If the Heat can hide Bibby's defense, I guess they can hide Shard's too

Its about the system, BOOZER starts for CHI and they are a juggernaut on D.

We couldn't hide his defense. That's why we kept getting into big holes early in the game

Ah, Big Z. I wish he was on our bench this year. I would've liked to see him win a championship.

StrengthNHonor wrote:Well, I wanted Camby for the MMLE and not Ray Allen, if you remember my posting. Simply because there's a lot of G/F available and they are not hard to sign for cheap. All they have to do is be able to shoot the open 3 ball and play some D.

But once we got Ray Allen, we were out of the Camby running and committed to small ball. We can't trade away our guys for him. I know you don't like Norris Cole, but he played well for us in the playoffs for a rookie. He also had the confidence to take, and hit, some big shots in the Finals. Our PG position is solved for a long time at both the starting and backup roles.... not to mention giving up Anthony PLUS a pick ?

Basically, if Camby got hurt (he's 38 yrs old), no Camby, no Joel Anthony, what would we have left? Pittman? Maybe Riley brings in a guy like Krylylo Fesenko? and our backup PG is some old scrub veteran, back to signing Mike Bibby's ? I heard someone suggest Dooling.... Cole > Dooling

Plus the 1st round pick is going to be in the teens. We may be able to get a decent player for us next year in the draft. It could be a Center.

It's just too much to give up for a 38 yr old Camby, and that's coming from someone who was saying forget Ray Allen, give the MMLE to Camby.


Did you see how much Camby eventually signed for? It was more than the MMLE. The only way we were getting Camby was a sign and trade. Was trying to tell people this for the longest time. You can't get a quality big for the MMLE. Pat has gone with getting the best player available who can help the team the last two years on that. It would be nice to get a center that plugs that hole. But for the MMLE you won't get one that is better than Joel.

Incidentally...how many freaking sign and trades can these New York teams make? Jesus. Say what you will about us, but we very much play within the rules of the system for the cap. It seems like the New York teams are just mocking those rules because they don't care about the luxury tax whatsoever.

It's going to be hilarious when they still can't beat us, are paying the luxury tax in huge amounts, and have no draft picks to get better.
