MagicFan7687 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I love it how soooo many people act as if we start JJ that we'll be the worst team ever, as if dwight howard isnt going to help on defense for whoever gets by him? its one position people! starting 4 all stars and 1 guy who should be on the bench.... does that one non-allstar mean the other 4 tumble?

Magician09 5 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 I would expect guys like Channing Frye and Shelden Williams to come into the conversation at some stage. Neither are anything special but are young and cheap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miller4Prez64 1 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Do you think we could really beat Boston or Cleveland if this is how our offseason plays out? Especially if the Celtics get Sheed and the Cavs get Artest or Ariza. IMO, if this is how the offseason goes. The VC trade becomes a horrible one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The VC trade becomes a horrible one. getting vc is still better than giving hedu 5 years. even if we offered hedu 5/50, there are talks about toronto offering up to $56 mil. how would you feel if we ended up losing hedu anyway and don't end up making the move for vc and our lineup looks worse?

Hedo was probably gone, but if the offseason plays out like this, it becomes a waste of time because we made ourselves worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 We actually have Vince for 3 more seasons. He can opt out after this season i think but why would he. This might be his best situation ever besides the Nets winning years. But this is better cause he never had a big man like Howard. No telling what them 2 can do together.

Rob 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2009 JJ will not start. Thats crazy. Let VC start at the 2 and bring JJ off the bench. Pietrus can start at the 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
