Brent Barry Anyone? 

Post#1 » by S.I.C. GM » Fri Feb 22, 2008 3:51 pm

Since we didnt trade VC, we might as add one to improve our chances in the Playoffs.

We couldnt get Miller. Even though he seems done, we do need a shooter.

Eh, I don't know...Honestly I don't think this team will make it pass the second round, but that's just me. I always thought that if and when Kidd was traded, we should completely rebuild through trades and drafting. I don't want to be stuck in mediocrity, the worst place to be in...Brent doesn't improve our chances for the lottery plus I'm pretty sure he would want to go to a team with a better shot at winning it all then us.

I can't see why he would sign with us , although i'd like to take him .

I think he'll try to win another ring and we are a bottom playoff team , doesn't make much sense for him.

I wish we could pick him up...this sucks....and to make matters worse, The Cavs picked up Billy Thomas, who supposedly has a decent shot.

You remember when we picked up Billy Thomas this year and he didn't hit a single shot ?

They only picked up these D-League guys because of the trade yesterday .

The new players aren't there yet , Billy and the other guy will get waived soon .

I remember that quite well, that's why he went from taking first class flights and staying in 5 star hotels while on the road with the Nets to riding the greyhound and staying at Motel 6!!!

Why would you want Brent Barry? Even with Brent we're not going anywhere past the second round.

Basketbrain or whatever the **** his name is (i can't keep up) is exactly right.

Why would we want to improve!

Let's stop playing in the East and move to the West where we'd be guaranteed to lose to like 12 of the teams in the Conference.

Ok... I'll stop dreaming.

We're making the playoffs as a stupid #8 or #7 and losing to Boston or Detroit.

What fun!

I haven't watched him at all this season because he was a spur.

But according to his career scouting report, it sounds like he is what we need. He's supposed to be a long versatile shooter who can also handle the ball. Not sure what he is now though.

I think we are shaping to pick up Allan Houston to help with three point shooting.
