I will go with your judgement because you see him a lot more than I do.
He really messed with the Spurs and outplayed Duncan.
I was really impressed with him athletically.

And of course Popovich thinks he can turn any player
into a team guy if he gets a chance to talk to him
and get a feeling for him.

Thats why Iverson was not even given a whiff by the Spurs
as a 2 guard when he was up for option. Iverson probably
did not want to come to Texas anyway, but Popovich
clearly wanted nothing to do with him. Popovich did want Jason
Kidd until he met Kidd's wife. This really upset Parker at the time.

I'd take Michael Beasley over Durant. Durant is going to end up being just like Rashard Lewis. A guy that can consistently get you 20-23 a night but very little else and won't be able to go inside at all. He's going to rely on the jumper and that's it. There is a place for him and there is never anything wrong with a guy that can get you 20-23 a night. But there are also quite a few guys around the league that could do it under the same circumstances that Durant has now

This was the King...

I think you got me mixed up with Glorious Mr. Cannon.

Look no further than last years playoff stats. He stunk it up. He is only effective, imo, when he's headed to the hoop. Cant shoot a high percentage shot for the life of him. He'll wow you about 8-10 games a year, and ruin all chances in the clutch a good portion of games as well. He should be locked up for turning down the deal we offered him last year and getting an extra 30 mil I believe. HORRIBLE investment. I'll ship him to you if and when I ship Cannon his cheesteaks if he takes the playoff bet.

Ok then.
We dont want him.

We need another big man to spell Duncan.
We did not even play him tonight. They say
its a sore knee. His knees are sore all the time.
Damn we cannot beat the Lakers with this team.
Unless another injury strikes...
the Lakers.

I want the cheesesteaks.

Andre is a great athlete but not a great basketball player. Mike D'antoni system type player. I think Philly screwed up by signing him to a long term contract when I dont know who else was offering him similar money for 7 years.

Probably noone. Not many teams are that stupid, esp. coming off his laughbale playoff perfomances. Like you said, hes a great athlete. On the run is where he excels, not a player you want if you are trying to implement a set up offense. He can defend, I will give him that. I dont knw why he irks me as much he does, but Im done talking about him. Ive pooped on him enough.

We will hash out a deal come postseason time, granted they make it, which they will.

Send a cheesesteak to seal the bet down

Orlando about to go to 14-4 w/Alston including 9 of 11 with a tough 4 pt loss at Cleveland as one of the losses. Dont seem to miss him too much.

I will admit that McGrady as well has hardly been missed by Houston as they are 16-5 without him with tough losses to SA and LAL as well as 2 to Utah who seems to have their number.

The absence of Jameer has shown me that
Turkeyglue and Rashard Lewis can penetrate
very well on their own thank you.

Alston has not hurt them. Jameer would still be better imo,
but Alston is steady and better on D. It has basically shown
me that I underrated Turkeyglue and Lewis.

How do I get in on some cheesesteaks?
