Duncan and Shaq have never had teammates as bad as the ones KG has had most of his career (except Steph as an 18 yo and one season w/Spree and Cassel, which worked well for them). But this is pointless anyway because the media is the only one talking about Isiah giving up the future for KG. The media also talked endlessly about us getting K-Mart, C Webb last year, and anything that sells papers.
What we need are OUR OWN active young players who do NOT need maintenence, ahev WEIGHT problems and care about playing.
I don't mind trading for Steve Francis. Im against the grain here saying its a very good swap--a no-brainer. Im scared that marbury is going to go shot on us here, he's been dealing with injuries for years and as he turns 30 next year--it may be catching up to him. Steveie has less miles traveled.
If I was running things I would DEMAND jerome Jmaes to lose 40 pounds this summer or threaten him with holding back pay die to a provoision in the collective bargaining agreement. I would also approach Eddy Curry about the same thing--in fact I would be VERY willing to TRADE Curry for the right package. I think he clogs the middle--the game has changed a bit, its much more of a fluid game now, his skill level isnt on par with the game. Just look at last night--id rather have a guy like Kristic to put together with Frye. More skills, more fluidity more agility NO maintenence.
They are going to have to do something this offseason to get Isiah and LB on the dame page. lB is crying he has to many young guys? Am I watching the same team that got fckd up and dunked on AGAIN by the nets with
Francis--29
marbury---29
Rose---33
Taylor---29
M rose---31
Crawford--26
Q---26
Frye --22
Curry--23
------avg nearly 28 years old that is NOT young.
