j-rich was traded b/c of salary concerns, but knowing what we know now with baron bolted, who would you rather have? and nevermind the trade that brought wright along, as he hasnt’ been a factor, at least not yet.

I’m not generally a big fan of tall PGs. The best ones are all-time greats, but few even become regular NBA starters. The odds of getting a productive PG are actually higher with a combo G like Monta. 20 points and 5 assists is the same score as 10 and 10.

Monta is not a PG, he is a hybrid guard who is going to try to grow into the PG position. Monta is like Jason Terry, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, Stephon Marbury and Gilbert Arenas, he is a hybrid backcourt player that can play either position but plays the 2 probably better than he will ever play the 1.

Let’s face it, anyone expecting Monta to turn into Magic, Oscar or Stockton shouldn’t hold their breath, because they will die from lack of oxygen.

My point is, unless we get a PG in the top eschilon category: C. Paul, D. Williams, B. Davis, B. Roye, T. Parker, we are getting second best basically, the best case scenario.

Now, the best case scenario is a 3 headed PG monster, PG by committee, Williams, Watson, Dickau. I liked CJ Watson’s perseverance last year and he’s a nice player, but no starting PG, none of these guys are great, but I think it will due for now.

I like Livingston’s game but if we’e talking ‘upside’ guys, this guy has already been in the league for 3-4 years and he hasn’t done much. I know basketball and I know talent, he does have the ability to become a quality big PG, by big I mean tall like Magic (6’8″-6’9″).

But we don’t want more questions now, just keep the PG as is for right now, I’m not a big Dickau fan, but we will see if we can hold serve for a while.

Even when Monta gets back guys, it’s not like wer’e gonna be seeing Bob Cousy or Pistol Pete or Magic, it’s gonna be a 2 guard trying to play PG, plain and simple.

Stephen can play PF but let’s face it, everytime the guy puts the ball on the floor and takes it to the basket, you need an ordained priest and 13 bishops by your side because you know he’s gonna throw a pass that ends up in Jim Barnett’s lap on Media Row courtside. He turns the ball over when he takes it to the basket and he doesn’t look where he is passing the ball.

I’m not a big Javaris Crittendon fan, he was traded by the Lakers in favor of keeping players like Farmar. That tells me that the Laker brass did not think that this guy will be better than Farmar, because the Lakers draft and trade for need usually, they saw that Crittendon was going nowhere and in all honesty last year, they may have been testing to see if Crittendon or Farmar deserved the back-up role. And what happened……….Crittendon was let go. But for a desperate team who needs a PG maybe. I have a friend who always talked about Javaris Crittendon…..it was Javaris Crittendon this and Javaris Crittendon that.

I say to hell with Javaris Crittendon, who the hell is he and what has he done. I don’t give a damn about him and I don’t think trading Belinelli to get him will help us in the PG spot one bit. But Belinelli hasn’t done anything yet either, but he can shoot and he can shoot free throws and he is a European player, so we know what wer’e getting.

Put it this way, if Crittendon’s college squad was pitted agains Belinelli’s Italian National Team, Crittendon’s squad will be wiped all over the arena, all over the arena. Thank god we are sending pro players to play internationally, because if we were sending college players, they would come back to the states with just their hats in their hands.

U cop that new JOE cd??? It’s tha bomb!!!

Now that the mascot “Thunder” is gone. How about suggesting in your capacity (If you agree) that the team adopt the “Ewok” (Star Wars) character as their new mascot? Why? because Ewoks are ferocious warriors, they fight to the end, they have their unique culture, They are known for their brave instincts and courageous traits, they win fights all the time,and yet they’re lovable and cute.

Hope you agree with me.

Ewok
