you are a year behind, but yes i would like Celtics VS Suns as well. but i think the Western Conference series will be more intriguing =)

i think fisher has a pretty consistent shot (but my frd thinks otherwise)

any idea if this is a good trade for raps?

trade ford + rasho
for
steve blake + joel pryzbilla (trailblazers)

is that an upgrade @ centre?


some say that they should trade Ford for Maggette, but i think that Maggette is only good with a dominant inside force, and neither Bosh nor Bargnani is that inside force, so trading for Maggette will only make the team more jump shooting oriented...and i keep saying trade Ford cuz im more of a Calderon fan =)

haha i guess you're right. if ONLY isiah is still around. but then w/ D'Antoni onboard now, they might want Ford to run the uptempo offense.

is Pryzbilla THAT good? cuz i mean Rasho's an expiring, and in a year or 2, Blazers'll need to have cap room to resign Roy and Aldridge, so i think it's not EXACTLY a talent for talent trade. more of a salary dump off, since he's one of the higher paid players on the roster that has trading value. and does Pryzbilla consider himself starter material? kinda like Calderon does in TO. but it's true that they might not be willing to part ways w/ Blake.

talking about sending ford to nyk, i actually kinda like eddy curry.  i think he has a lot of skill just bad off court history
if he would go to TO and get them some inside presence in a trade for for ...

i think Eddy Curry is just a better version of Kwame Brown. A little more proven, but never reached his full potential. Curry IS the type of big body the Raptors desparately need, but he's a MAJOR liability if the raps are gonna try and play run and gun. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't he have a heart problem? Either or, I would say Curry is a poison to most teams in the league, and that's not even throwing in his contract yet.

When you think of the Lakers, Luke Walton wouldn't exactly be considered the problem. Sure, he's not a stud, but he has good IQ and is a decent passer in the triangle O. Where Vujajic and Farmer struggle I think are they tend to shoot too much. While they are both good shooters, Vujajic should be more Korver like and have a better idea when to shoot and when to pass; whereas Farmer should be more of a slasher, instead of constantly settling for outside shots.

The Seattle white pg you are talking about I would assume is Luke Ridnour. I think the raps should try and include another player on top of Ford and Rasho to see if they can get Wilcox as well. Then I think that would be a fair trade. Just depends on who you include. And to be honest, I think the Raps shouldn't give up on Bargnani yet. I heard they have a full summer of training scheduled for him already, maybe after this intense summer, if he STILL doesn't develop, THEN we consider him a bust. I think he was just going throw a sophomore slump in his 2nd season.

i doubt Curry will ever blossom. Chandler only blossomed cuz he is more athletic and doesnt demand the ball in his hands to contribute. he also has a pass first PG and plays in an uptempo offense which suits him perfectly. In order for Curry to succeed, he constantly needs the ball fed into him, which means he needs touches. On the other hand, he's not a franchise player, so eating up all those touches will mean less for whichever superstar he's playing with.

I agree that Radmanovic is more of a weak spot. He not only throws up bricks, but also gets blown by way too often. He's a liability on both ends of the court.

Unless Bosh bulks up like what KG is now, he will never make it to superstardom. period. But Bosh isnt THAT skinny, look at Durant!

i cant wait for tomorrow's Hornets/Spurs game. i really want Hornets to win...but i have a feeling Spurs will come out as winners for that one...all depends if David West can be effective
