He will should trade them all away. I don't see much promise in the lineup he has there.

 

[Deisler]

Steph, Tim Thomas, Sweetney, Q.Ritch and Jerome Williams are not as bad as they have been performing...plus Jerome and Sweet are not bad defense wise...

They are undisciplined yeah but its LB we are talking about here....

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Playoff making talent but thats about it....

 

[ShiftyPowers]

They'll make the playoffs, but nothing else.

 

[$teauA]

This has to be one of the best logos in sports

-------------

The Knicks are gonna make the playoffs but they'll get swept in the first round.

 

[Jacky]

what happened to Vazquez, the 11th overal pick by Orlando... he's signing a contract with a european team?
why isn't he coming over to the nba yet? he's already 22....
maybe it's the money.. he didn't like the nba rookie salary scale....

 

[$teauA]

did anybody see that man hug between Larry and Isiah at the press conference...eek.

 

[becksfranksteve]

We GOt Brown We Got Brown

 

[Jacky]

let's see what brown will do with the overload of PFs that the knicks have...

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Indeed. What can Brown do for you? He's old but I think he has maybe 2-3 good years of coaching left and then he's out.

Atlanta will most likely complete a sign-and-trade for Joe Johnson.

Phoenix will get Diaw and two first-rounders.

Atlanta are slowly building a decent team, they still need a centre though.

I imagine Johnson will be playing point most of the time, with Stoudemire or Smith playing at two.

 

[Jacky]

looks like the hawks are also talking with Zaza..

 

[SRB]

yea they're not going after curry anymore now that they've found out his heart can't be insured. however, zaza is not the answer at center

 

[Hendrik]

This deal is nearing completion according to a lawyer and league official

A. Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey, Andre Emmett -> Miami

Eddie Jones -> Memphis

Qyntel Woods, Borchardt, the rights to Spanish center Albert Miralles and the Heat's $1.9 million trade exception -> Boston

 

[SlayerDeuS]

WTF kinda bull**** is that? Miami is totally pwning these teams.

 

[$teauA]

wow, it's the "let's all get on our knees and suck miami's dick" trade

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Its a done deal, the largest trade in NBA history.

MIAMI -- In the largest trade in NBA history, Antoine Walker was dealt from Boston to Miami on Tuesday night in a transaction involving five teams and 13 players.

The Heat also acquired point guard Jason Williams and small forward James Posey from Memphis, while the Grizzlies received guard Eddie Jones from the Heat. The New Orleans Hornets and Utah Jazz were also involved in the deal.

The trade was larger than a 12-player, four-team deal in 2000 involving Patrick Ewing that had been the biggest in league history.

Miami also received Andre Emmett from Memphis and the draft rights to Roberto Duenas from the Hornets; Utah received Greg Ostertag from Memphis; Boston picked up Curtis Borchardt from Utah and a package -- Qyntel Woods, the draft rights to Albert Miralles, two second-round draft picks and cash -- from Miami; New Orleans acquired Rasual Butler from Miami and Kirk Snyder from Utah; and the Grizzlies received guard Raul Lopez from the Jazz.

 

[$teauA]

wow

what a s*it trade for everyone except the Heat. I bet Hornets fans are soooo excited about the "fantastic" players they got :funny:

----

Heat line-up next season:

PG: Dwyane Wade
SG: Damon Jones
SF: Antoine Walker
PF: Udonis Haslem
C: Shaquille O'Neal

The only thing that's gonna keep them from reaching the finals next season is Jason Williams.

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Haha **** the Hornets for leaving CLT, they deserve every **** player they have including CP.

 

[SRB]

if the heat were smart theyd trade williams to a team that needs a pg for backup pg/sg instead of keeping him when he is the absolute opposite pg than what they need.
