if they can really get Kwame for Q, like Nike says, Do it, ultimately we can look at it as Nate R and Kwame for KT. We need a big so much more than we need a G. If we can get Kwame and Channing playing at optimum levels, than I think we are much better off going forward. It may not be the popular decision, it could be thw rong dcision, but is the decision that ultimately is worth doing--going for it.

I still believe that a G rotation of Nate Marbury Crawford Ariza and perhaps another G like Badsen on the cheap is very good. We need another quality body upfront. Call kwame a bust, but he still was set to breakout after going 10-7 2 year ago. At 7-0 260, he has the ability to be very good. I think for where we are, for what is age is and a guy who still has very very high potential--who may have been in the poorest of situations, if we can get him here SOON get him working with mark A along with Channing, then I think we the guys hit their upsdie, we would THEN have a good shot for the playoffs. I think kwame CAN give us 15 and 8 from the 5 NEXT year--if Channing can also go 14+7 and together their length could disrupt other teams offenses playing together.

Were playing with house money with Q. Hell I would have been thrileed getting Nate Robinson straight up for KT.

We have to go out and get a big, it wont be easy the market is rediculous, we have to pay the piper and if the piper is Q than go for it. Q can be replaced.

If we're keeping Marbury, we need to take a more proven Big. Magloire would be most people's choice, but the jury's still out if he's attainable. I'd rather take Jerome James or Stro before Kwame. He has potential, but unless we're SERIOUSLY rebuilding, Kwame's not worth the risk just yet...

we could still trade Q before the season. it's a 60 days waiting period so that would be august somewhere.

it would be CRAZY but it could happen.

and you know what briggs - i agree. for all the things we go nuts about stro for - i think kwame can be better and if given the minutes, could post up better numbers now.

BUT the big thing with kwame is his health - that has been his biggest flaw. can he stay healthy?

and the only reason i would consider this is b/c we have NATE in the house and sweets isn't the one being moved. and washington is now in a position of WEAKNESS.

this would be a BALLSY BALLSY move by isiah and one that tells everyone that dolan is ok with rebuilding.

isn't it funny how they just let hughes go like that - without ANY type of compensation. ernie is not that dumb. i think there were other deals lined up or being aggressively talked about to make losing hughes more acceptable.

why?

for all of you Kurt thomas haters, i'm glad that he will now play in a winning environment so you can stop with the Trade Kurt threads.

The same way you harped on what we didn't have last year will be the same way you will harp thi year. If you lose your best inside player then guess what you have left.

a team of 40% shooters and no rebounders

maybe teams don't expect anything out of their number 1 picks. ahahahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

ask Washington if he is a bust



hahahahahahahahaha

he probably shouldnt have been a #1 pick, i'm not disputing that. But in no way is he a BUST. He is still a legit, capable, young, athletic CENTER with a great upside. Now tell me how he is a bust rather than making yourself look dumb by laughing at every response without backing up anything you say.
