December 29th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
hey dakota, one of my sisters ex boyfriends live in houston. said he heard a rumor of the lakers sending walton, morrison and sasha to hou 4 tmac. i personally havent heard anything. but if u could get walton and sasha contract off the books, as this is mcgrady’s final yr on deal (23 mil) i’d consider it. we need bench player that can score

Dakota
The thing about Kawakami around these parts is EVERY team in the area hates the guy, not just the Raiders. Don Nelson wants to personally hand this guy his ass for his bogus reporting of rumors as fact.
Nellie has publicly stated on many occasions how much he would LOVE to beat the sh1t out of that Pot Smoking Kawakami.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
New Englandraider,
Really? I don’t know, I think we need the depth. To me, McGrady is about to end his career just like Iverson…can’t perform anymore, but thinks he should be the man.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Kawakami does have some puffy eyelids, which could suggest he burned a fatty before that infamous presser….
December 29th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
But, Buss may very well do it to clean some money off of next year’s books…I just hope it doesn’t hurt the team this season. Sasha and Walton could become very important in the post season if there are any injuries….and McGrady would never learn the triangle in time to help the team this season…
December 29th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
he’s a lot younger than AI. granted he is often injured, but i watch a few rockets games on league pass, as ariza was a fav of mine. the few times i saw tmac play, albeit very limited minutes, he looked ok. we should look into it. also maybe jerry stackhouse. we should stop talking lakers tho becuz they playing warriors 2nite and their fans on here are gonna get angry
December 29th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Lakers and McGrady ???
Hell, why not!
Walton, Kardashian, Morrison, and Farmar for McGrady and Landry!
December 29th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
Why wouldn’t Houston just let McGrady walk after this year and use the $23 million to sign free agents?

You could start by thanking us for beating the SH!T out of the Celtics for you last night.
I get soooo angry when Dakota talks about the Lakeshow
December 29th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
we really dont run too much of the classic triangle. we seem to go into when our offense bogs down. phil himself said we’re running at times a triangle and other times not. i like walton as a team 1st type player, but he is hurt all the time, and has his head up his own a$$ as he is turnover prone like farmar
December 29th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
easy raider dogg. E z. lol thanks for beating the celts. quiet here in mass. 2day

Dogg, I do appreciate the Ws beating the Cs last night, but they better be ready to get waxed tonight by the Lakers.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
dakota… tmac wants too play. adelman doesnt want to play him as much as he wants. he has left the team, sorta like Ai did with memphis. trading odom is a possibility, but with the lakers re-signing gasol, i think they are gonna try to trade bynum in the offseason. i hope not, but with AB KB LO & PG, their salaries alone put us at over 65mil
December 29th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Dakota
Watch out for the W’s man. They will sneak up on you and slit your throat.
Or lose by 20…
December 29th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Trading Bynum ????
WOW!
I’d be talking to OKC if I were the Lakers. Westbrook and Jeff Green for Bynum!
December 29th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
New England raider…I don’t think they will trade Bynum. Jerry’s son Jim, who is now the heir apparent, convinced Dr. Buss to draft Bynum. I think Bynum will be with the Lakers for a long, long time.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Bynum isn’t going anywhere
December 29th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
what Dakota said
December 29th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
lol raider dogg. its hard over here with the patsies fans and the lepers. u should see all the leper fans that have crawled out from under their wet rocks in recent yrs. i dont cheer for any local team. lakers raiders and dodgers. i was born and still live on the wrong side of the country. but u all should know, me and my dad represent raider nation to the fullest over here
December 29th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
The only way I see the lakers trading Bynum is a package deal with LO or Artest to Cleveland in a sign and trade for LeBron James this summer.
December 29th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
Or how about talking to the Ws for Bynum?
Turiaf, Maggette, and 2 #1’s.

i hope bynum goes nowhere. he just doesnt play well along side gasol. he’s better a 1st post option. his numbers as well as effort have been in question since pau’s return. on a lakers blog, lakerstopbuzz from ocregister says bynums right knee has been giving him a little trouble of late also
December 29th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I was getting to that one Dakota, lol!
Bynum, Kardashian, and Sasha and 2 #1s to Cleveland for LeBron and Shaq.

JHill,
Post #256 — Right on the money!
Cable is just trying to save his job. Nothing else. He goes from NFL Head Coach to a college position coach if he gets dismissed. Unless of course, Jim Mora Jr. saves him by bringing him onboard.
Perhaps if “Coach” had given Javon Walker a chance to help out and wasn’t so devoted to Fargas….maybe we eek out a victory too….or his 4 verticals from the goal line.
Get this guy OUTTA HERE!

but take the song Rock-N-Roll Band 4 instance.All it is is just a simple 2 chord blues pattern but then takes an F# instead of the normal D turn and step it up 1 beat and VIOLA simple great song!

