're looking at Biyombo and someone in 2013 or 2014 (maybe someone this year if Cho deals that pick) for Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston, and Gerald Wallace. When you have Bucks fans saying Livingston was the best part of that deal and Gerald Wallace being mediocre Gerald Wallace, it looks like we got a steal.

Yeah it really was the right time to move Wallace, probably even waited a little to long to do it, but I'm still really happy with our trades last year.

I can't believe how far Felton has fallen. I thought he would have a career as a solid starting point guard but now he has been relegated to the bench.

I think he will bounce back at a new team and be solid, if he gets the chance.

Ideally that Portland pick will come to us the same year we have to give up our pick to the Bulls and they will both be within a pick or two of each other.

I can. He's really not very good. Never has been.

I think the Timberwolves need to trade away Beasley- DWill has looked solid when he gets starter minutes- and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that DWill will be the better of the two in the long term anyways.

They're trying! There were talks of the lakers getting him for a weak pick. The Lakers cited his measly salary as the reason not to go through with it, and you know they could use him off the bench.

I heard today that Westbrook has never missed a game in his professional career.

Impressive.

If Minny just wanted to dump Beasley, I'd say send them Diaw. We get to see what he can do for us and if it doesn't work out, we lost nothing.

Post #369 » by **Diop** » Sat Mar 3, 2012 1:01 am

They wanted both of Lakers 1st round picks for him, so I don't think they just want a straight dump.

We're going to need to give them something of value and I can see them asking for Hendo or picks.

True, true.

I'd give them Diaw, Najera, and the POR pick for Beasley and Ellington. Or just Diaw if we can do the unthinkable; waive the golden son.

Ray will be a starter again, but he cost himself a lot of money this year.

I'm fine with the Wallace trade, but the right time to move him was after the All-Star season. His value was at an all-time high and we weren't fully committed to winning.

I wouldn't. Why would we want Beasley? Especially with Silas' "shoot or I'll sit you" approach. That wouldn't make him play defense

I don't know why we would want Beasley but I certainly want him. Beasley in a Bobcats jersey doing 25 a night might convince me to make the trip to Charlotte this year for a game.

Either that or Cho signs Allen Iverson.

Przybilla is tipping in shots and diving and hustling for loose balls, stuff he never did in his short time here. Can't stand that guy!

If you were an old lanky white man at the end of a contract, would you dive for balls on a crappy team?

Can't say that I blame him. Portland should have just sent us the cash to buy him out so he could have resigned after a month.

Did you guys see the Lebron Caption this Picture thread on the general board?

A personal favourite.

I hope the Celtics wipe their ass with the Knicks tonight. A good start to the game so far.

I wouldn't and can't say I blame him but I just can't like him.

The C's could have went up 20 in the 3rd quarter and let the NYK hang around and find themselves in a battle now.

Carmelo has never been the superstar he's touted as, but he's always been a clutch player.

Rondo's 18/17/20 game was just plain amazing. Before they said that jason kidd is the only player to ever have a 15/15/15 game, I was saying that no one else could have had that game this season.
