Sixers are idiots
PS Should I expect Angel_luv to move here permanently if Beno is traded?
Yeah this is an absolutely terrible era of Centers. Just think 10-12 years ago we had 4 centers (Pat, Hakeem, DRob, Shaq) who were members of the 50 greatest Players in NBA history all in their primes. Now the best center in the league is an aging fat Shaq, who's maybe 60% of what he was when he got schooled by Hakeem 10 years ago. So in this era Hunter is something to do cartwheels about.
gotdamn your old poland.
Since when has Isaiah been in Philly?? Just kidding!
hopefully this puts the spurs in a position to steal a long 3 or serviceable big man in a 3-4 team trade involving iverson...
Can I just say this offseason is giving me a stomach ache?
Maybe we can get their second round pick Bobby Jones who is supposed to be a 6'7 athletic, defensive wing player.
But... I thought no one would want Beno- just like no one would want Rasho.
Someone explain, though, how they would want Beno bad enough to take Beno + Oberto for Hunter.
I wish, but even if Beno got traded, the Spurs would still continue to try to trade Brent.
We don't need an offensive force at center. We need a rebounder, a shot blocker, and someone who will clean up the garbage on the offensive glass.
Hunter is perfect for that role.
Maybe we can get Stepfanie Kramer as a throw-in, too?
Yup. Imagine how old is Hunter.
Ps. When can you talk?
Is there really any chance they really want Beno badly enough to give us Hunter for Beno and Oberto? That sounds completely insane on their end.
if they trade ai then they are rebuilding
they need beno if they trade ai
Excuse me - has anyone addressed that we're trading away our only backup PG? Is this not a concern?
barry used to play point
barry is capable of doing that
and he would know his role would be that and practice that in trainging camp
Not if we sign someone like Pargo.
People seem too invested in sending off players, here.
We're all pretty happy about trading Barry, too, supposedly our best trading commodity at this point -- it's either one or the other.
I am not really thrilled with the idea of trading Beno. I thought he started to turn the corner there late in the season and played pretty good. He is not making any money hardly. He seems as if he is a good teammate. I am not interested in absorbing 4 years of Steven Hunter who is just the same type of player Rasho and Nazr are. I am still holding out hope for a deal that nets us a player like Magloire so we can go out next summer and get us another star. I don't really like the idea of adding a guy just like Javotkas, I'd rather go get a 3 before that. We still have possibly a rotation of Duncan, Bonner, Javotkas, Oberto, and Horry (who I want to trade) at the 4/5.
Udrih + Oberto for Hunter would be a bit underwhelming. And it does remove one candidate to handle backup point duties.
I have the feeling that giving up on Udrih now would be a mistake.
Oberto is a far more intelligent basketball player than Hunter. All Hunter seems to have is a better shooting percentage - when he shoots - more NBA experience, better shot-blocking, and a longer contract for more money. He also has the virtue of being young.
Udrih has skills to be a lifelong backup point in this league, despite our being sour on him. Maybe not a championship caliber backup, but that remains to be seen.
Do we want to jettison these two guys for a marginal center like Stephen Hunter?
yes because beno is so important in the playoffs
he played so many minutes
What don't you get? He was stuck behind Nick Van Exel - wrongly.
against houston he sucked
therefore he did not get playing time
he can not bring the ball up underpressure
he is like stephen jackson in that reguard
points need to handle the ball
I was for trading beno for jr smith
but now it seems beno may have more value
We'll have faith our Plan B isn't CJ Watson, then.
