BRIGGS * Delete post es. Vote for whoever you want--for whatever reason you want 1. Michael Beasley F Anyone else out there who can show me a 7 footer * Delete post who can show the same skills as this kid shows? Again this is a 7 footer with extremly long arms. I'm staying in the camp we need a big man--guard are much easier to acquire. Briggs, I know (and knew) you like him, but until his last 4 games he had done nothing this year that demonstrated the talent/raw ability that BOTH of us think he has. That is all I was pointing out. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee

Yes but the time to even try to attempt to acquire a guy is BEFORE he takes off. Once he takes off it's all over. We do have a nice borderline all star PF that will be very tough to retain and a guy that they wanted for pick 5---I have to think that in a win now mode--we can atleast get into a conversation that might go somewhere.

He can't shoot, why would D'Antoni want him?
No matter how good the guy is and I do like him very much, he isn't coming here cause he can't shoot. Does he have the makings of a jump shot at least? The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

Whenever I have seen him I have been impressed at some of the things he can do for a big man. I also like the comparison to Camby. If McGee can ever develop an automatic go to shot like a hook, be can be a monster. the dude is still a project for the blizzards. as noted, gets quick fouls among other things. not sure how much he understands the whole game yet. i can see it now though... knicks get him and he puts up the stats he does for wash and folks would rip on him. GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

I'm talking bout in the off-season....The Cavs aren't going to trade Lebron this year, at least I don't think they will. A packedge of Caron, Mcgee, Blatche and Young for a newly signed Lebron is fair. I think Arenas/ Jaimison/Lebron would be a tough nucleus to contend with.... Bur I'm just speaking hypothetically....

PS wasn't jordan hill supposed to do all the stuff mcgee does? now we're going to overpay for a guy who apparently does the same things (blocks shots, is a true 5, etc etc). #Knickstaps

Would Washington give up all that talent for a one year rental of Lebron? mr zero never played d before his knees were smoked and isnt the same guy on o yet, if ever. his last few games without the ball he has looked lost, and they pulled him in the 4th in the mia win. boykins took over, a real pg for them they signed off the street (real compared to gil, gil is no pg). stuff can change and maybe he can get his o back in line. dont think his d will ever show up though. i would bet the blizz would rather dump gil than butler if they could.
