Jerry West is the type of guy who will go get him man and then worry about letting things fall into place later. It's not like that core of iso-ballers is ever gonna be a contender anyways :shrug: might as well shoot for the stars.

West is gonna trade for him and then trade him to the Lakers for Metta World Peace and Luke Walton.

Nice slate of games tonight....I'm going to be so sad when the League Pass free trial period is over. I may convince my roommates to split it three ways. I mean, I can find any game on the internet, but nothing beats having all the games right on your TV.

Rob S · 01-06-2012, 07:54 PM

Mike Bibby really shouldn't be on an NBA team right now. He was awful last year, but this is a disgrace.....surely there is a young PG somewhere that deserves a shot over Bibby's corpse. He is actually hitting three tonight, but he absolutely useless in all other areas.

Vikes99ej · 01-06-2012, 07:56 PM

I hate Beasley so ******* much. This can't be stated enough. Any veteran SGs we could trade him for?

Ravens1991 · 01-06-2012, 08:14 PM

Its so refreshing that Flip actually has hustle players playing this game. Singleton, booker, wall is a nice combo. It looks like it may have even rubbed off on Andray Blatche.

Rob S · 01-06-2012, 08:18 PM

Melo is Mr. Clutch. Nobody I would rather have taking the last shot. Knowing the Knicks, however, someone blows by Bibby for a layup right here.

Ravens1991 · 01-06-2012, 08:20 PM

Yeah Melo is sick. I had a bad feeling after that pick. but my prediction is wall brinks a lay up or blatche takes one of the worst shots ever. and we lose

MetSox17 · 01-06-2012, 08:27 PM

I see the Pistons are doing wonderful tonight.

scottyboy · 01-06-2012, 08:34 PM

Well, you lost. Nick Young came close though. I like Young a lot. For Wiz at the end of games, it has to be Wall penetrating and looking for Young on the perimeter or McGee for an easy finish. Wall should never be taking a 3.

Ravens1991 · 01-06-2012, 08:41 PM

I like young too he can really score but doesnt offer much else. IDK wtf Wall was doing either taking the 3. But this gives me hope about our young hustle players such as Singleton,BOoker,Wall. I cant wait to add Jan Vesley into the mix, he has that same kind of hustle but is a great athlete too. All we need to do is hopefully replace Blatche w/ either Davis or Drummond and I will think we have hope.

Tell Anthony Morrow my fantasy team and I say thank you for tonight.

If anyone would please for the love of god take Wayne Ellington too, that would just make my life. ****, take Wes Johnson too while you're at it.

Yes, I'm a Young fan too, he'd make a nice 6th man. Something really needs to change with this team on the offensive end. (I've given up any hope of them playing defense) A'mare is just so incredibly out of place. It's not even the fact that he and Carmelo are pretty much redundant. It's the pick and roll game going through Chandler/Chandler clogging the lane which has A'mare playing more like a 3.

Would an ideal T-Wolves starting lineup look like this?

PG - Ricky Rubio
SG - Wes Johnson
SF - Anthony Randolph
PF - Derrick Williams
C - Kevin Love

Or move one of their assets to pick up a legit center?

Or does David Kahn have to be fired before these guys can get out of the lottery?

That would not make them any better.

Darko has not been complete **** and is not as horrible as everyone seems to think. He should still be in there. My lineup for them would be...

PG Roobster
SG Ridnour (has not been that awful once again and him and Rubio work well together)/Barea
SF Williams
PF Love
C DARKO

Dude that needs to be given a bus ticket and a peanut butter sandwich for his munchies: Michael Beasley

I think we will be fine on offense when Baron is back. He will really help with the spacing and I think Amare will be able to get clean paths to the bucket more often. I agree though, he and Chandler can't figure out how to play together and we don't have a PG that can control their play. It makes for Amare shooting way too many 18 footers. Yea, he can hit it, but I want him finishing at the rim the majority of the time. Melo was absolutely ruthless today though.....he hit some total eff you shots tonight.

Wes Johnson and Anthony Randolph are pretty terrible. Plus, a Williams and Love frontcourt is brutal defensively.

Hopefully Baron is the missing piece. Lord knows Toney is ******* atrocious (at least as a starting PG, he could be a decent volume scorer off the bench.) But yes, Melo is the man. If Baron can be above average, a starting lineup of:

Baron
Shumpert
Melo
Amare
Chandler

definitely has us looking a lot more competitive.

This is accurate. Ridnour has been fine. Darko isn't as bad as most people think and at least give us a big body defensively. We need to move Wes, Ellington, and Beasley for a bag of chips.

EvilNixon · 01-07-2012, 01:58 PM

Monta Ellis is quietly becoming a damn good point guard.

diabsoule · 01-07-2012, 02:10 PM

I'm really hoping the Hornets trading for Ramon Sessions.

Varejao & Sessions for Okafor or Kaman.

MetSox17 · 01-07-2012, 02:17 PM

No one wants Okafor.
