Iguodala
I agree. Honestly, while I think D-Wade would be the best guy to go after, if there's any shot at Bosh, they should really go for it. I think that Beaubois has the potential to be > Tony Parker, and if he reaches something close to that, could you imagine a duo of Beaubois and Bosh? Pretty damn lethal duo to build around. Both of them are very versatile offensive players, in that Beaubois can attack like Parker, but can also shoot jumpers (the 3 in particular) incredibly well too, and Bosh has a jumper to go with his inside game as well. Plenty of aggression and athleticism between the two also. Roddy is also getting to learn how to be a true floor general from Kidd, and throughout the season, his passing and patience has clearly improved already. He is definitely capable of running an offense, although his abilities are definitely better suited for him to be a scorer.
Iguodala
Monta Ellis
Butler should be the backup 3. I've said this for awhile now. Marion is the better 3 and we need a good shooting guard that plays intense defense. (Not Barea or Terry) Also we need Beaubois to take over the starting point guard position. We need a coach that is younger so he isn't so biased against the young players.
there are better guys to go after. but if they cant get anything else, he wouldn't be a terrible addition. but they probably wanna get rid of brand with him.Iguodala
Was Gerald Wallace ever made available in a trade? When was he on the trading block? Because there's no way from the summer of 2008 to the present that the Bobcats would've agreed to that deal, and preceding the trade deadline of 2008 when Josh was playing the best ball of his career, nobody in their right mind would trade Josh for Wallace. Howard was the better player until the spring of 2008. Why would you trade Player A for Player B when Player A is playing the better of the two? I wish everybody had 20/20 foresight like mono apparently has.
Here's some other hot sports opinions and trenchant wisdom from mono:
- The Mavs should've never drafted Roy Tarpley because he snorted away his chances at being a great player
- The Pistons should've taken either Carmelo Anthony or Dwyane Wade over Darko
- The Sixers shouldn't have given Elton Brand that contract even though at the time they needed a post presence
- The Clippers shouldn't have hired Mike Dunleavy at then stuck by him year after year when he was clear he didn't know what he was doing
- Perhaps the Celtics should've targeted Antonio McDyess with their MLE this year instead of Rasheed Wallace.
Volume chucker who plays no D and the Warriors play better and are more efficient on offense without him. One of the most overrated players in the league. I'd rather give Roddy 25-30 mpg next year.
I agree, I think Butler might be a better guy to have off the bench, and start Beaubois at the 2. That way we have more bench scoring and size when Dirk goes out.
I'd agree. I'm not an Ellis fan at all. But perhaps being in a better system with better surrounding players would help him become more efficient, the way it helped Jamal Crawford this year, who also was spoken of in the same way as Ellis.
Pretending like you don't know the answer to that question is laughable. The first thing Larry Brown tried to do when he got the job was trade Gerald Wallace. They didn't find a deal so they stuck with him.

yeah it always sucks to have a guy on the team who is lightning quick, strong, and will attack the basket
Even if he sucks at defense, how does that make him worse than Terry or Barea or Kidd?
not saying that it sucks. just that there are perhaps better players to pursue first, and try developing Roddy to be the Mavs star guard instead, and try finding a forward or center. although I'd rather have Ellis over Iggy.yeah it always sucks to have a guy on the team who is lightning quick, strong, and will attack the basket
Because he's a ballhog and doesn't score efficiently.
Maybe you haven't read my posts, but I'm not exactly enamored with our current guard rotation.Even if he sucks at defense, how does that make him worse than Terry or Barea or Kidd?
Yeah, in a system where he's allowed to do whatever he wants. How about 2 years ago when Baron Davis was running the show? Wanna look up his efficiency stats then?
Oh, right, Baron Davis sucks too
November 2008: Tell me why I want Gerald Wallace over Josh Howard. Tell me how anybody could've predicted Howard would melt down in a melange of injuries and at ude problems. Point me to the Spurstalk archives from November 2008 where you accurately predicted Howard would become an injury-prone headcase, when at the time he was playing the best ball of his career. Thanks.
Yeah, Baron Davis is a guy you can build around. Which is why the Warriors bent over backwards to resign him and why the Clippers hang up the phone whenever other teams call up and inquire about his availability.Yeah, in a system where he's allowed to do whatever he wants. How about 2 years ago when Baron Davis was running the show? Wanna look up his efficiency stats then?
Oh, right, Baron Davis sucks too
Why do the Warriors score better and more efficiently when Ellis doesn't play?
WHAT
THE
Best ball of his career?
You mean November of 2008 right after April of 2008 when the Mavs were getting ass raped by the Hornets and Josh was smoking weed, planning parties, and not doing jack on the court?
So none of you guys think Cubes is going to blow up this team if hits the fan in the next 3 games?
Don't forget:
LOL... Josh was dope indeed...
Hold on, maybe I just went completely insane and got dates wrong, but let me check.....

How have you never seen this?
If we get a legit 2 guard, (like Joe Johnson) I would go with Roddy at the point. He'll have another summer to improve that part of his game. Kidd is looking old. Maybe he can still get 20 MPG's but not much more.
