Why not Bynum, AL, Smoove, CP3 and Teague & Jenkins(off the bench)?

So once you sign Smoove to a max contract and have Al at 12 million, Teague at 6million you can only get one of Bynum or Paul and neither are comming because they can get more monney from their current team and have as good if not better chance to win with their current team.

With Smoove and Al you only get one max guy or two 10 million guys to fill out the roster.

Miami Heat have 2.5 and lost to a deep Maverick team led by one star player, and just barely beat a young, inexperienced, well put together Thunder team.


That Dallas team had to suck to get to draft that one star and the Thunder 2007 Durant 2nd pick of the draft, 2008 Westbrook 4th pick of the draft and 2009 Harden 3rd pick of the draft. How are we going to get 3 top 4 picks in the next three drafts to do what the thunder did?

My point is that there are always variations and possibilities to create a winner. We have so many possibilities right now on what we can do with our roster, let's not make a MAJOR mistake in trying to build this thing.

Especially when dealing with an indecisive primadonna with 0 rings.


You mean like LeBron was two years ago or Shaq was when he left Orlando


We have the misfortune of being in the same division with LBJ and the super friends; I'd rather take the long road of drafting well and signing smartly so we can take over just as the SuperFriends are past their primes.



Horford and Josh are a year younger that LeBron and two years younger than Bosh.. Guess who will also be past their prime when Lebron is done winning rings.

It looks like Brooklyn seems to be moving on from Dwight howard. Reports say they are near a deal with Lopez. If they sign him Dwight dreams would be officially dead. With the nets moving on do u think the hawks became front runners to trade for howard. He have already said he doesn't want to go to the Lakers.

Corley, I'll just say I respectfully disagree with your previous assertion.

But, I look forward to seeing the moves that Ferry is able to pull off in the next few years and debating them with you in the future.

til then

Viva la HAWKS!!!! :D

And to answer the thread question:

I would not trade for D12 without a commitment. Too risky that we end up with nothing.
Howard's own indecision caused this mess.

He'll have to pull a CP3 move and sign an additional one-year extension to garner a trade anyplace but Houston. Nobody wants to trade for the drama of 12 straight months of more Dwight Howard indecision.

If Bosh isn't healthy enough to play, the Heat lose that series or better yet, if Westbrook played like a true pg instead of a scoring guard or Harden didn't disappear, then they lose to Thunder.

We can make build a better team if we hold out and sign/trade for the right players.


In what world are the Thunder NOT a team with 2 superstars? Top 3 player and Top 10 player =/= two superstars?
