Nice intersting Oden analysis. He destroyed Noah as a rookie, If this guy can stay healthy....jesus. Perfect fit here.

Here's a name many won't be too familiar with but can light it up from 3: Cartier Martin. 6-6 with a 6-10 wingspan, so he can play the 3. If Ennis is sent overseas I wouldn't mind Martin getting Miller's old scrap minutes. The guy shot 40% from 3 on the freakin' Wizards last year, and has hovered around there the last few seasons. I'd imagine the looks he'd get on this team would notch that up a bit. He's 28, so not much of a potential guy, but I think he'd be a knockdown shooter for us who can do a little more than JJ.

Absolutely floored I'm seeing support for signing SJax. Are those of you aware of why he left SA? He's not even good enough for that headache anymore.

I can't imagine anything more humbling than getting cut from a team that went to a G7 in the NBA Finals where you hypothetically could have been what tipped the sides onto their favor.

Also this isnt the type of "headcase" where he fights team mates,gets a ton of techs, or he has legal issues.The dude loves basketball and felt like he could contribute and didnt like riding the bench.I can respect a guy who as one of the 500 or so best players in the world has a problem with not seeing any court time while he can still help a team.

He doesnt want to start or put up numbers, he just wants to be able to come in and get his 10 15 min a game and get to compete.

I'd say:

Beasley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all other 3

Odom>>>Johnson>Harrington.

Sjax was a wonderful player but he's lost the plot.

Odom and Beasley are both class players. I think Odom still has some of that class. He was one of the original play anywhere players he can play center, he can handle the ball and he's developed a 3ball. Question on him is motivation.

Beasley's skill is far above the others, offensively he could step on the court when Bron goes to the bench and create offense - something we can't always say about the Heat. Defensively he's not there but he does have the speed needed. Full circle and he gets a ring this season.

I don't give a flying **** if the previous Beasley experiment was a failure or not and whether you think he sucks or not, I'd bring him back in a heartbeat for the minimum, this guy is too talented to be out of the league this early. And who here actually thinks he's gonna destroy our locker room? He wasn't even that bad of a locker room guy before, if anything, it's all about that green stuff for Beas. And lol I dare Beasley to pull something **** around LeBron, Wade, Bosh, and our staff + Juwan

Beasley > Odom > Harrington along with Ennis is my wishlist. But hey, that's just me.

Honestly I'm starting to get a little angry about this Lamar Odom bull ****, what has he done in the last 2 years to suggest he can contribute anything positive to anyone? Especially more than someone like Ivan Johnson who has actually been good the last couple years.

Why are you guys talking about Beasley for the minimum?
Did the Suns waive him? I thought he signed for 3 years last summer.

He hasn't been waived but it will probably happen. Most really don't see the suns keeping him around.

Yeah.. Lets just go signing players who are too talented to be out on the market. Who gives a **** if they don't fit in our system, are good for the locker room, benefit us on both sides of the court and lets use the blind assumption of "let him try something with lebron, wade and Riley there"

Some of you say the craziest things.

Beasley will be a cancer on this team.
We don't want people who take I'll advised shots all day long and locker room headaches. He may be "talented" but he's not what we are looking forward.

Honestly wtf is wrong with some of you.

The new found admiration for Lamar Odom, Al Harrington and Beasley is unwarranted and just downright silly.

Riley kept Rod Strickland under control...one of the biggest thugs the NBA has ever seen and the guy was not a cancer AT ALL.

Ratchet_Rio · Post #257 » by **Ratchet_Rio** » Thu Aug 8, 2013 1:19 pm

I agree with G-Menn. Are you guys seriously clamoring for the likes of Odom and Al freakin Harrington? AL HARRINGTON? This isn't 2009, they're both washed up.

Now about Beasley the kid is talented but where do you find minutes for him?

ifrosty13 · Post #258 » by **ifrosty13** » Thu Aug 8, 2013 2:01 pm

No thanks to Beasley. He can do more bad than good at this point. Weak defense, Weak rebounder, Chucker with the ball. That ship has sailed.

ifrosty13 · Post #259 » by **ifrosty13** » Thu Aug 8, 2013 2:03 pm

.. and to think that in that draft there were players like Kevin Love, OJ Mayo, Russell Westbrook, Roy Hibbert, Serge Ibaka, Gordan Dragic... *sigh*

If the draft weren't rigged for Chicago we wouldnt be having this discussion. Then again the team might look nothing like it does now.
