The Hornets got Kirk Snyder. What's wrong with Kirk Snyder?

My insult wasn't directed at the players involved it was directed at the Hornets fans who get excited when they get players like Kirk Snyder or Rasual Butler.

PS: plus I know they have a cheap ass owner and they'll never get anything better.

Its a good deal and i'm happy with Walker and Posey BUT J-WILL good help us, maybe we will deal him.

There are also talks about Finley, so who knows....

 

[INFESTA]

Miami also received Andre Emmett from Memphis and the draft rights to Roberto Duenas from the Hornets;

Roberto Duenas!!! Has anyone seen his face? Besides, he's got more hair on his back than Ben Wallace's fro!
What an addition he'd be for the NBA!

Acquiring Finley would guarantee them a NBA Championship, well they probably are already guaranteed one............

i dont know finley is old, injuries are becoming constant with him and he doesn't have the consistency of old finley. they're set on the starting 5, they need to shore up the bench a bit and they'll be set.

 

[SB9Dragon]

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

To me it was essential to get rid of Walker so that the team could rebuild. But I was expecting better. I'm just hoping that Danny Ainge knows what he's doing.

BTW anyone have info on the guys Boston got? Borchardt? Q. Woods? Miralles?

I also have found out that the C's have signed Brian Scalabrine. A good bench addition I guess. Now I wonder what Ainge is gonna do with Payton and Pierce. Will they stay or go?

 

[Hopeunited]

popular dick or not, I still don't think Miami has what it takes to win the championship. I just can't see a team win the title with Antoine Walker in the squad.

 

[SRB]

why not? the man is a complete player. he wad good when he was with the mavs. the reason his numbers are ****ty is because of his career in boston. he was told that he was supposed to either A. shoot the 3, or B. go down low. he can do both, he's a very very good passer for a big man, and man if you have shaq and wade, he will be open 90 percent of the time. even though he's a career 31 % shooter from the 3 in his career, i wouldn't leave him open. think about it, that means every 3rd 3 is going to go in. combine that with him being open down low because people will double team shaq, and he will score in the paint, and dish to a cutting wade or kick it out for 3 to whoever will be playing pg. i think he will fit in perfectly.

Maybe not with Wlaker, but how about a team with a healthy Wade and Shaq ???? how does that sound

 

[Frostwolf]

A healthy Wade and Shaq sharing the ball with Williams and Walker. Yeah. That's going to be GREAT for team chemistry.

Miami needed role players after the depature of both Joneses, one was a good defensive SF and another was a good shooter who could run the offense. Posey is a good signing though.

 

[dannyeli]

damon jones is still a heat player

 

[Frostwolf]

He hasn't re-signed, though?

 

[dannyeli]

OK but he still is a heat player... so he hasn't gone yet.

 

[Jacky]

I thought damon jones is a "free agent" .. so he's actually not contractual obligated to any team right now....

well I have no idea whether he's a restricted or unrestricted tho.

 

[Jacky]

what do u guys think of chris duhon of the bulls? he's reportedly signed an offer sheet with the raptors....

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Duhon started for the Bulls last year and he's pretty good. There's no way the Bulls won't match that.

 

[$teauA]

They better match it I don't want him to go to the s*it hole that is Toronto where he will end his career in mediocrity.

Some Americans and their ignorance towards all other countries

 

[dannyeli]

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the Toronto Raptors, not the city or the country.
