First he leaves the amazing 04-05 team we had to go to Atlanta just so he could "be the man."

Now he leaves the Nets...a team we need to get more wins then us so we get a higher pick (Him leaving means they have less talent and will lose more games).

F U Joe Johnson!

At least now we have a team that is like the Suns reunion team in Miami. Now they can play a lineup featuring Dragic, Green, JJ and Amare.

A lineup that started Dragic, Green and Amare played really well the other night, and beat the Wizards by 20 (though it was the third game in three nights for the Wizards). Then the next game they beat the Pacers by 8.

That's ok. I'll counter with a lineup of Ennis/Bledsoe/WAS'16/MIA'18/MIA'21.

The nets dont have any reason to tank and could probably replace 11ppg JJ with someone better. What blows my mind is he could have been a jimmy jackson type of missing piece in OKC yet he goes to a non contending miami hit. Joe clearly never had his head on straight.

He should have went back home to Boston

I was kind of hoping he went to OKC. I wonder if Amare had anything to do with him going to Miami. You gotta think is favorite season was the first SSOL season with the Suns.

Just typing that makes my head whirl. It's like Sarver is one of those guys who does a big corporate takeover only to sell off arms of the company and different divisions to other companies for personal gain. Cue RDG.

Clippers-Kings games are always a treat. There isn't a call Cousins and Rivers don't argue.

Or he has always been more about the money than winning (it all). With a bit of luck that Miami team can do a bit of damage in the playoffs. Especially if Bosh returns somehow (which I don't see, but I m no doctor).

I still don't see why you guys would want him here.

I don't understand all the love for Curry, he only hit 2 of 8 two point field goals.

(no green font, becouse I hate that, but if you did not understand the sarcasm here, I can't help u)

Gorilla Warfare · Post #1789 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 12:30 am

He also made 9 three pointers and 3 four pointers.

Post #1790 » by **lilfishi22** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 1:25 am

Did someone say four pointers?

Mulhollanddrive · Post #1791 » by **Mulhollanddrive** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 4:20 am

Even if you banned 3 pointers (3 only worth 2) Curry would still be 25 PPG, 6 Assists, 5 Rebounds, 2 Steals.

Which is better than his MVP year.

Raptors To Waive Anthony Bennett, Sign Jason Thompson

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/241016/Raptors-To-Waive-Anthony-Bennett-Sign-Jason-Thompson

Maybe we should give Bennett a go? It could help our tank.

But seriously, maybe all he needs is some roids or HGH. Bring him to Phoenix, have a shady doctor inject him with some PED's (testosterone, roids, HGH, etc) and see if he gets in shape and gets motivated. :lol:

I'm kinda joking. I'm kinda serious.

Imagine if Beasley stuck a roids needle in his ass instead of a weed blunt in his mouth. He'd be an allstar!

RunSunRun · Post #1794 » by **RunSunRun** » Tue Mar 1, 2016 2:46 am

I'd give Anthony Bennett a shot, why not. It's not like we want to win any more games anyways

Gorilla Warfare · Post #1795 » by **Gorilla Warfare** » Tue Mar 1, 2016 5:39 am

Another one...

Boogie was going to test out his new Fatality, but decided using it on Adams wasn't worth it.

With the Warrior's incredible success, does anyone think we should have traded Amare for an upgrade at center while having Boris Diaw at the starting 4? Hindsight is 20/20 but we'd have been much better off defensively and Boris may have been the 2nd playmaker we had been looking for all along.

We almost won a ring without Amare in 05-06. That shows you how valuable he was to us.

We should have traded him straight up for KG and paired KG with Marion and Nash. Biggest mistake we made.

As for Diaw, a lot of us remember him with rose colored glasses. Yeah, he filled in at center for us and had a great all around game, but he was also a pussy and hated physical play. He got pushed around on the boards and lacked defense. He also didn't stay in shape.

That said, if we had a real Center at the 5 (even Garnett), then perhaps Boris' lack of rebounding and defense would be better covered.

I don't think it is sarcastic.

Given that prime Amare (a bonehead who didn't play defense but still an allstar and big name player) almost got us the #7 pick in the draft, if the Washington pick turns out to be #10-#12 and results in an allstar, it would be quite a heist.
