Great post. I'm glad that you did. Although this is a basketball related forum, I like talking about life in general. You speak your mind and in a well-thought manner, I enjoy reading posts like this.

I think he's trying to say that he likes what you are posting...in general

I laughed a little inside. But, it's cool man. Everyone's created equal IMO. I don't really care what other people think. I mean, if they're openly racist, I'll try to change their mind but if they happen to keep their views, I just focus on how I treat other ppl. Race doesn't matter, and between humans, races actually don't exist. One race is the human race. You believe in that Quasar?

Yes, I do agree with you. We need to be able to score efficiently and have the ability to stop our opponents on the defensive end when we need to. Overcompensating on either front would be detrimental to the team. I thought the first trade, J-Rich for Camby, wouldn't get it done so I conjured up another trade to try and make it equal for both parties. All in all, we still need a big. Camby isn't the answer I guess

Thanks for the input ppl ;) *no sarcasm*. Was just pondering how that trade would work out in my head, needed some good minds to throw some thoughts back at me.

You don't think Camby is capable of backing up Dwight?

Defense wins championships. Look at the Celts (- rep me if you want, they are atop of the EC). We still have scoring, but less options to go to. We would become more rounded in our game. Sure, games perhaps would be less exciting, but I think the trades would make our team better not in terms of individual players but as a team. EDIT: Also, trying to make realistic trades here

Getting us the backup center we need. Not only that, he is a top notch defender so when Dwight is out of the game we still have a shot blocker patrolling the paint. We have a surplus at the PG position, and Miller wants out of Portland. Jameer for Camby straight up would not happen IMO, so the Miller trade was added and it makes sense.

I know people have lost hope on acquiring Camby, but would you like this pair of trades with Portland. BTW J-Rich cannot be traded with an additional player. Jason Richardson for Marcus Camby Jameer Nelson & Malik Allen for Andre Miller Portland needs scoring with B. Roy out, and J-Rich and Jameer can supply that. We also have 2 scoring point guards at the moment -- we can acquire Miller who is a great distributor. This leaves Portland with a thin frontcourt however, with Allen taking the backup center role. I, personally, would not like the trade from a fan standpoint because Jameer is one of my favorite players. J Rich is a great scoring option for us, he hasn't even gelled with our team yet! But from a managerial perspective, we have needs and this would solve the big problem in our rotation. What do you think? I think we should keep Jameer because of his leadship combined with his ability to hit big shots. Man, it is a hard decision. ____________________________________ Nelson/Mills Richardson/Fernandez Matthews/Batum/Babbitt Aldridge/Cunningham/Marks Pryzbilla/Cunningham/Allen/Marks Injured: Roy Miller/J Will/Duhon/Arenas Arenas/Redick/Q Turkoglu/Q/Afro Samurai Bass/Anderson/Camby Howard/Camby

We are lucky to have two great point guards repping the same team. This is a luxury and it will come back to help us down the stretch. When one PG is having "one of those days", we have an exceptional substitution promptly awaiting at the scorer's table.

we win, J-Rich goes off tonight!

All I was askin for, a good explanation. Damn, talking over the internet is hard sometimes

I don't find it funny though :ph34r:

It's all good :shard: . I'd probably follow him, but wouldn't go into enemy territory via the Blazer forum. I watch Blazer games so it'd be cool to see how he'd do in Portland. I hope we keep JJ for a long time though. I agree my friend. And I didn't look to see if the contracts match, would not do the trade anyways B) And Jareth, I still say we explore the wire. We can get cheap talent and we've been getting by with Anderson as a backup.

Yeah, but I've stated plenty of times that I am a Magic fan first. You probably haven't seen those posts (I don't blame you, there are so many posts on this board). Point is, I'd rather keep Nelson and trade Arenas for Camby. Nelson's a leader of this team and is a BIG part of our success. As for Redick, he has been progressing, and I'd like to keep that asset within this organization. He does the little things and helps with the flow of our offense. He's shown up late in games recently, it would be hard to let him go.

what's that supposed to mean?

Bumping this for the greatness that is Earl Clark. And btw, looking at the person you are talking to is a sign of respect. Reminded me of this interview here of my favorite player on the Pats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53F49bZnPuU EC looked at the camera to address the audience. When he was looking at the camera, he was grabbing your attention. And for the "alright, thanks man" thing, I would have said the same at the end of the interview. I still don't get it. BUT as for his on-court performances lately, he brings a lot of energy and hustle. I still can't believe the depth of our team. We have Earl Clark, who can produce if given big minutes, at the latter end of our active players.

K, lets not get Camby then lol

He'd rep the Magic proudly. If he gets in, I'm confident that he'll win it.

omg haven't been on TBN in so long. I fell back on the Magic games and I had them taped. Didn't want to come here because it would spoil the results haha. I'm weird like that B) . So if we get Camby, we're going to be ridiculous, and that will do big things for our second unit defense. What would it take to get him? (if i'm late on that question, let me know lol)

Yeah, but we already have a capable stretch 4 in RA. How does this solve our backup center problem?

that would be a journey. If you ever do, and if you wanted to of course, document it to capture the memory. That would be awesome

I have this on my iPod and watch it when I wake up every now and then. Gets me pumped for the day lol

Posey is a championship piece....Foster is a solid backup for Dwight (which fixes our deficiencies there). And we keep Earl Clark :D. Would do this in a heartbeat, but would Indiana?

I miss Gortat more than any of them. He was a boss -_-
