Anything less than LeBron is failure? Really? Wade, Bosh, Joe Johnson, whoever wouldn't be better than you boys Randolph and Crawford? Get back to reality. You don;t build a team around those losers. I don't care if we sign nobody from now till 2050. A deal like this gives the team more room to operate with and once you're under the cap anything can happen. LeBron James is not the only prize of 2010. If you care so much about Randolph and Crawford, go follow their teams on the West Coast because them and their history of losing with the Knicks will not be missed.
Who said anything about building around Zach and Crawford? Actually read my post and then comment, that is how this whole forum thing works.
subzero, u said if we don't get Lebron any alternative would not be acceptable... is that right or am i misquoting u here?
So let me put this in big black and white, we are not going to get LeBron. Do you hear that MS, we are not going to be able to get Lebron (I know your reading this.) and anyone less is a failure.
i couldn't disagree w/u more... whether we get Lebron or not, this was the correct move to make... we now have so many options available to us that we didn't have before... Zach & Jamal weren't gonna lead this team anywhere... we needed to make a trade like this to open up other options in the coming years... now all that's left to do is dump Curry & to make sure we make good use of the draft pick this year.
If we dont get Lebron, how many of those options are going to enable us to win a championship? Our goal isnt to make the playoffs year after year only to be smacked down by better teams (ask D'Antoni and Walsh about this, they know it well). Our goal is to win a championship.
ur telling me that if we get Bosh & D Wade to come here & sign up a guy like Nash to the MLE (by then he might be open to a contract of that level to come play for a championship & for his former favorite head coach), & combine those guys w/a lottery talent in this year's draft like a Blake Griffin, Hasheem Thabeet, Demar Derozan, BJ Mullens, Brandon Jennings, etc., along w/the guys we already have on the roster like Chandler, Nate, Lee & Gallo, that we won't have a team that could seriously contend for an NBA title?
u just said it urself, our goal is to win a championship... why is getting rid of Zach & Jamal a bad thing when that's our supposed goal? those guys werent' gonna lead us to any titles, i think that much has been abundantly clear since they got here.

I gotta tell you guys, TMS makes the best case in what is to come. The key is 'our options are wide open'. If we get Lebron and another star and have something built around them, then we have a legit shot. And if we don't get Lebron, we most certainly can get about ten quality players, including two star like Bosh, Wade. And why should building a championship team stop there. There is another year after all this takes place to find even more talent.
You have to sign fair talent to minimum contracts, so they run out in time to get them. That is the way you protect the money. So far, in five signings, we can definately see that this is what Walsh is doing. Roberson, Duhon, Mobley, Harrington and Thomas all run out on time to the sweepstakes.
Some of us keep on explaining this over and over again and a again it just doesn't seem to get through some of these thick skulls.
I'll never trust this' team again.
