And Kstat: I wouldn't be asking how deep this stupidity goes.
Some of your statements go deep, too.
IMO the majority (including me at times) have over-reacted this off-season. That was bound to happen after Ben's exit but now it's time to settle down a bit and take a long look at this squad.
It isn't that bad. It isn't a contender either IMO.
But we'll certainly beat the shit out of a lot of teams next season and in 2007 we have 2 first rounders.
Just draft well and retain Chauncey and we're good to go again.
-
Those 2 first round picks are everything to the future of this franchise. That Orlando gets us a pick between 6~10 and that Joe makes at least one great decision between the two of them.
As trade assets, I'm not sure they will get much done.
-
I'm thinking the Magic's pick is between 8-14 but I get the point. We do need Joe to make some solid picks and really get us a foundation for the future.
And while I'm not sure what we could do with 2 2007 firsts via trades at least we have those assets to move if needed.
Some teams would love an addition 2007 pick (like Atlanta)
-
Counting on Joe's ability to draft is suicide.
-
Do we have any other options now?
No exceptions to use in free agency.
Plus, we only have Davis + unproven youth + picks to trade
Things aren't looking good
-
No they aren't thanks to Davidson. Had he not been a cheap ass and given away Corliss and Darko we'd have $16 million in epxiring contracts to use as trade bait. We got Sheed for $16 million in expiring contract. Instead we're left with shit. But at least Davidson's profit margins are up and Gaystats happy.
-
Yeah, the wrath of PMS really nailed it.
The reason we're no longer contenders is because we let Corliss Williamson go. That's gotta be it.
I must have missed the meeting where it was decided that all expiring contracts were guarenteed to land a quality player.
-
its guaranteed that if you have no assetts to trade, you wont land a quality player. right now we can scrounge up ~6 million to trade (unless you want to move the 'big 6'. not too much to choose from in the 6 million range.
-
My point is it's silly to expect Dumars to hold on to Corliss when he wasn't anywhere worth his contract, in the hope that TWO years down the road his expiring salary might be useful.
If that were the case, nobody would ever try to get rid of an overpaid player.
-
Trading Corliss for Coleman and then waiving Coleman got us what?
NOTHING! For the former 6th Man of the Year!
WTF? How can you justify that Kstat?
You surely aren't this fucking stupid, are you?
