but our F GM is to stupid to think of something like this he just wants to somehow pay al harrington 90mm$ trade for the gimp kenyon martin and his 70mm and keep all of our great stuff

throw bad money at bad money

when both those guys are playing on Allstar teams, i want you to remember what you just said... oh that's right... you want Carlos Boozer... a wise investment in a durable guy making reasonable dollars... oh wait, he's coming off an injury & he's got a ridiculously huge contract in his own right.

I dont want Kenyon because hes overpaid and permanently gimped. I dont see the need for Al Harrington, I dont think thats the wise way to go. Carlos Boozer is 24 and an elite level player in this league. He is rugged powerful and while he had some injury issues, they arent injuries that would prevent him from playing at the level he is now for a long time. Boozer could average 23-24-10 in this league. If they do go the vet route,, he would be my number 1 target. I dont see anyway to get Boozer, but thats another story.

Boozer is a lousy defender and is pretty unathletic. Elton Brand is an elite player. Boozer isnt in that territory. Boozer isnt even in Zach Randolph territory (yet). You want Boozer? Please... I bet my left nut Mo Taylor's expiring deal and David Lee gets it done on the first try.

I'm not farting for Sota unless I get Banks back. To me thats the whole point of this discussion.

thought the point of trading Steph was to remove a cancer

Banks is a cancer?

I'm talking solely about Steph. I'm of the opinion whether Banks is in the deal or not if Minny takes him we ship him. Seems fishmike wants Banks or no deal...I could be misreading him.

i'm not all that impressed w/Marcus Banks... i'd much rather have Mike James, who plays a harder nosed defensive style game, & has that Assassin's mentality to drive the dagger into the other team's heart when the team needs a big basket... we need more players like that on this team... Jamal can't bring that every night in the 4th quarter.

^ Ya, thats true.


But I hate Francis so much. I think his people should put out a restraining order on me. B/c I swear, if I see 1 more pass go flying 10 feet out of bounds, I'm gonna stalk his black ass.

I know marbury is not well liked and there are a lot of rumors swirling around. I have heard about him going to dallas, atlanta and Minnesotta. But there is one trade which I love. I don't know if Charlotte would do it, but, Stephon Marbury, Jackie Butler, Q1 and SA's #1 (or den's #1 if needed) for Brevin Knight, Gerald Wallace, and Melvin Ely or Voshkul (whichever Charlotte would rather trade).
This trade should wourk under the trade checker, I added up the numbers and I am pretty sure it is good under the cap and junk.
Our Starting Lineup
Center- Eddy Curry
Power Foward- Channing Frye
Small Foward- Gerald Wallace
Shooting Guard- Steve Francis
Poing Guard- Brevin Knight

I think this lineup would be perfect on offense and defense. Brevin Knight is a great perimeter defender and a pass first point guard who does not shoot a lot and still gets 12ppg. Francis is the scorer on the team, and will take most the shots, and will cover the less talented offensive guard. Gerald Wallace is a superfreak athelete who will shut down some of the elite players, and is a great defender, inside and out. He also can score because he is so atheletic, he has a OK jumper, but is a great finisher from what I have seen. He also is a good rebounder, in other words, he fills up the stat sheet. I see Frye getting the majority of the rebounds, and scoring around 12-15 ppg while grabbing about 8-9 a game. May god Help the Knicks and let Eddy Curry develop into a 18ppg and 10rpg player, but i doubt it will be next year, and i expect his numbers to be about 15ppg and 7rpg.

But, Why would Charlotte do this?
1. Raymond Felton is their future Point Guard and him and knight are both about 5'11 i believe, they won't be on the court on the same time
2. They need a person who can acutually score 20 ppg, which is Marbury's numbers through his career. He is also just big enough to be a undersized shooting guard.
3. Q-rich will replace Wallace at SF
4. Butler could become the starting PF, Primoz has basically no job security
5. They get the DRAFT PICK.

Haha.

G. Wallace has more value on the open market than Steph does right now.

Yes, we played awesome when he got injured...
