Dan South Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 ?? sue me... Anyway, I think the Nets are numbskulls. They had a young, fired up team with good chemistry and a lot of upward potential. That's all gone, now. Mutombo's best years are behind him, and he never seemed that amazing in his prime. It's not like they're getting a Hakeem or an Admiral. Oh, well, one good year will have to be enough, I suppose... The Black Knight always triumphs!
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 Dude, you are completely INSANE! I promise not to start any hockey threads in August if you'll hold off on b-ball for another month or so. But one last thing... Fourpeat That's it. See you at the start of pre-season. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon
Dan South Posted August 15, 2002 Author Posted August 15, 2002 Sorry, Dude, but I'm really fuming over this stupid trade. Do I really have to wait two months to vent? AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! P.S. If Philly takes the East, I'm gonna be double bummed. The Black Knight always triumphs!

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 Originally posted by Dan South: Do I really have to wait two months to vent?No, venting is acceptable. This was a stupid trade by every definition. And, not that I give a crap about the Clippers, but they've made their own stupid trade this week, getting rid of Darius Miles. Keep in mind that the Nets did pick up Rodney Rogers and Chris Childs. It wasn't just Dikembe. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon
Magpel Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 Dan, I think the Nets are stornger now, and an early favorite to take the east again. A front line of Mutombo-Jefferson-Martin will boast the toughest interior D in the league. Rogers assuages the loss of Van Horn. Keith was a disappointment. Face it. Rogers is a better three point shooter. The Nets still lack a legit half court scorer, but Van Horn was never really one anyway. Childs was an excellent pickup, now that we know not to expect as much from him as the Knicks did all those years ago. They're not a complete team--you need a reliable half court scorer to be one--but I don't see how you can say they're worse off after this spate of trades and acquisitions. Kings signed Keon Clark, a very nice pickup for them. Kings in six against the Lakers next year. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp
Steve LeBlanc Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 And, not that I give a crap about the Clippers, but they've made their own stupid trade this week, getting rid of Darius Miles.You've got to be kidding...the Clippers just made themselves real contenders with that trade...have you looked at Andre Miller's stats last year..the guy is about as good a point guard as you could ask for. I predict the Clippers not only make the Playoffs but finish at least 4th in the conference. I think the Nets trade is a good one too...they're way better because of it. Quit whining...Football seasons starting...let this thread die until Nov. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb
Dan South Posted August 15, 2002 Author Posted August 15, 2002 Chris Childs is no spring chicken, either, and I don't see why you need CC on a team with Jason Kidd. I think it would have been a good trade if they'd gone for younger guys. KVH was a disappointment -but not a disappointment of the Kerry Kittles magnitude - but at least he was still young enough to (possibly) progress. DM doesn't have much of a future. He'll probably have to sit out a lot of the season out due to injuries. Woe is the life of a NJ basketball fan. P.S. I think this is the year that Shaq's body starts to give out. The Black Knight always triumphs!

progfusion74 Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 As a very neutral observer on the Clippers-Cavs trade, I think that one was a no brainer for the clips. Andre Miller is that good. Miles might even become an all-star but he has a way to go. http://www.indiegrooves.com/dnm/images/dnm_small.gif My Blog

Dan don't look at it as if the Nets missed their chance...they never had a chance. How many different teams does Mutumbo want to get his ass kicked by Shaq for anyway???

Andre Miller is that good. Miles might even become an all-star but he has a way to go.My point: I don't think Andre is good enough today to carry the Clips to a playoff berth, while Darius remains a huge investment in the future as a potential great player. Mark my words: h'll have a better year with the Cavs than Miller will with the Clips. I don't think this is a no-brainer at all. I'm a neutral party as well...I am less of a Clippers fan than I am a fan of many other NBA teams from other cities than L.A. Of course, I live in a city of 3.5 million people with two NBA teams and no NFL teams, so I know something is f'ed up. - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon
Steve LeBlanc Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 My point: I don't think Andre is good enough today to carry the Clips to a playoff berthI think he definitly is...his knack for creating assists was amazing in Cleveland...The Clippers have a lot more scorers (a lot of size)...he's gonna have fun. And don't forget Andre is a scorer too and a much better shooter than Miles. Miles is great and I'll miss him a lot...I really wish Cleveland had taken Lamar Odom instead. No team in their right mind would give Miles away easily but no sane team would turn down the opportunity to have a PG like Andre either. Take the emotions away and it is a no brainer. If "The Candy Man" plays as good or better than he did last season...the Lakers...well, no I'm not going there yet OK...I PROMISE I won't post to this thread anymore...going to check out the Football thread now. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb
steadyb Posted August 15, 2002 Posted August 15, 2002 Wow, it seems like only yesterday that we were doing the Baskekball thread from last season... but time sure did fly and here we are to do it all again. Kobe proving yet again he's much greater than Jordan, Shaq dominating, Vlade flopping, Dan dreaming of things that never come to pass... Go Lakers - Begin the quest for the 4-peat 4-Chick BTW Laker haters, this one's already in the refrigerator

Meriphew_dup1 Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I would like to see the Kings take the prize next season, but I'm 99% sure it will be the Lakers pulling the Quad. www.meriphew.com
steadyb Posted August 20, 2002 Posted August 20, 2002 I think the chances of the Lakers not being in the NBA are much less than 1%.

Dan South Posted October 30, 2002 Author Posted October 30, 2002 Looks like the Lakers are off to a losing season. The Black Knight always triumphs!
steadyb Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Originally posted by Dan South: Looks like the Lakers are off to a losing season. Yeah, I wonder where they hold the ring ceremony for teams that win the first game of the regular season??? By the way, did you hear...the Sacramento queens are the champions of games vs. the Cleveland Caveliers!!! Doesn't have the same "ring" to it as World Champions, does it??? (a term we're all too familiar with here in Southern California)
Jeff Klopmeyer Posted October 31, 2002 Posted October 31, 2002 Originally posted by Dan South: Looks like the Lakers are off to a losing season. Enjoy it now, Dan. You can always reflect back wistfully on this post, saying, "Oh, if only the Lakers had continued losing, I'd have been able to keep talking trash to the L.A. fans." Unfortunately, your Nets won't come close to taking the East this year anyway, so we won't even get to see another horribly mismatched finals. And the Lakers? Championship number four will come quicker than it would seem from the vantage point of October, 81 games and a few rounds of playoffs away. Word to the wise: toes heal and suspensions end. And winners win. See you next spring, during the Lakers/Celtics finals! - Jeff Marketing Communications for MI/Pro Audio My solo music and stuff They Stole My Crayon
