I'm glad walsh said he isn't inclind to make a trade unless it make us significantly better. He won't do a lateral IT trade (TT for KVH) just for the sake of making a trade..

oh for sure. I am thinking with a little polish he would be nice next to Amare.

He's not much better then any back up we have, If andy or roger were force to play 20 minutes, they can put up numbers similar to him..At this point were trying to get ahead, we have a healthy Felton and suitable back ups..

I'm not worried about felton burning out, don't compare him to Duhon (as far as burnout), he's 10x better, stronger, smarter, and quicker..

telfair is a true PG. he is a creative passer and with his ability to drive and kick...he would be a good fit IMHO. I would be curious to see what he could do under Felton/MDA. I'm not worried about his bad boy rep with Amare and Felton...the kid could actually live up to the hype...and if not, it's bye bye at the end of the season....kid still has upside and maybe could be had cheap

Rookie wrote:agreed with dat! but telfair does have the potential of upside...i would not give up even 1 rotation player for him though. i would however like to see what he could do under mda given 10-15 minutes regularly...just not sure what kind of deal would work...numbers don't match up...but i guess you could do cash? something like walker, mason or rautins and cash? if we send two players for one...someone would have to be cut...azubuike makes more then telfair, so that wouldn't work either....not sure how a deal works here is all i'm asking

....and if you enlarge the deal...could we get a 1st round pick which could likely be a lottery pick cuz nothing we are giving is gonna make them better this year...something like telfair and a 1st rounder for.(what?)

if we could get a 1st rounder included then it's definitely something i'd consider... of course, it all depends on the asking price as well... i'd probably go AR & a filler contract like Mason Jr. for Telfair & a 1st rounder if they'd do it... u think that's too much?

Rookie wrote:it's hard to watch our 2nd team at best...hold the game...but more then likely let a lead slip. while douglas is a defensive animal...he's better on the floor w/Felton..or another PG. He just isn't a PG and you can actually see when he has determined to shoot regardless and will not pass the ball.

I agree completely- I think maybe TD picked up a lot of bad habits from Nate. I like his work ethic and toughness, but I've been really disappointed with his PG abilities, and I guess Amar'e is too from the sounds of it (he was overheard in the locker room wondering how TD ended the game with no assists).

prob hit a game winner on a holiday game or 2.
