Crawford/McGrady 2.0 telling us everything we want to hear. At least I get to see him beat on Eastern Conference PF's.

Gallo and Amare are better than any two players the Cavs, or Bulls had and all Miami has is Wade

Horrible move. Now instead of us going for draft picks we are going to be good enough to make it to the playoffs year after year but not good enough to become a championship dynasty or even win a championship. Not bad enough for a good draft position. Perennial playoff losers. Get ready for another decade of suck.

I would think a decade of making the playoffs would be quite an improvement. How many times did we make the playoffs in the 2000s?

Besides that, when was the last time we were a championship dynasty?

40 years... if you agree this == dynasty: 3 finals appearances in 5 years (2 wins), conf finals in all 5 years.

Maybe he would've preferred Zach Randolph... that's formidable.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I think he's the guy who was really anti- the Randolph trade. At this point I'm not surprised- there's always someone who takes the other side here, regardless of what our move was.

Last time I mentioned this noone really noticed. We got Amare for pretty much Jordan Hill and 1 future first rounder. Now if we didn't make that trade back then , at this point S+T would be our only option to get a 2nd allstar. And after we'd give up an arm and a leg, our roster would not be comparable to say, Chicago's. You know they would want Gallo and Curry's expiring just to even start talking trade with us. We would not even be in the Lebron sweepstakes at all. Imo , Jordan Hill trade already justified itself with Amare signing.

How can you forget about the fact we had to trade superstar Jared Jeffries as well ? lol
