a great player and is starting for the spurs.

If this is any indication of his true value, then we had 5 pf's BEFORE the trades. Nazr, JYD, Sweets, Kurt and Vin Baker.

So, we traded a power forward for a power forward and draft picks.

Put Kurt next to Duncan, and they win it all for sure. Nazr may be an impediment. I'll take Mo T OR Rose over him any day.

Sorry...just wanted to put that out there, I know that the reason those trades are thought of as sucky is because we gave up tradeable assets...but what about shtty assets players?

you mean like mo?

nazr is a hard worker and did what was asked of him here. i had no problems with him b/c it was a talent question and he had a reasonable contract. he had a GREAT december and now he's playing well next to duncan. good for him.

if you'd rather have mo for 2 more years at $20 mil then that's your prerogative.

Nazy's a nice role player. I like him a lot, but he'll never be more than a nice role player or a significantly flawed starter. If you have two chances (i.e., two picks) to draft a player like Josh Howard, I think that's better than having Nazy. It's a gamble, though. If the two draft picks turn out to be nothing good, you lost a decent role player in Nazy.

btw...we traded nazr for Rose...don't continue to get confused. I'd take rose and the picks anyday.

and as nazr wins a ring with duncan, we have another redundant undersized OLD PF with 3 more years on the deal, and two late #1's that'll be packaged in isiah's next GREAT trade.

I love how you're so negative that you project it into the future, accept it as fact, and then use it (the negative future outcome that you have accpeted as truth) as a reason to discredit an action that has already occured.

Or in other words...
The Nazzy trade sucks because those draft picks are gonna be traded for another player who is worse than Nazzy.

The only problem is, it hasn't happened, and I don't think it will. A player worse than Nazzy? Its not that easy to do.

i'm still trying to get over the fact that the knicks let Mirsad Turkcan go...DAMN YOU DOLAN! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
