Our needs in order of importance:

1. Big body to play with dwight and when dwight is on the bench. We gave up a 10 point lead this game when dwight came out.

1b. A PG. A starting PG would be nice but i think we can get by with a decent back up not named Arroyo.

2. Upgrade at shooting guard which is something i believe we can wait on till next season.

Dwight has a right to be pissed. We totally forget about him as the game goes on. He gets all his numbers in the first quarter.

To anyone who watches SVG's post game conference, please post on here a paraphrase of what he said.

I've gotta hear what this chump has to say.

If we trade for a PF and put Shard at the 3 and Turk at the 2, we would have much more success IMO.

That explains it. Trade Dwight.

And sign Sprewell and play him at the C, it looks like he could use an NBA contract. :rofl:

...but he'll be away from our team and our coach. It'll be a good escape for him. Hopefully he'll come back re-energized.

i will get flamed till the end of time for bringing this notion up, but at what point can you say d12 has an attitude/ego, he had problems with b.hill and now svg about the same issues...

i agree with dwight. he needs the ball. end of story. its been 4 freakin years where we ignore him in the post. play defense and grab rebounds. i am sick of it. maybe if we had someone like kobe and lebron or chris paul or nash i'd tell dwight to do that. but this team will never go anywhere in the playoffs with hedo and rashard trying to lead the show on offense.
