The 2010-11 Trade Discussion Thread (Part III)

Yep today....Was suppose to pick him up at the airport todayhere in Houston but he canceled the flight. (No I mean everybody involved is waiting on Jordan to make up his damn mind)

Wow damn.....I hope this happens. I bet the cats were hoping to announce the trade at the press conference they are having at 1 for Silas. (It will be shown on NBATV at 1)

even tho ballwhore has a problem with saying things as if theyre a done deal when they never are (this has to be the 3rd time this season) as least he's straight up.

i cant stand that douchey attention whoring like whats going on at realgm or rof last time where its like "lololol I have inside info but I'm not gonna tell you guys. i am so special."

[ammofan]

I'm curious to find out what other player that we're rumor to get. I was at realgm just a few minutes ago and I've read that Big Slam said that we're trying to get a player but he wouldn't tell us who it is. Ballwhore do you have any info on that?

What thread was that on?

Because I only say what i'm being told by the person directly involved. My source tells me he is gong to the Indiana not he might be going so I tell ya'll. He said he is going to the clippers this shit been in the works for over a week not that he may be going. Then guess what MJ f#cks the deals. It's also the third time I told ya'll about what (might) be going on before anyone else.
(Might) is that better. lmao

Can anyone tell me why trading for Rip is a bad idea? The team has no one that can score consistently without dominating the ball, people were comparing Rip to Reggie Miller when it came to off the ball movement and getting open. Rip got screwed by the A.I. deal and then immediately after by the Ben Gordon deal, neither player was as good in Detroit as Rip was yet they asked him to come off the bench.

I would shop Jackson or Wallace for a starting big man then trade Diaw and Hendo for Rip, or wait until Detroit is to the point where they will take any salary dump they can and see if they will take Nazr, Hendo, and Najera.

Rip would make DJ look a lot better. you get a guy that come of screens, catch n shoot and your assists will sky rocket. Rondo probably gets 4 assists per game off Ray Allen catch n shoots alone. DJ doesn't have anyone like that. His SG takes the ball from him, holds it for 15 seconds, jab steps 4 times, double crossover that wouldnt fool a blind guy, and shoots the contested 3. Not an easy way to get dimes.

Cat no one seems to understand that point.

Exactly. The whole team just stands with the ball.... and they expect to win games like that? We need soem good moving players on this team. And a guy or two who can really stretch the floor. J-rich would be awesome to have back here in CLT but I would love to have Rip here just as much. Rip moves great without the ball....maybe the best mover in the league.

Anyone familiar with Silas style of offense? Would RIP even be a fit. I just remember banging in the post.
