Get the deal done please.

[reese125]

man, imagine the defense on this team if stefanski tossed iggy and dalembert to the suns for amare in that trade

they might not win a single game after the all-star break and that much closer to a lottery pick

[phattymatty]

that should be the point, but you know amare will go on a tear in the east and some others will pick it up and they will squeeze in the playoffs.  i actually like iggy but blow it all up now.

[MDS]

amare will sleep walk through games and barely show up if even at all. not that i blame him or care.

[ice grillin you]

if the sixers deal for amare they better get an assurance of some sort that hes not gonna pick up his option for next year otherwise this deal makes no sense

[MDS]

oh i didnt even know he an option

i wouldnt past stefanski to ignore that or assume amare wont pick it up

[The BIGSTUD]

He said he might pick up his option, but he only said that because he so badly doesn't want to be a Sixer. There is no chance he'd pick it up if he were traded here. Who would want to be a part of this mess?

[MDS]

someone who wants to get paid for a year of doing nothing

[The BIGSTUD]

All the reports I'm reading says he wants to play for a contender.

[ice grillin you]

he can play for a contender in 15 months when the market might be better than it is now and he wont have to compete with the monster 2010 free agent class


not that theres any guarantee of getting with a contender in the nba because if the team was good enough to begin with then they cant afford a max or close to a max deal anyway

[reese125]

one of Stefanskis problems here is hes trying to shed salary--and get a young piece back to justify his moves of letting Iggy, Dalembert/Brand go to keep fans in the seats.

that in my opinion is the wrong route to take that could very well end up killing all trade opps. nobody that comes back here via trade is going to be as good as the players you give away, nor are the player/s going to be the cornerstone or a major contributing factor of success for this franchise.

if Cuban asks for Iggy and Brand you jump all over it, take the expirings, blow him in the back office, and shake his hand goodbye. the goal at this point should be to shed as much salary as possible and look to be a big player in FA in the 2 years ahead. I just think Stefanski is nervous as farg right now which will result in the wrong moves

[ice grillin you]

godfather with 13 straight games of 10+ rebounds....only one other player in the nba has done that this year

someone not watching the game guess who it is

[MDS]

Dwight

[ice grillin you]

good guess but to obvious if that was the answer i wouldnt have asked the question...

btw did you peep the boys tonight...lookin GOOD son!
