I think BRIGGS is all about finding a diamond in the rough, rather than taking established stars. That's the only thing I can figure. This just makes no sense.

Lou Williams wouldn't even start over Ray Felton... so in essence he's proposing we give up cap space in the next 2 years along w/Toney Douglas & future picks for a backup PG & 2 other bench warmers... ouch... seriously if anyone wonders why he gets ragged on all the time, it's stuff like this that causes it... i got respect for the guy's ability to scout talent late in the draft, but sometimes i'm not even sure if he's serious with these wild ideas that make absolutely no sense.

Im am 100% against ANY trade that involves AR or Gallo for ANYONE not named Kobe LBJ or John Wall--yes I would take John Wall over CP3--I have seen the light on him---he is going to be a top2-3 player in the game --it might take two years and homing his J but what John wall will be able to do will be breathtaking

So yes Im against Chris Paul because it will cost us AR or Gallo or worse both to get him when we already haev felton

I like Lou Williams as an impact 6th man--a very important position--so i feel we would be getting an IMPACT talent. I don't mind spending some cap4 or so mm next year to acquire Williams. I like the team we have I just know we have to add impact talent to the bench that can also start if need be.

I just happen to think very highly of Lou Williams--Im not advocating giving up that much either. I can lose TD and not cry about it.

well of course you take John Wall, the kid is an absolute stud at 19 years of age & he's as humble as any young kid that talented i've ever seen coming into the NBA... you once argued with me that Jimmer Fredette would be a better PG i'm glad you're seeing the light on him now... but you don't think CP3 is an IMPACT talent in his own right?

as for Lou Williams, you do realize that by making a trade of this nature, you're taking yourself out of the running for Melo in 2011... if you're gonna do that, the player you're doing it for has to be a helluva lot better than Lou Williams dude... CP3 is a player you can justify sacrificing the "2011 plan" for, but not Lou Williams... not even close.

No I don't--i spend 4mm in cap for 2011---did 4mm effect Chicago or Miami at the end of the day--not even close Im not worried about removing 4mm in cap space if need be and I can also work a S+T with Denver if they know its a lost cause.

we're already short on the cap to sign Melo in 2011 even w/o taking on any more contracts... in order to sign Melo we still have to shed another $5-6M off the cap... what you are proposing is we add another $4M to that amount, which would us in the hole even more... we had to dump a #8 lottery selected rookie, swap rights to a pick & another pick outright to shed $7M in salary last year & you want us to get back into the same hole for the sake of acquiring a backup PG for 2 years... wow dude.

So it would be almost like getting Wade. Who's in?

You fail to mention that the Wade you are referring to is not Dwyane Wade, but instead, Wade Duck.
