there is a reason why we went 13-1 and why Denver is going to ebg 12-3-- AND we weretn even using pieces like randolph and mosgov correctly
this is not team this is two guys with fancy names who score points and not much else. look at their stats tonight--same deal
Unfortunately, many of the younger guys around here could not see the comparison to the McAdoo/Haywood disaster when they were having wet dreams thinking of an Amare/Anthony pairing.
The bordering on lunacy certitude of some who wrote that the trade was a no-brainer, and the smug and mocking tone directed toward those of us who opposed the trade annoys me even now, and will surely be the motivating factor for future sarcastic comments coming from my direction.
ADDED- Unfortunately, this franchise has been set back a number of years, IMO, and our "big 3" includes two players in their prime and one past it- who are most likely never going to be better than they are now or were in the past. Anthony might do some weight training if motivated, and yes, this would help his, but that is about it, and he has never shown the propensity to work on his body.
Gallo and Mosguv have a lot of room for growth as players, as does Wilson, to a lesser extent, and Felton was a PG who had yet to reach his peak under MDA's guidance.
The more I watch Denver the more I believe that our better strategy would have been to call Anthony's and Denver's bluff, and only give up Chandler and whatever, or just wait till FA, but our best strategy would have been to simply keep what we had and go gangbusters after some help in the back court and a defensive C.
