[Calinks]

What was the negative?

[revprodeji]

His trade value is no where near what his talent is worth. Not sure if that means a trade is less likely, or if we will even push it farther. His attitude is more of a concern than just with Wittman.

[Calinks]

So is it something he has specifically done or is it just that he has low trade value? IF that's the case then we can just give him good minutes this year and if he has worked hard he should be able to market himself. The man is a 18 PPG scorer if he gets his stuff together.

I worry he is getting the cancer label. The Zach Randolph label.

We know Shad is not that kind of guy. I think on a team that is trying to win would love Shad as a piece. On a losing team Shad is frustrated. I think he could be a very good 6th man,

I'm still hoping a pick 15-25, to be used on a big (first choice Hibbert). Anything worse (eg JJ Reddick, David Harrison) would be a disappointment.

[revprodeji]

Exactly. I do not see us moving him for a Harrison/Reddick deal because the contract is longer. At worst we just let Shad expire.

I think the BCS is Shad+Walker+2nd for a legit player.

I bet the Suns would take that for Diaw, depending on what they're able to accomplish in the draft. Any interest in Boris, Wolves fans?

[revprodeji]

We want a big defensive guy to help Al, and a 2/3 playmaker with range that could be a 2nd/3rd scorer.

I do not see Boris filling either of those roles. Sorry sir.

[deeney0]

No interest in Diaw from me. The contract is too huge, and I'm not sure what his role would be here, or if he'd be able to have the kind of impact he had on the Suns (even last year, when that impact wasn't as big.)

I wonder if that could get us Wally/19 from Cleavland.

[Calinks]

I agree that we need a big. I say, if nothing good comes along plug Shad into the perimeter threat role for the season. He is better for that than anybody we could probably get anyway without having to spend to many resources. He can sixth man it for a year here if we grab Mayo or possibly start if we get Beasley.
