god, get realistic for crissakes..
As I said..just tinkering. Why don't you present a "realistic" suggestion since your response seems to imply you think you can do better?
By the way...I don't think you have the right to invoke God either since you don't even have the respect to capitalize His name.
when did she appoint you as her spokesman for name use affairs?
hahahaha.
One upped the diety affairs policewoman.
I guess all I can do is laugh since ...in the end...I'm not the one doing the judging.
On topic. All I was doing was presenting a scenariio that would work even if this unlikely situation occured.
In your response to Ruff you even entertained the "discussion" so I presented the unlikely in a way that would work via CBA.
I guess we were all being unrealistic but to TJastal I was the only one worthy enough to be addressed in the manner in which they did.
However...I also thought it amusing that somebody invokes a greater power (be it real to that person or not) to wish for something and not have the respect of such great power to even do so by listing Their name with irrelevance.
What's funny about your "trade scenario" is one doesn't even need look at the players involved to know its a joke
San Antonio Trade Breakdown
Change in Team Outlook: +24.1 ppg, +9.1 rpg, and +1.8 apg.
Golden State Trade Breakdown
Change in Team Outlook: -24.1 ppg, -9.1 rpg, and -1.8 apg.
That pretty much says it all.
In response to SpursNation's idea, unless Ian Mahinmi or Malik Hairston has perennial all-NBA potential, the Warriors are not doing your deal.
Yep, but only bags would actually think I meant it that way.
Just take it easy, buddy.
Exactly.
I can't think of one that would benefit the Warriors involving a trade with the Spurs. But lets just say good ole Donny wants to do a favor for the Spurs being one of Pop's friends?
I would go nuts if we got Randolph... I think he could be a super star in this league in years to come!!!
I f we put him in the lineup and give him 30+min a night, he will flourish. I think he has the skill set to offensively take the load off of Tim in the low post, while Duncan can spend more time defending. I think it is time that someone takes the load off of Duncan, just like Duncan took the load off of Robinson and allowed him to focus on defense and rebounding.
did you see timmy take it to him all last night?
Dudes young calm the down trying to guard the best power forward of all time for a 2nd year player is impossible but he did a decent job. He has long ass arms and I'd like too see how he defends Lamar Odom.
I would love to have Randolph, and money can't be a problem since he has a very cheap contract. But who the would we trade for him? I'm guessing it would be a Big Man since Randolph is himself. Trading any of our Big Man for Randolph would only make us go smaller sinice Randolph doesn't have much weight at all. I guess his 6-10 height makes up for that.
Can Randolph play Small Forward?
This is Tim Duncan you are talking about against a 20 year old sop re. He did force Timmy to take a few bad shots when the shot clock was winding down. The double teams came too late for Randolph sometimes.
In addition to whatever player(s) it would take to make a trade work financially, GS would probably want the rights to Splitter.
Not if the Spurs take on Maggette's contract. The Warriors should be thankful someone would like to bail them out on Magg's contract.
after i posted i realized what a dumb statement it was, but was too lazy to fix it, but i still think we need more defense, and rebounds. He would def. help with all the young pf, and really mobile bigs. I honestly believe if we dont get it together soon, pop will make a trade before deadline. he looks very disgusted as of late
common. it's not that Maggette was a completely unproductive player. compareable or even worse worse contracts have been traded before, some multiple times. (think Q-rich, Zach, Diaw, Kenny Thomas, Bobby Simmons...just to name a few)
I agree that the Warriors will give away Maggette for nothing in return but expiring (or shorter term) contracts. but they won't add a 20 years old lottery talent, who has real star potential just to get rid of Maggette.
(btw. we only talk negative about Maggette. but he is still a very efficient scorer, also for the Warriors. his PPS numbers are still amazing. much better than those of RJ for example. it's not that there were no teams in the league that could use this production)
so, Warriors will be willing to listen to any trade proposal for Maggette AND they will listen to bids for a Maggette + Randolph package, but they won't be interested in some busts like Ian or 2nd round picks. IMO it will take either a lottery pick (we don't have) or at least something like 2011 1st rounder plus Hill or Blair.
anthony randolph is as much of a pf as josh smith is
boy is way too skinny, timmy got his way too easily
you noticed that he just turned 20 this summer? you remember how - for example - Chris Bosh looked, when he entered the league?
(and btw. there is a significant difference between Smith and Randolph in height and length. one could say it's exactly the difference between a prototypical SF and a prototypical PF)
Don Nelson and GS would have A heart attack looking at that proposal
I'm not sure it would take a lottery pick, but certainly a first round draft pick. Maybe two. But other than that, I think you're spot on.
Under this hypothetical, the Spurs would have to really value Randolph as a future star, because they're killing their cap going forward. I'm not sure if it's worth it. The most attractive thing about Randolph is his ability to play and defend multiple positions. The Spurs could play him at 3, 4 or 5, allowing plenty of minutes for Duncan, Splitter, and Blair.
Your evaluation of Maggette is exactly right. Even though he's not as a good a player as Jefferson, I do wonder if he wouldn't be a better fit. I don't have any doubt that he would assert himself on offense. And defensively, Jefferson has not set the bar high.
Ah....it's too early to be so negative on RJ. Let's see how he finishes the month.
