Which one do you guys consider to be untouchable?

Biz is the most untouchable one.


If we trade any of those three Im going to flip out unless we get something fantastic back, and the Nets don't have anything that interest me.

I'd flip out too. I'm already flipping out at the thought of us even being interested in Afflalo still.

The mere thought of trading Lance and any of our young post players for someone like Brook Lopez makes me sick to my **** stomach.

I think we can get Afflalo for almost nothing though. We would have to give up a significant asset or two to get Lopez, and Im not a fan of his, at all. As soon as we trade for him he will break his damn foot off again, guaranteed.

Id be interested to see how a team goes about getting "intel" on opposing players. Digging into their personal lives and such. Kind of fascinating.

I have stood by Cho, and have never said a bad word about the man. However, if we trade any young assets for Lopez or Afflalo, he should be canned immediately

We'd have to trade Lance and something else for Afflalo the same way.

That is a good trade for us. Lamb has potential to be a solid pro and is much cheaper

If you think about it, Brooklyn is a MUCH better fit for Lance so you guys better expect him to blow up there. He can throw lobs all day off the PNR to Plumlee and both DWill and JJ can hit threes.

Honestly, it's unclear to me what we really asked him to do. Once it became apparent that he couldn't shoot but liked to control the ball, there really wasn't any way for us to use him.

Imagine how much more we could get out of Lance next year if we keep him. He would be a 24/25 year old with all-star potential on a 9 million a year contract with a team option that could make him an expiring. I guess we couldn't wait that long since we are competing for a title this year... oh wait...

Would you guys trade Lance Stephenson for Chris Anderson and Mario Chalmers? :wink:

At the end of the post-game interview, he's ask if he wants to stay in here (related to all the trade talks)

And, he says "yeah definitely etc..."

But, he kinda looked reluctant before answering the question.

I really like what I saw from Stephenson today actually and I'm pretty sure he could find a good role with the bench! We need those kind of guys #McBob. I just hope he'll start to feel good in Charlotte.
