I don't think they're comparable at all. Chalmers is a decent defensive, spot up shooting point guard (would look good in L.A. actually), whereas Collison seems more of a quick, slashing, distributing point guard.

I just don't know what to say. You want them to trade Chris Paul for literally nothing?


Sorry I should have explained it a little bit better. I was only using chris paul as a example to try and understand how the tpe works. I get it that they wouldnt just give us him for nothing.


Yes it is physically and legally possible for you to do that.

I don't think BC wants to be the gm that helps to create a team that will honestly be a threat to win the title every year. Look at the trade for Gasol. That was pure garbage.


Does Bosh want to go to Nets? If no then why bother with your point at all?

And clearly BC doesn't want to win, BC just wants to twiddle his balls continually, hence BC. And with your Gasol example, what do you want? you want the raps to take back Jarvaris Crittenton? Beasley is worth something, and if we get our pick back, that is worth a LOT next year. Better than what MEM got, and it may turn out better than what MIN got for KG given that they're looking to move Jefferson now.

on the Collison note, there is a rumor on the trade board

Collison and Julian Wright for Fernandez and Freeland

I'd like Collison and Wright for the Raps for sure, the Rudy rumor was for the 13th right?

I feel like that is a Portland pipe dream. Like most people have said, I could see a TPE for Collison and Okafor. But, god, we gotta get rid of jose and/or Turk if we're taking on Okafor's contract.

I'd rather make it Collison/Songaila/Posey than Collison/Okafor...especially if we get Beasley.

Maybe Colangelo's looking to join McHale as a sucker GM who gift wrapped a championship - although in McHale's situation, there was shared history b/w him and Ainge as Celtic teammates. Who knows why Colangelo continues to bestow upon Riley gifts that evoke incredulity?

Except Colangelo lost a bit of a chess game that took two years to develop whereas McHale lost at checkers.

Not defending BC, quite frankly I think he should be fired. But still, there's a bit of a difference. His hands are tied now.

Because most GM's think Bosh is going to Miami, and most likely he is just doing damage control to not get accused of tampering.

One could spin it though that Riley was still anticipating what would transpire this summer and was willing to stomach a season of two of middling mediocrity and pleading w/ Wade to be patient. Pat's crafty and sly - BC not so much although he would like the general public to believe in his now suspect reputation - wouldn't be surprising if Riley had looked long and hard at the near and distant (now present) future. Not a Riley apologist, but do think he's a slicker operator than Colangelo.

So you're thinking Source A leaked to Lebe-retard who couldn't help himself?

We should start a conspiracy theory thread for this now.

Bosh cut off his dreads to create a wig, which was placed on the head of a chris bosh look-a-like who was sent to Miami to shop for fake houses to get the media all riled up.

I've got sources too.

Reporter doesn't want to be accused of being the culprit in sabotaging this deal owing to tampering - covering his a$$ so to speak.

The way he said it's fake pretty well tells me it's real. What makes sense is he can't give away his sources too much. And keep in mind we have reports of other GM's thinking Miami is the place, but also we did hear from Stephen A Smith that Miami was a done deal for Bosh.

Do we really need four PG's (Jose, Banks, Jack, and Chalmers) and a bunch of PF's (Davis, Evans, Anthony, Beasely/Bargs, and maybe Amir)??

Just take Beasley and the trade exception. The other two guys are pretty useless. I remember when Bryan gave $2 mill to Maceo, which didn't seem like much but did take away from our cap space. All these small deals he takes on add up.
