Report: Spurs send Rose to Knicks for Nazr Mohammed

[dcole50]

Mohammed is a ing scrub, nothing more than lethargically gained stats. Malik was much more than that and his feistiness will be missed in the playoffs.

I see why the Spurs did it, but it's not really a good trade for the purposes of winning a le. Malik would have helped us more.

Mohammed does nothing, absolutely nothing to improve our le chances this year.

There's a reason the Knicks suck...

it's not mohammed's fault. the problem is their "star" is marbury who is a shoot first point guard that shoots a low percentage and is horribly overrated.

[whottt]

So you saying he's a shotblocker.

Just barely. He's not the second coming of Mark Eaton or anything. Rasho is better and IMO Horry would be better if getting the same minutes.

He's averaged 2 tenths of a block more for his career than Malik, in 2 more minutes per game.

Only when you want them to, you hypocritical twerp.

No...PPG and RBG usually don't matter as much as people try and make them matter...they really don't matter when those numbers are put up on ty teams.

Someone is going to put up numbers on a ty team...a guy can be a very substandard player and still put up what appear to be good rebounding and PPG totals, if he is starting or getting minutes on a ty team.

I'll tell you right now...this guy is not as good of a center as Rasho.

I'll tell you when they matter.

You'd best not...Hedo...Charlie.

[ChumpDumper]

Just barely. He's not the second coming of Mark Eaton or anything.

Not my claim.

I'll tell you right now...this guy is not as good of a center as Rasho.

Beat you to that one.

You'd best not...Hedo...Charlie.

Heal.

[whottt]

I like this trade if for no other reason than Nazr is athletic and he's an honest 6'10", instead of our "Texas 6'8" " Rose (who is really more like 6'4" or so).

Aggie...you'd like this trade if it was for Alfedrick Hughes as long as Malik was the one getting run.

Who do you think you're kidding?

[whottt]

Not my claim.Beat you to that one. Heal.

Hedo - got a chance and choked
Charlie - got a chance and sucked and choked
Heal - got no chance and was waived

Note the difference.

[ChumpDumper]

Heal got all the chance he deserved. He wouldn't have made it through preseason if not for the injuries. Period. You can now argue in reverse for the rest of your life about Malik now too.

Be happy.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Um....Rasho is going to start for the rest of the season if for no other reason than he knows Pop's system, we're getting way ahead of ourselves to say Nazr is better. I think T Park might be right when he says that Rasho off the bench will play better because raho always plays better without duncan in the line up, but no i dont think Nazr is better because I think Rasho is an excellent defensive big.

[ChumpDumper]

we're getting way ahead of ourselves to say Nazr is better.

we would if anyone actually said it.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

my mistake i misread your reply to whottt

[indianspur]

We should trust pop and rc......then made SA into a genuine franchise.....nazr now plays on a chaimpionship team.....winning is the greatest motivation of all.....
Rasho - Nazr
TD - Horry - Tmass
Bowen - Brown
Manu - Barry
Parker - Beno - Wilks

This looks like a great team to me.....

SA is all about winning

[Supergirl]

I'd like to hear Duncan's comments about this trade if he makes any publicly. Kori, will you post them if you hear anything? He might be too classy to say anything, as much as he loves Malik he's also loyal to Pop.

I think the trade is good for us in some ways - Nazr is taller and a a good rebounder and shot blocker. He'll fill in nicely for Malik, provided he settles in OK. I worry about this. The Spurs don't make midseason trades much, and they were playing so well I worry their chemistry will be disrupted.

Mostly though, I'm sad. Like a lot of people have said, Malik was a great guy. Personally, he and Manu have been my favorite players the last few years. I will miss him. Maybe he'll wind up back here somehow, someday. I hope he tears it up in NY.

A period at the end of each sentence would make your ramblings a lot easier to read.

[Spurs_rock05]

I dunno why...but I feel like somebody just died!

trust me you ain't the only one

even though my bro told me to stf up already but he don't seem to care about loyality and how much you care bout them. to me Malik is a better bro than mine.

see if you guys remember this song

i'm lying in bed with my head on the phone thinking of you til it hurts, i'm all alone i'm so lost without you

[whottt]

Heal got all the chance he deserved. He wouldn't have made it through preseason if not for the injuries. Period. You can now argue in reverse for the rest of your life about Malik now too.

Be happy.

In other words, you loved losing to the Lakers last season due to the total failure of our perimeter game. Oh and stick the link up your butt.

Sorry but everything you just said is pure conjecture...what isn't conjecture is that Hedo and Ward were failures.

Keep bringing it up...Chokerlover.

[ChumpDumper]

Sorry but everything you just said is pure conjecture.

And? Everything you say is also.

what isn't conjecture is that Heal and Ward were failures.

Agreed. What's your point again?

[whottt]

my mistake i misread your reply to whottt

You don't ever have to admit a mistake with Chump...save your energy...he won't do it for you.

[ChumpDumper]

I made a mistake thinking Ward would help.

I could only wait and see with Hedo.

All you can do is Monday morning quarterback which is mere conjecture and pretend it's gospel truth.

[whottt]

And? Everything you say is also.Agreed. What's your point again?

My point is that you may or may not be right about Heal...I am definitely right about Carter, Ward and yes even Hedo... I see nothing to indicate Heal would not have been clutch in the role of specialist, specifically if given more than 6 games to adjust to the longer 3 line... and there is substantial evidence to indicate he would have been clutch...he has been in every big game I have seen him play...granted that wasn't many.

Furthermore...his nuts wouldn't shrivel at the idea of taking an open shot...unlike Hedo and Ward who wanted no part of it.

[whottt]

I made a mistake thinking Ward would help.

I could only wait and see with Hedo.

I would have given you credit if you had waited and seen with Hedo...

You didn't do that though. You judged him superior...and you judged him based on a hot streak in the regular season. And leading towards Hedo over Manu was inexcusable...I will never trust your ability to evaluate talent.

You most definitely judged Hedo as the superior player due to him getting the starting slot and being on a temporary hot streak.

All you can do is Monday morning quarterback which is mere conjecture and pretend it's gospel truth.

I didn't monday morning QB bag...I had my stance from early on in the season.

[ChumpDumper]

Heal was a chucker who couldn't play in the NBA. Three point specialists who can't hit three pointers are not three point specialists.

Your conjecture > fact thinking is massively flawed. I know you'll never abandon it because it's all you have.

[ChumpDumper]

You most definitely judged Hedo as the superior players due to him getting the starting slot and being on a temporary hot streak.

No, you complete dip . Quit lying. Pop had no choice, this was the best way to use Hedo. And leaning toward Hedo was about an entire career if he remained a Spur. So my conjecture will remain so, just as you will remain a lying twit.
