When we're talking about Boozer as a better defender than anyone, we know we're going off the deep end.

Nate and Lucas really doesn't matter to me since their contracts are up next season.

Bargs offers the ability to be a stretch 4. That's more than anything an declining Boozer would bring this and next year.

I still have hope we could land Pau. Hell, I would rather take Stats than Boozer

Timmay Duncan is the best PF this game has ever seen.

[bigbluedefense]

Tim Duncan is the greatest, Malone is probably #2.

[Rob S]

Garnett is better than Malone.

[bantx]

Dirk > All

most ungaurdable shot

No he's not. Malone doesn't get the respect he deserves bc everyone hates his guts. KG had way too many failures early in his career to be better than Malone.

Lots of great players in that era got their legacies screwed by Jordan. Ewing and Malone probably top the list.

[MetSox17]

Top 5 PG

1. Chris Paul
2. Tony Parker
3. Rajon Rondo
4. Russell Westbrook
5. Derrick Rose

6. Kyrie

[yo123]

For all the talk about his playoff failures KG has one more ring than Malone and he didn't get to play with the second best passing PG ever. KG is second only to Timmy.

[Bert Macklin]

oh and Magic Johnson added his opinion


"If MJ and LeBron played 1-on-1 10 times, MJ would win all 10. MJ is the ultimate 1-on-1 player!" he added.

It's not even close IMO. KG is definitely the second best PF ever.

KG would be ringless too if he played in the Jordan era.

And KG reinvented his career with the Celtics, who were a super team. I can't buy the Player A played with these players argument bc of that.

KG, when he was the guy, wasn't able to elevate his team beyond the 1st round. I can't sell that guy as the 2nd greatest PF of all time when we had so many great ones.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Bulls need to include a 1st or take back Kleiza otherwise I don't think the Raps do that trade.

Thinking about it there is no way this trade happens. Boozer costs a bunch more money a year than Bargs with the same contract length. Amir Johnson is better than Boozer so this trade will be for a backup PF that is even more overpaid than the very overpaid Bargnani. Even including a first I am fairly certain will be enough to get this deal done.

You were looking good at 1-3 but I have no idea how you could possibly put Westbrook over Rose. You can argue it all you want I just don't see it.

He yells so much though.

I would actually put Duncan, KG, than Malone mainly for the fact of...

People have tried to tell me that overall Duncan has played with better overall casts than Malone, which is true to a point. Duncan averages for his career 2 and a half shots less a game than Malone. Statistically I would say Duncan would be up there too if you add 3000 shots to his career.

Plus, I just loved KG. 20,10, and 5 on crap teams in Minny.

[yo123]

KG had a good supporting cast for exactly one year in Minny, he had an absolutely ridiculous year and he took them to the WCF where they had to play the Shaq/Kobe Lakers.

[dabears10]

That Bulls-Raps deal is terrible for both sides. It makes me mad Reinsdorf is so cheap he won't even pay for Boozer's contract if he amnesties it.

He's more efficient, he's not a liability on offense, and he is actually a very productive player a good portion of the time. Bargs is one of the worst players to ever get the playing time he has gotten in his career.

That's why I said "if not, the second best"

KG is the man^ this is amazing, who did he even have with him..

Starbury or Latrell

[Paul]

Don't care what anyone or KG himself says. He's a timberwolve not a Celtic.

He had Cassell and Sprewell, I think it was 03-04. It was really his only shot at making a legitimate run and I'm not going to knock him too much for losing to Shaq and Kobe.

[yo123]

These are the biggest celebrities they could get for this game? The ******* secretary of education? Seriously?

[JRTPlaya21]

Lmao he balled out last year for 17 & 8.
