...did you just compare Earl Clark to Dwight Howard?

[SeanTaylorRIP]

We should be used to it, we've heard the pimping of Courtney Lee and Ryan Anderson before, Clark is the new version.

Grasp much? Player development... it happens.

edit: ...and sometimes it doesn't. We'll see.

Gimme a break. I've never pimped those 2.

We can talk about the Suns.

Where will Nash get traded to? Any predictions?

[fenikz]

no where, Suns won't trade him until he asks for a trade

[Halsey]

So are the Hawks gonna win tonight and take the right to lose to Miami to a game 7?

Why not? They already traded for Aaron Brooks... wouldn't they want to continue with the rebuilding process? If you keep Nash for the sake of keeping him, then when his contract expires, that does no good.... meanwhile you're stashing your future starting PG on the bench. I dunno why you need to do that. What do you know about it that I'm missing?

[fenikz]

Nash would never leave Phoenix as a FA, as long as we make a reasonable offer he will retire here. No one in the front office wants to see him leave and he has no intention of ever leaving.

Really don't think we viewed Brooks as a potential starting PG, he is a 6th man. That's why we made the swap of him for Dragic.

Oh ok. I thought Brooks was intended to replace him.

What kind of contract would you like to see the Suns give Nash in 2012?

[fenikz]

Not sure, last time after winning the MVPs he only wanted 2/22 so probably something around that

Who's pimping Anderson? I dont even like him that much. He's grown on me a little, but his chucker mentality always pisses me off.

I hadnt posted in here a lot the last two years or so...but the only Anderson pimping I remember is from Scotty. lol.

I know right? We haven't had a discussion like this in a long time. These guys overexaggerate the Magic discussion here. It's me and you and nobody. I don't even do basketball talk here. I go to other forums for basketball talk.

[CrankthatCrabtree]

Can you imagine the Magic on D with Bropez replacing Howard.


I think the draft countdown starting lineup would be able to put up 100 points

[SickwithIt1010]

Lakers like Rick Adelman to replace Phil.

Mention of JVG as well, they were talking about the possibility of having him come in last year when Phil was talking about Retirement. I wouldnt be upset with either of them, if I had to pick one though I might go with JVG due to the simple fact he is a Riley disciple and he will preach great defense.

Cant go wrong either way. Buss and co. might lean towards Adelman because of the offensive mind.

[scottyboy]

Ryan Anderson was awesome!
and yea, we get it, Bropez is a soft defender and had a ****** rebounding year.
but let's just throw out he's a young post player putting up 20+ ppg.
whatever, dream scenario dwight leaves in FA, comes to brooklyn.
Dwill-Morrow-Me-Bropez-Dwight.
championship
just let me dream

[CrankthatCrabtree]

How are Bropez and Morrow starting in your dream scenario? The lack of Blake show and D-Wade is slightly dissappointing.

So Bulls v Heat

Who u guys got?

[Halsey]

The Hawks should try to make a bold trade this offseason. They're never going to be any better than playoff stepping stone as built. No player on that roster should be off limits to trade talks. Obviously they should be trying to get a player in return who can help them get to the Conference Finals or further.

Heat, easily. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Heat dominate the next two series.

I want the bulls, and think they have the best shot at stopping em....but the Heat look scary right now.

[scottyboy]

I think the Thunder have the best shot at stopping the Heat.

Harden/Thabo on D-Wade
Durant v Lebron
and well Bosh would get his pansy ass handed to him in the paint by the Thunder's 4 man rotation.

The thunder could even try some Westbrook on Wade if they wanted.

[devinhester=R.O.Y 2006]

Bulls defense will need to step its game up to an even higher level against the Heat. If they can do that I think they will give them a hell of a series and could potentially win the series. If we see the Bulls team from the Indiana/Atlanta series it could be a long series for the Bulls.

Matchups are quit interesing.

Rose on Bibby, Bogans on Wade, Deng on LeBron, Boozer on Bosh, and Noah on Ilgauskas.

Best two defends the Bulls on on two of the top 10 in the league! The energy that Deng will have to expend will hamper his offensive production, IMO. Someone will have to step up and fill the scoring void. No way will Derrick Rose be able to beat the Heat by himself. Hopefully last night was not a fluke for Boozer and we will see that type of production throughout the Eastern Finals.

[devinhester=R.O.Y 2006]

Also, hats off to the Hawks...they have some nice pieces. Jeff Teague had his coming out party on the national scene, and Josh Smith can be an absolute ******* monster! He just needs to give up shootig 20 footers.
