sharp/7/shooter

That's what I was saying. But still, I'm gona have to embrace this. We have close to 0 defense in our starting backcourt.

You know, J Rich to the rack is much more intimidating than a VC to the rack. Oh how time flies...

hmm...Q on Pierce, JJ or Q on Kobe? That would get messy, but Dwight's always in there to help.

JJ for 25pts

Arenas will start, there is know way we traded Lewis away for a bench player. BUT I totally agree with our perimeter defense. J Rich's lateral quickness will not get it done with Nelson and Arenas supporting him in the backcourt.

Yeah, I wonder if Hedo will ever assume the Point Forward role again. Maybe for select plays, I don't think we necessarily need that at this point though.

Nelson's been distributing well lately. His vision throughout the years has been criticized by myself and many others, but he's shown up this season. EDIT: I do agree that we're going to be launching them all day though. I don't mind that at all.

Yeah, but why be impatient and get a guy that could set your team back? That is, if you want to show Dwight that we want to win, and win now, why not explore and search for more beneficial deals? Was Arenas the only guy on the table that we could get? The Best possible player? I don't know, but I think we could have waited and gotten better talent because of that.

Who's going to back up Dwight unless we make another addition -- Allen? Orton? IDK

Maybe we'll roll with this: Nelson/Duhon/J Will Arenas/Redick J Rich/Hedo/Q Bass/RA/Hedo Howard/Clark (Kent) EDIT: How the hell is Orton doing? Seriously, I'd like to know. And maybe we want some room for Vazquez to join the party

I think we gave up way too much in these deals. Nevertheless, I'm liking J Rich...and welcome back Turkapoo Nelson/Arenas J Rich/Redick Hedo/Q Bass/RA Howard/Clark That actually isn't that bad. I would really like an additional big man and SF please.

I know, but VC and Rashard are both better suited for this team than Arenas IMO. Why would I ever want to roll the dice on Arenas? Just to see if we can do better with him than Rashard or Vince, even though we wouldn't when looking at his numbers. A trade for the sake of a trade is just not the way to go. Go out, convince someone like Melo and his team to negotiate or set up a trade that you know will benefit this team. We want a ring right?

What the funny part is...about me freaking out...is that if Arenas actually does come here to ball, I'll probably be extremely angry. We would have to give up VC or Rashard to get the dude, and he hasn't proven to me that he can produce better than what either VC or Rashard can. His salary is ridiculous, but hey, the guy is agent 0...as in the 0's in his 111 million dollar contract. But the funny part is that I'll eventually root for him. He's on my team. If he's here to stay, my thoughts aren't going to do sh** about it...but if he produces, i'll respect the guy. I hope he kills it for this team if we get him. I want Melo though.

Carter2TheTin

GTFO <_<

Iguodala would have put him in his place. But seriously, in every game we play guards go to the line at will when Dwight isn't checked in. Holy s**t, I thought Tony was in Philly

http://voices.washin...rious-disc.html If it was private how the hell did it reach outside the arena. We don't need this, we really don't. I'm officially panicking.

:shard:

Carter for Arenas would be the death of me

Would love Arenas though, if we still get Melo.

**HYPOTHETICAL TRADE** This is starting to look like paradise compared to the Arenas Trade: http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2fmqvhm As much as I love Bass and Gortat, I'd let them go for this. Hawes has been beastin lately. Nelson/J Will/Duhon Iguodala/Redick/Q Lewis/MP/Q/Kapono Hawes/RA/Allen Howard/Speights or Nelson/J Will/Duhon Redick/MP/Q/Kapono Iguodala/Q/MP/Kapono Lewis/Speights/Hawes/RA/Allen Howard/Hawes/Speights

I had Arenas stats on my computer screen and my bro looked at it and laughed. He asked me why the hell I was looking at Gilbert Arenas and I told him about the aforementioned deal that might happen. He laughed and said he's a cancer to the team...I kind of agree, oh man -_- . I can see him chuckin up shots all day -- he averages 15 per game, more than any member in our starting lineup. This, combined with his horrid FG% and his questionable 3-point shot (31%) this season scares me. He averages 5.6 assists per game with a 1.6 assist-to-turnover ratio which is statistically worse than Nelson (7.1 APG, 2.7 A/T ratio) and VC (2.9 APG, 1.78 A/T ratio). This might be a ridiculous statement, but I'd rather have Nick Young. Athletic and a sniper from the outside. This kid has impressive hops and is about as successful defensively as Arenas. I wouldn't trade VC for Young, but you get the point, right? PLEASE, I know Otis was Arenas' mentor, but omg, Melo, Iguodala, anyone really, looks like a savior to me compared to Arenas.

What I take from this is that he wants more shot attempts. He said he's been passing up his offense for Dwight, VC, and Jameer's sake. I don't know if I like this, but I respect his passion. Hopefully he makes the extra attempts, then we can roll with this.
