If the grizz get Iverson.. 

Post#1 » by Houston Suns » Thu Jul 2, 2009 9:55 pm

I was thinking if you guys got Iverson, yall would have 4 guys who want to score 20 a night and needs the ball to do so, obviously thats not going to work. So I was thinking one of those guys would become available. I know Mayo(next kobe) isn't going anywhere, and yall are stuck with Randolph. So I was thinking Gay would be easiest to move. I really want Gay on the Hornets, he could be the reliable 3rd option that we need. And cp3 would make him look much better.
So i was thinking something like

Gay, Jaric
for
Posey, Wright, Devin Brown future 1st(lottery protected)

Posey would be a good fit, around all those scorers, he can knock down the three, he's a glue guy, he plays defense, and he knows how to win.
Wright is good when he gets minutes, he's active, and has a developing jumpshot.
And yall would also get rid of Jaric's contract, and get a 1st.

ZBo, The Canswer and Posey?

It's like someone up in the sky really hates me right now. How else could the 3 players I absolutely despise the most would end up on the Grizzlies.

What did I do to deserve this if it happened?

For Memphis fan, Rudy Gay is much more valuable than Chris Paul. Understand?

So, stop coming here and whining to ask giving up Rudy Gay for BS trade baits from NO.

I have been sick of your damn interest on Rudy Gay.

Just NO! No trade of Rudy Gay no matter what happens including Iverson coming~~

So assuming the Grizz get Iverson, the next logical step is to shoot themselves in the foot by making a terrible trade? I don't understand that "logic"

You cant be serious!! More valueble than Chris Paul?? Thats the most stupid statement I've ever heard in my life.
Chris Paul been to 2 allstar games, mvp runner up, and is a top 5 player in this league. Rudy Gay not even a top 20 player in this league. Don't over value a player, just because you have a man crush on him.
And i dont care if you're sick of my interest in Gay, because your ignorant opinions doesnt matter to me.
And i can almost guarantee you, if yall sign A.I...Rudy would not be back in Memphis after next season, he will definately sign with another team..understand?
I know the trade I offered wasn't great, but that doesnt mean Gay is not movable.

I know the Grizz organization must seem a little dysfunctional from afar? It is the same view from within the city, but signing an aging icon would not necessitate trading Rudy to have harmony on the court. That is just silly. It is about as likely as New Orleans losing both the Hornets and the Saints to relocation in less than five years. It is plausible but not likely, but I'm pretty sure you are not too interested in talking about that.

Just move on.

Oh... you said you guaranteed??? Fine! I'll see you if Rudy comes back in Memphis roster next season even though Iverson signs with Griz. I didn't say Gay > Paul in the league, only for me. You don't understand English do you.

I don't care your damn interest in Gay too b/c eventually it's just your pipedream. Posey, Wright... they have to be thrown away to a rubbish bin, and you want to get our most precious player for this garbages? Ha Ha Ha... you're insulting Memphis fans.

I clearly just said, that the trade i offered wasnt a good trade. I juss put it up there, to gauge rudy's value. Because I didnt know how much he was worth to the Grizzilies, because I am not a Grizzilie fan.
Rudy is clearly your favorite player, you would prolly turn down a deal for Carmelo, Lebron, or Wade if they mentioned having to give up Rudy. So i wont discuss trading Rudy with you further, since it seems like a sensitive subject for you.
FYI to most grizzilie fans that i know, Mayo is yall most precious player, not Gay.

Hey houston suns, we dont mind who you are but if you come that board to say we, grizz fans, dont want gay... you are wrong. who cares about chris paul? you say you dont mind what we got to say about "our ignorant opinions", why you came to post?Do you think chris paul will give you a champ with that team(hornets)? Gay neither but i dont mind. i like how this team improves.

Whoaaa I never said you guys didnt want Gay, I mean who wouldnt want Rudy. I was merely saying that it would be over crowded having 4 guys who wants to average 20 pts a game(and I'm sure gasol prolly would want like 12). And those guys(except gay and mayo) are not gonna score 20 shooting a high field goal percentage. Iverson is selfish, he only passes, if its a for sure assist. Randolph isn't gonna pass if he touches it. And im sure rudy and mayo is not gonna be happy with their number of touches going down, because they are young and they future contracts depend on how they perform, so i'm sure neither will be sastisfied averaging 15 and below.
Thats what I was really trying to say, I shouldnt have started it off low-balling yall with that horendous trade, and then trying to justify it, lmao.
And noooo I do not think chris paul can get us a championship with that team, why do you think im dying for our FO to make moves to improve.

butler >>>>>>> mayo :lol:
