After they traded players to us?

Just curious. The league is getting stronger because all the malcontents are being consolidated onto one team. I fully expect Darius Miles to be a key factor in our future rebuilding/destruction

Orlando has become amazing.

an email i sent this morning to two douchebags:

in less than two years since dealing with isiah:
1. pheonix is one of the best teams in the league
2. chicago has a ton of youth, still make the playoffs, 4 picks (2 unprotected #1's) and a ****load of caproom
3. toronto is now under the cap and is ready to become one of the best young teams in the league
4. ditto for orlando

WTF has he done? WTF is he going to do? i hope his silence means he's being lead to the slaughter.

I agreee, but I don't think it will work with us because we have too many of these guys.Our situation is unique and it requires a philosophy change which inclues shippping nearly everyone out and replacing them with role players and giving power to our coaching staff. One player addition or subtraction here probably will not make much of a difference.

Since trading with us, Atlanta, Houston, Milwaukee, and SA (which was already great) are no better. The rest either are better or will soon be better (Toronto, Orlando, Phoenix, Chicago). 4 out of 8 got better. Those 4 certainly knew how to get a lot out of Isiah, while the other 4 didn't.

It's so mind boggling that I've stopped being angry.

Milwaukee will be real good soon too. That's 5 teams. No way to sugarcoat this.

Jerome will be a superstar for the final week of his contract. You have to have patience Bip.

San Antonio needed a power forward.

Nazr was the STARTING power forward for a championship team. YEah we made them better.

Nazr plays C. I don't think I've ever heard anyone else say he was the difference maker in their championship but you're certainly entitled to that opinion.

Ok, he was the starting center on a championship team.

Think they win it all with Rasho? Really?

Was he the missiong piece, yeah, I said it.

Why the phuch not, they won it all. he made them better by being on the team and filling a need.

He was not the savior, but he contributed as a solid role player.

difference maker? Why argue semantics with a snit meister?

Ok, how about we freed up the money that they needed to re-sign Parker and Ginobili to long term deals. Did that make them better in the long run?

Plus Nazr helped them secure their top seed in the west when Duncan went down for a few weeks at the end of the regular season. And you can't downplay the fact that he was their starting center.