December 29th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Warriors suck! They let Nelson dictate everything and fell for it….just so Nelson can earn more money.
They should have kept Mullin….but Rowell got suckered by Nelson.
I can’t decide who is a worse owner….Al Davis or Cohan! LOL
December 29th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Is there any reason why no.2 is not playing? Fry is just as bad if not worse. if cable is trying to prove to everyone that no.2 is the fault for the season he is digging his own grave. Mr. davis must be pissed.
December 29th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Al Davis needs to FIRE himself for letting Gruden go and creating this mess!
December 29th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Go Warriors!!!
This would be typical Warriors, beat the Celtics and Lakers at home, give us fans some hope and than…..
A 1-3 road trip, followed by a home loss to Sacramento.
At least we got some bigs back and don’t have to play 7 guys with Radmonvich at the 5.

I think it goes beyond on the field performance. Lots of rumors out there, and Jerry always tap-dances around some “off-the-field” questions.
December 29th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Troy Smith, RFA Ravens should be AD’s first thing to do – get us a QB that can become a real elite NFL starter. I’m not sure what the penalty (compensation) is for the Ravens but I think it’s a 5th or 6th round pick. Smith for a 5th or 6th round pick would be a steal. Al should trade for him ASAP.
He should throw JaBustus in the deal back to the Ravens for free. Let him screw up their team like he has ours. Somehow I don’t think he’d last long at the Ravens. Ray-Ray would probably cap his lazy ass in record time.
December 29th, 2009 at 1:48 pm

Look, if they have given up on Russell…then its time to just move on. No point in extending this out. Davis makes more bad decisions than good ones…so just add Russell to the ever growing list of bad, bad, bad decisions.
I would like to see Fassell hired as head coach. At least he’s a professional playcaller and I would trust him with the roster than Cable who uses B.S to determine who plays and doesn’t
December 29th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
You da man! Dakota!
December 29th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
SnB, would Fassell take all the stuff from upstairs? I don’t think for what AD wants to pay, and control, would anyone come here, IMOP!
December 29th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
the raiders suck so bad my family and dog stay away from me on sundays. its been seven years since we look foward towards sundays. they should make a law where raider fans get to get sh*t faced drunk on sundays and get to call in to work on monday
December 29th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
860Todd Christensen,
Fassell was a QB coach here in the mid 90’s..a time when the Raiders were at least competitive…for the most part…
Fassell has also openly asked for the job as well. So he knows the deal here in Oakland as well as Tom Cable…if not better.
Fassell as a QB coach would be huge for a team that hasn’t developed a QB in 30 years…he will manage Davis’ ego and accept what comes down hill.
Most importantly, we will see a more professional playcalling and use of players. The O-Line will go back to power blocking and Bush and DMAC will be used more intelligently. Hopefully Marshall sticks around too.
Also, with Fassell’s network, he might attract some higher caliber assistants than what currently available,
December 29th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Fassel
Gilbride
Billick
hell even D. Green
I’d take them all over Tom Cable.
Fassel has helped develop QBs, solved RB fumble issues, and taken a team to the SB…how could he not be better than Cable?
Just because Cable sucks Al’s nut sack, or like you guys say, works well with Al, doesn’t mean we should keep him for crying out loud.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Cable is out, Davis maybe allowing cable to make a point to no.2, but that does not mean he pleased that cable could not get through to him. If you win Davis give you rope, when you lose and you dont lose his way you are out. Trestman for hc in 2010
December 29th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
Cable said he did an exceptional job???!!!?? What kind of dope is he smoking, and can he score me some? Outrageous, what happened to all the talk about accountabilty? You throw your qb under the bus, and say its mainly his fault. No way cable can come back now, Mr. Davis wont like it. Are the dropped balls, lack of o-line play, lack of tackling and bone headed play calling no.2’s fault as well? What about the failure to utilize bush and mac 20, thats on jamarcuss. This dude is full of it.Cable stinks out loud disconnect him if you want any chance of saving no.2.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Couldnt care less about that freaking chat….
December 29th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Fassell wants to be here. His son is here, and he has coached with the Raiders before.
I got the chance to watch and listen to Fassell with the whole LV Loco’s thing, he handles the media well, and has a very no nonsense approach to things. He wants to be a NFL HC again, and there are only 32 of those jobs.
He seems to be a guy players like to play for, and more of an offensive guy than a defensive guy. He took the UFL seriously, said all the right things and won the championship with JP Losman. Things are forming into place for him to come here, although Al would do something stupid like have him interview for the OC job first or something bizarre like that.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
First thing Fassel should do when he gets here though is fire his son. ST has been very bad under Fassel jr.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
I’m not saying to keep Cable guy, but so long as AD is breathing, I do not see any great hope for this team. I want power blocking back, people on the line to do it, and give the QB, whoever it is, more than 1.3 seconds to let a play develope and throw. Our RB’s are running into our front line and stop, there are no holes, and WCO for our team is a joke. No matter how many ways you try to fix something and it doesn’t work, you still get the same result. I can only blame the Owner, there is no GM to be accountable!
December 29th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Fassel stinks, Trestman would be a huge upgrade as head coach. He also coached here before, does wonders with qb’s and he runs the kind of offense Davis loves. His offense score lots of points.

