I've been thinking about this and I don't have a problem with isiah trading this year's unrestricted- he should have stipulated that if this year's was a lotto pick, then the swap next year was off. I think Pax could have accepted that.
Last time i say this, but really--what wouldve been wrong with a top 5 protected pick and no swappy thing next year? Were teams breaking down Chicago's door for a player that was not insurable and no one touched in free agency? why did we bid against ourselves again? why couldnt we be more patient.
If I say the top 5 guys
Morrison
Aldridge
Gay
Carney
Sheld Williams
couldnt we use 1 of these guys?
I am not losing any sleep over not being able to draft any of those guys, especially sheldon williams, he doesn't impress me at all..
Yeah, me neither. Dont want Morrison--slow white guy--man he cant play nba basketball--oh and especially sheldan williams he stinks we couldnt use him on our roster jackie butler is better than him rudy gau hes got nothing on trevor ariza i mean we have all seen trevor monster jam on ben wallace you're right our players are great, we dont really need anyone we got all the bases covered.
Briggs I don't want sheldon williams at the expense of curry, neither do I want Morrison or gay at the expense of curry, that is the point, now if we didn't have curry, then we could use any warm body that would suit up for us, especially if we were a lottery team again. Understand? If we didn't have curry and drafted morrison we would need a center? right? so What the hell are you talking about Briggs?!!
Read the thread dude. Im saying we SHOULD have had TOp 5 protection on the pick, we shouldve been patient, NO team was giving Curry anything near what NY gave him, nor was any team giving up a solid young prospcet a number 1 and 2 number 2s. No reason to make it unprotected and no reason to swap picks. this was an act of stupidity--they thought that they were going to be good and they were wrong. Having some sort of protection is like insurance--and when you dont buy insurance you get fcked like we will.
