billy king is definitely breaking out in coldsweat.

Yep lol. He's out of there once Dwight goes to LA.

Oh well. Our rebounding will be tons better.

Our backcourt is putrid.

I don't know about giving TC that contract, but he is a defensive big. :-?

We really need a PG.

Drafting Darius Morris would have been a good look.

point is, a pg needs to be able to see the floor. shumpert had trouble in college doing that.

This signing is amazing for us. Chandler solves so many problems for this team, and his presence will be felt this season. I am so happy about this signing, we are now legit.

Let's go get Ridnour from Minny. With Rubio finally in the NBA, they have a major glut of PG's.

If Dwight goes to LA, we might as well just start rebuilding now

I wonder if he's wearing sweatpants because he just came from the gym or if he's been on the couch playing PS3 and hasn't showered for days?

Its a tossup

who tucks a t-shirt into sweatpants besides him and bill cosby ?

im shocked the best the Magic could do would be Andrew freakin Bynum.

LMAO

Our offensive efficiency, which wasn't that great to begin with, is going to take a nosedive unless Melo all of a sudden becomes Larry Bird

It's going to be ugly... This team needed a top flight distributor more than it needed Tyson Chandler.

That's why you weren't complaining about our defense and rebounding last season.

Zero offense.

They got Martin and Scola from Houston, which is pretty fair for Gasol. And all 3 of those guys are about the same age, with Martin being a little younger I think.

luke ridnour type. didnt check F/A list but that guy would get it done for us.

No coach can teach Amare how to pass. Melo's a MAYBE. But even then that's gonna be pretty tough. This isn't a 1-on-1 league.

what other assets do the lakers have...Bynum and..World Peace? and some picks i guess....not worth D12

I don't know, I seem to remember Melo almost single handedly beating the C's in game 2 without A'mare and Billups. Offense will be just fine, it was defense that was the problem. Today, that was partially solved in a big way.

As soon as Ridnour is on the roster, I'll welcome this deal with open arms. Until then, I don't think we get out of the second round

Mitch Kupchak used the date rape drug in both Pau Gasol trades, incoming and outgoing.

I cant believe anyone could disagree with signing chandler.

Everyone was complaining about our defense and rebounding.

Falstaffxx · Post #1780 » by **Falstaffxx** » Fri Dec 9, 2011 12:24 am

I don't agree that a "distributor" was a bigger need than a tough center. I think tough center was need 1a and distributor was need 1b. I'd have preferred to get Paul obviously because he's a premier talent, but if that's impossible then I think we targeted the right weakness for the biggest improvement.
