Who's he starting in place of?

[DPG21920]

Bogans starting probably isn't great news for RJ. He lasted all of four games as the perimeter stopper.

Not going to effect RJ. Not like he will be on the bench all game.

Bogans to start

It's Finley's first time being a backup?

Okay, I've suggested this before, but I'm bored and want to see if anyone thinks there's any chance.

Nets' current assumed goals:
1. Get the first pick in the 2010 draft, or close to it.
2. As part of the pitch to James, demonstrate how they'll be able to surround him with top-level players.
3. Keep payroll as low as possible in the near future to accomplish (2).

If Splitter=Lopez (more or less), offer Splitter + Finley, 1st or 2nd rounder for Lopez.

They'll accomplish (1) without even having to try much. They'll accomplish (3) by bringing in Splitter on a contract that will be cheap for a few years into James's stay, as opposed to Lopez, who they'd have to pay 1 year after acquiring James. This fact will help them with (2), in that they'll be able to surround him with other expensive players. Also, the high draft pick will help with (2). Is this not logical? How unrealistic is it (impossible, extremely unlikely, etc)?

First of all, Lopez is 21 years old. Splitter is like in his late twenties. Lopez is a franchise center, Splitter, not so much. Deal is DOA in my opinion. Our 1st rounder is worthless to them.

I actually love Bogans starting..that just means Pop is open to new things, which is great for all of us..

If he can't fit in that role, one more step to getting Hairston on the roster..

[ezau]

Don't tell me Bonner is going to start or even guard Oden. I'm gonna puke on my keyboard when that happens

[Spurs Brazil]

bogans to start

wow

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

three guards start for portland...humm

[Chieflion]

Don't tell me Bonner is going to start or even guard Oden. I'm gonna puke on my keyboard when that happens

Better than guarding LaMarcus Aldridge. Matt Bonner cannot play this game.

[exstatic]

Portland is starting 3 guards. Pop needs to put Jefferson in the post IMMEDIATLEY.

[Ice009]

Holy crap. So Pop starts the worst player on the team.

What does Hairston have to do to get a chance???????

[timvp]

Finley would have made that!







jk

[HarlemHeat37]

Hairston would have dunked that..

, I hate Steve Blake's face..he's so ugly..
