    it's time. tanking season is upon us...

    for better or for worse, this talented, albeit flawed lineup as it's currently constructed simply isn't working. however, it's common belief that trading either monroe or smith for a perimeter player would greatly improve the team on both ends. that presents us with a bit of a dilemma. it's...

    Bobcats 116 Pistons 106 Final

    terrible game, but JORTS was showin out! where the hell did this guy come from?? i love the way he's playing. hopefully he can keep it up and even further warrant a monroe trade...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    boozer has a much more refined mid-range game than smith and monroe, so there's reason to believe that he would be able to space the floor for smith and/or drummond better than monroe. boozer would be the first big off the bench, and with only two years left on his deal, would still leave plenty...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=kkfaqh8 boosh. chicago saves money, gets rid of boozer, and gives themselves a chance at landing a good FA next summer while adding a great young post player and a good scorer. we maintain our size down low while also adding a stopper on the wings...

    Billups Signing

    this franchise will forever be crippled by dumars' devastating decision to sign a veteran backup PG to a 2 year deal. WHY DIDN'T HE JUST LISTEN TO YOU??? if chauncey's shot starts falling from 3 anytime soon, and there's no reason to believe it won't, then his contract is well worth it. if not...

    it's not too late to go after rondo!

    jennings isn't a bad option moving forward. he has good court vision, he can play the passing lanes with his elite quickness, and he can create his own shot. BUT he is an awful on-ball defender who consistently gives up dribble penetration and/or gets screened off because of his lack of strength...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    we absolutely do get less value coming back in a simple 1 for 1 monroe-for-shumpert swap. i'm well aware of that. that's why i said NY throws in a future 1st too, but even then i can agree that monroe's value exceeds what we'd be receiving. that main problem is that it's almost impossible to...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    i really like the idea of trading with orlando, but i don't think you even need all those other teams to come up with a plausible deal. here's what i came up with: detroit trades: monroe, singler, jerebko orlando trades: afflalo, harkless, nicholson/o'quinn detroit is able to add a premiere...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    are you serious? have you ever watched him play? he's easily one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. he's not just the best defender on his team, HE'S THE ONLY DEFENDER. nobody else on that roster can play D to save their lives. please watch this...

    here's another one i came up with that i really like: pistons trade: monroe, villanueva pistons receive: shumpert, humphries knicks trade: shumpert, stoudemire knicks receive: monroe, g. wallace, villanueva celtics trade: humphries, g. wallace celtics receive: stoudemire -pistons get...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    i believe i posted that before stuckey started to elevate his game. now that cheeks has him in the perfect role, i'm all for keeping stuck around at the right price come next season. i'm thinking he'll get a 3-4 year deal for 5-6 million a year.

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    ugh you're so stubborn, it's kind of disgusting. SMITH IS PLAYING OUT OF POSITION. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT??? he's having these horrible shooting nights BECAUSE HE'S NOT A SHOOTER/PERIMETER PLAYER. if we utilized him similarly to the way we use monroe, he'd actually play up to his contract, or...

    Come the trade deadline, should Joe pursue a SF?

    what are you talking about? drummond is on the brink of greatness. smith is already a stud when used correctly. jennings is finally breaking out too. we HAVE good players. they just don't fit together. chandler would be the perfect low-turnover, high IQ floor spacer we need on offense and the...