December 29th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Jerry noted in his “chat” that Trestman left on bad terms here. He is not coming back.
I think, but do not wish, that Cable is coming back. Him and most other coaches go into the last year of their contract next year. With the lockout of 2011 looming, lots of lame duck coaches and assistants next year.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Jim Fassel…at least he sounds intelligent….

December 29th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
Everyone was on bad terms with callahan, I havnt seen anyone make that claim about trestman and davis. Callahan was a roach that threw everyone under the bus, coaches players etc. His name is getting a lot of buzz and several writers are connecting him to oakland. He would be a great fit, he meets the Davis criteria, and he has been a bay area guy on more than one occasion. He will get a look when cable is gone. I beleive also interviewed here for oc a couple of years ago before he went to canada. Post callahan. He wants to be a hc and he has lots of connections to people on the gruden/ holmgren/ walsh/ davis tree.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

Vegas, I live an hour and 15 from NYC, but don’t root anyone but the METS, but follow NY sports, just to see what they are up to, Fassell was treated very well by Sports Writers, where in NY they can really carve you up.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:45 pm
doesnt anyone remember how fassels teans under performed, save the super bowl run. he was so uptight his teams would often choke, we dont want that here.

December 29th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
I always thought Fassel’s teams had a tendency to underperform during the year but than stepped up a the end of the year and made the playoffs.
Made the SB with Kerry Collins, and smashed the Vikings 41-0 in the NFC championship game.
Better than the alternative I believe.

I would maybe agree with Billick, but not Denny Green.
For what it’s worth, I went to the opening night UFL game that had Fassell and Green as the coaches. Fassell won by 3 TD’s and Green’s team had a ton of penalties. It was obvious which coach had his team more prepared to play.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:56 pm
fassel is clearly better than cable, but not good enough. we cant win with a guy that cant get the attention of the players from start to finish. Fassel is too…..milk toast. He is the nerd that is afraid to ask he girl to dance. We ned a much stronger personality, and coach that will employ a scheme that stretches the field. Not the ultra conservative fassel style.
December 29th, 2009 at 2:56 pm

***
I thought Sammie Lee Hill would have been a solid 4th rounder to pick up and groom to eventually replace Warren on the D-Line, but Al opted to give undrafted undersized Desmond Bryant a shot there and trade for Dick Seymour with only 1 year left on his existing contract
now I think we have no choice but to trade up and take Suh.
DE Ellis
UT Kelly
NT Suh
DE Seymour (pay the man!)
Scott, Shaughnessy, Richardson, Bryant & Joseph = adequate depth I suppose
December 29th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Fassell 58-53 with the Giants, a professional football organization. Not the Raiders.
December 29th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
SUH!!!
Get Seymour to mentor him during his Franchised year. Don’t expect huge returns from Suh year one anyway. Look at guys like Dorsey and Ellis, but shoring the D line might help the run D.
Davis seems to prefer pass rushers to run plugs, but we’ll see won’t we?
I don’t take anything for granted and have realize the folly of a Raiders draft board especially after last years debacle, but really, he’s always kind of been that way hasn’t he?
Ray Guy, Seabass, ect…
December 29th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Green is a qb super guru. Look at what he did for culpepper, and cunnigham. He also coached moon. Not to mention he was able to squeez a very good season out of the biggest, most immature jack ass of all time…Jeff George!! He would be able relate to no.2 and develope his game. That is what we need in the next head coach, someone that can salvage no.2. If no.2 flops we will be set back another 5-10 years.
December 29th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
my appologies to S&B Defense.
I blamed 90 percent of the run defense on Rob Ryan last offseason. clearly Robbo still can’t stop the run in Cleveland, but we sure don’t have the players here in Oakland to get the job done either. I still think Marshall & Co were an improvement on defense, but HOW MUCH of one isn’t that glaring.
we should have drafted BJ Raji, even though Crabtree would fit nicely here (looking at DHB as the alternative)
