Let's be Realistic about the trades

I HATE the "+Reply to Thread" button. I press it all of the damn time instead of the "post quick reply" button, erasing everything I typed. ARGH!!!!

Nutshell, things open up for us tremendously after the 12/13 season. Seeing as how it would be VERY difficult to put together a winner with our contracts and general mediocrity, I think it was fine to start finding more youth and picks for the future.

I'd rather us do some trades like this to rid ourselves of some albatrosses and start making better decisions.

DNB you know I love you like a brother...but there is no way in hell Crash was an albatross contract. He earned every bit of his money in spades. He left blood on the court and we won a lot of games just because he refused to let us lose.

There's not one guy on our roster that has near the drive to do what he's done for us.

I'm sorry; that came out wrong. What I meant was that I'd rather see us start to dismantle some of the other contracts and start making a youth movement.

Agreed, Wallace was not an albatross contract.

Spectre I am very angry as well but I want to try to believe there is some good to this but in the end that is why I said this has to be a money move based on the future of the NBA. Because along with what you have been saying, these moves make little to no sense other than saving a few dollars.

i have typed up multi paragraph posts that never got posted because of the stupid reply to thread button.

Begging the question, is there a causal connection between Bobcats success and the universe ending? Have we been rooting for our own demise?

Sorry myself; after a 2nd look I can see what you meant.

I'm happy you guys can see the brighter side. Me, I've gone from dread thinking the bastard is really going to do it this time, being literally pissed off, sad and now pissed off again. I've been holding off posting because of what I might say that I'll later regret, and it probably is my best move going forward.

I hope you guys are right is all I can say.

Man it's ALL about the money. That's all it's been ever since the lollipop bought this team. Look at the end result we now have from 3 starters that made the playoffs...and would probably have been a 50 win team if we'd started the season with Jax from day 1. Two mid range picks and a few depth guys we most likely could have picked up for a 2nd rounder. The only other payoff? MONEY.

Until I see different I see Jordan as a skinflint no better than the likes of Shinn.

Honestly, the only thing making me feel positive right now is that I've been very negative all season long and can at least some some attempt to make something of this mess, albeit two or three years from now.

This is like dating a gorgeous girl who doesn't really have anything wrong with her, but you know things just aren't that great. Sooner or later, you have to move on to find something that is right.

The big question is will we find that something.

lol I agree 100% Spectre. I will try to be positive because that is the fan in me. But I honestly feel a bunch of epic loses on there way which will probably start tomorrow against the kings. I mean they just beat the magic and droped 115 on them yesterday. If I am wrong and we some how come out and do really well I'll be the first to admit I was dead wrong but in my eyes I think it will be tough for us to win more than 8 more games this season.
