and LaMarcus Aldridge is a BILLION times better than Antonio McDyess. That's EASILY supported by facts.
Aldridge: 21 year old 6'11'', 2nd pick in the draft. 17.4 ppg., 7.4 rpg., 1.5 apg., .8 spg., 1.3 bpg.
McDyess: 34 year old 6'9'', and had multiple knee surgeries. 9 ppg., 8.7 rpg., 1.3 apg., .9 spg., .6 bpg.
Yeah, the fact don't support me.

I'm not a global mod, I can't delete anything here. Besides, even if I were, I'd probably leave the thread here for everyone to see. You've not only made some incredibly ludicrous statements, you've resorted to name calling when you got called out on them.

McDyess was also the 2nd pick in the draft, but you knew that, right?
and his multiple knee surgeries are OBVIOUSLY affecting his play today, yes?
Aldridge is 22. Antonio McDyess is 33. You claim a 13 year difference, when in reality it's less than 11 (Aldridge will turn 23 before McDyess turns 34). Math is certainly your strongpoint.
(insert rofl emoticon here).
Please, use stats to support your arbitrary value assignment of FIVE-FOLD SUPERIORITY and fail to read them for what they are!
Seriously, just give up. This looks dumber with each passing post. I'll trade you Mo Evans for Pau Gasol, sure the numbers are off, but you have to remember that Evans is the #5 option on his team while Gasol is the #2 option on his.
Take this stuff to the trade board and see how quickly you will get laughed off. Aldridge is already better than McDyess, as the stats have already shown, and he has not even scratched the surface of his talent. Meanwhile McDyess is 2 or so years from retirement. If you think a deal headlined by McDyess can get you anywhere near Beasley or Aldridge, by all means, ask some neutral third parties.
Of course I am a neutral third party because I do not root for any of these teams, but what do I know?

I have a problem with that last part. If I offered Antonio McDyess, Amir Johnson, Arron Afflalo, Cheikh Samb, a first-rounder and two second-rounders for LaMarcus Aldridge, Jarrett Jack, Sergio Rodriguez, and Joel Pryzbilla...I'd be laughed off the phone? Really? Wow.
You said this? Right? It is dumb. I read real good.

lol that trade is terrible for miami..the only way you can pick swap is if you give us brand and you take back blount and haslem...otherwise, wed rather just have beasley
