Give me Kemba and Bizzy B on NBA Jamz vs Felton and fancy beard Tyson....Go ahead and zip the bag up. Put the flaming ball in there with them as a keep sake.
mucho rep points for nba jamz comparison.Quote:

diaw cut from here.
crash, traded to new jersey.
chandler, obviously had success, but dallas didn't even bother to re-sign him.
the only thing to be upset about is that we didn't get better assets for some of our pieces (see portland getting lillard for crash), but we have cho now, so i'm trusting we get maximum value for our assets going further.
Chandler was not overly impressive when he was here. Things didnt really seem to click for him until Dallas' title run season. He only started 27 games for us. I would like to have Chandler back just so we could have received a better return in a trade than what we got from Dallas.
That's putting it mildlyQuote:

We had a pretty decent team that year ..I honestly think we should have given it 1 more year and got rid of Larry Hughes and some of those guys and added another piece or 2 and just seen where we went ..I definately think breaking the team up after just 1 season was a mistake but obviously that wasn't a team who would contend in the East ( but stranger things have happened
That year we got the Magic in the 1st round which was probably the worst possible matchup we could have gotten seeing as though they had dominated us for several years up until then
I do understand we had a very high payroll for an 8 seed , so without success we would have had to have blow it up regardless ...I just thought it was premature ..especially considering we added Tyrus ( who was playing great at the time ) right around the deadline and actually finished that season on a hot streak
We should have given it 1 more year and then dismantled had it not worked ..I know we had free agents who maybe would have not signed but we couod have worked something out ..I'm guessing but I don't think any of those guys dislikes playing hear but I am guessing
To add on ...a mistake breaking that team maybe was the case for the 1 year following but as for something relevant today and something I still dwell on , that's not the case at all...the true benefit was Ray not accepting our long term deal ...so in hindsight it was a good move but had we kept that team together 1 more year and added a piece or 2 who knows what would have happened ( especially with a better 1st round matchup
And everyone also seems to forget all of the fat jokes made towards Felton in the past 2 years.Quote:
