I can't believe this. We're going to make a panic trade because the Nets might be a .500 team now; in this panic trade we're going to give up one of the only shut-down defensive wings in the NBA for a 38-year old former MVP who plays no defense. And people here are falling over themselves to defend it.
I forgot did shump suddently get healthy? I mean the 2012-2013 season shump is a non factor anyway. Its actually a risk for the suns because who knows if he will be the same anyway
It's not just about next year, for all the talk about "2-year windows" the team as currently constructed should be able to compete for the next 4-5 years at least.
Clearly having an outstanding offense is more important than being undersized by 2 inches at one position on defense, no?
We're going to base what our offense could be based off of the **** show last season? We had no training camp to massage Tyson into the offense, no pg for half the season, and then Melo quit on MDA. And we still finished with our best record in over a decade.
I have a lot more confidence in finding a perimeter defender than a two-time MVP. I also have confidence in that dude we have patrolling the paint.
I have no confidence that we can replace what Shumpert does and Tyson is only one guy, he can't do it alone.
Well all we do know is that he played last year in a lockout-shortened season and led the league in assists on a crap team. That's worth a little bit, right?The fact is, Rose is out for potentially the entire year next year, the Celtics are only marginally better and Wade kind of looks like he's breaking down. Need to strike while the iron's hot.
Hell, I agree. Offer Nash the MLE and tell him play with us or win 30 games a year in Toronto. Boston was still better than us last year and even though Wade is breaking down we don't have anyone who could stop Chalmers let alone Wade.
Now the joy of my world is in Zion
How beautiful if nothing more
Than to wait at Zion's door
I've never been in love like this before
Now let me pray to keep you from
The perils that will surely come
