What does Francis have to do with this?

because you're harping on all the extra money Isiah's taken on in his deals... you didn't have a problem w/it when we were discussing the Francis deal last week... i thought it was all about gathering tradeable assets? isn't that what you were saying a few days ago?



I have no problem with the steve francis trade, i mean who would? compare it to what we gave up for curry or marbury. we have 0 for a 2G we had a need and getting steve francis for nothing makes sense--spending 17mm on jalen rose? no sense unless it was toronto's pick. as a fan i dont care anymore because we got something, but really it was a crp deal UNLESS the pick ended up top 10 or so which it wont.

right now id be out trying to shop marbury crawford Q and Curry and thats all. No Kenyon Martin's no al harrington--i need to rid myself of this litter box and I dont want isiah doing it

i proposed it a while back, but if i could trade Marbury for KMart right now, i would... i understand your points about taking on money, & you're right in principle... but our current situation limits the types of moves we make... i think the best we can hope for is to make a move to improve the overall team chemistry... i think getting rid of Marbury & adding a passionate, defensive minded player like KMart would do that... outside of a fantasy KG trade, i don't see many other options for us at this point to make good of this current roster... i'm not interested in taking on Ratliff & Miles, because there's little upside to making a move to acquire those players... i think KMart can make a definite impact, & now that we have another star PG in Francis, i think getting rid of Marbury will have a positive effect on Q Rich & some of the other players too.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I dont want Kenyon Martin personally, for obvious reasons. I would trade Marbury for eddie jones.

Denver has had some really bad luck with injuries Nene, Camby (i guess not really), K-Mart, Lenard.....they did make some mistakes, could have had Amare and T-Prince, and Arenas instead of Nene, Skita (horrible pick) amd Miller

But Orlando is in business, the Grizzles had some bad luck with a draft pick otherwise West would have had them as a force, but what it comes down to is there are a lot of people that are not qualified to do the job and look at individual talent instead of collective talent.....

Sixers have a terrible GM he gives an extension to anyone and should not be employed, Atlanta has a terrible GM, the Blazers, the Knicks, the Magic did last year, the Raptors had one it has nothing to do with cap space a lot of these players don't have the stomach to man up and play in a big market, the bulls had no chance to get a great free agent because of their management.....

If Denver was healthy they would be close to elite but I know what your saying Miller needs to be in a conservative offense and they have no shooting guard they should have thrown more money at Ginobli
