someone explain to me why we need another combo guard when we already have Crawford and you can even argue that Steph is another combo guard. What we need is a real shooting guard who is 6'6'' and can play perimeter defense.
we have 2 guards on this team - marbury and crawford. that's it (penny's done). we NEED a combo guard unless you're happy giving marbury 40 mins and night. now, with that said, we can probably draft a good one with our lotto pick but that pick seems to be dropping by every win so who knows who's available.
so this is a deal AFTER the draft.
jyd and malik are redundant. mo taylor and sweetney are redundant.
i don't like rose but isiah tried to get him b4 so he may try again.
i was looking for a deal that would give us a legitimate backup PG/SG while reshuffling our roster by removing our PF glut AND opening up a roster spot so a rookie doesn't have to go on IR all year.
the reason for the 2006 pick is b/c it's late b/c it's the spurs pick. and it's a weak draft. we can always buy a #1 next year IF isiah sees a player he likes.
i don't think it's a far fetched trade and it does balance out our roster a little better. then when penny and tim are up, we can let them go without any hesitation b/c we have rose to fall back on (if we don't get a combo G/SF in the draft).
neither team takes on more $$$'s or more years.
if you watched jalen rose this year, he's come up BIG EVERY 4th quarter for toronto. he's has a bad rep so management wants him out but apparently, he's very fan friendly, and he does produce.
oh, and for the mo taylor trade supporters, rose has MORE VALUE.
