Would you prefer 82 from Mark Blount?

And, Etan Thomas is a poet.

mark blount = doody head

Mark Blount helped us win 44/5 (whatever the hell it was) games.

Etan Thomas was absent for almost half the season. That's not a lot of help.


We don't need another guy to sit on the bench. Raef can be there any minute, and we can always resign Vinny.

[FatMike58]

ha....vinny

[Delontes Herpes]

it's absurd to say that blount is responsible for 1/5 of our wins

a) he played less than 1/9 of our total minutes
b) he sucked for the majority of those minutes

i would love to see him revert back to his 03-04 post all star game form but at that point i just don't think he cares enough for that to happen. throughout the year he continually saw fewer and fewer minutes until he was benched for the final few games of the indy series.

i would try to trade him if we can get any positive value as opposed to just dumping his contract.

by the way, it sounds like GP is gone as he was a "handful" for doc. i don't really want him back anyway, i'd like to see us sign a mike james type who can start if need be but i really want to see how delonte would handle the starting point guard job over a full season. i think he is our longterm solution at the position.

How about a double dose of MB times two Blount and Banks to LA for this years 1st round pick and Walton to Boston. I would still like a big man that bangs and someone who will take it to the rim. When you drive you score or put pressure on the defense to stop you and drop it of to Big Al to rack it up. Hakim and Johan

Banks is NOT going anywhere, he is our starting PG from here on out...and this is from someone who thought he was terrible in the past, he's proven he is going to be very good.

I have heard that Danny is yes in fact still trying to pry Robert Swift from Seattle, yet again. I don't think he's going to give up on this one. He's got to know something about this kid. I do think he'll be a decent player but I love Perk and don't think he'll be better than Perk.

That wouldn't work. Under NBA rules, a team cannot (unless the are penalized; see the Timberwolves and Joe Smith) go two drafts without a first-round selection. We have Los Angeles' first round pick next year, but it might go to Atlanta.

i don't think danny will be that hesitant to trade banks. he made significant improvements this year but i'm still not sure that he'll ever be an above average starting PG in the league. he has shown that he is willing to trade anyone and everyone and after all, he already did trade banks once.

[Delontes Herpes]

my plan to save the celtics:

first ship pierce and toine (sign and trade) to the clips for maggette and brand.

then send blount, jefferson, and banks to chi-town for deng and duhon...this dumps blount's contract and we get some slightly more polished young players in the process.

i heard that the bulls bought out jay williams contract and that he has been rehabbing nicely. give him a contract offer, see how things work out.

send ricky davis, kendrick perkins, and justin reed to utah for carlos boozer. the jazz are looking to get rid of him because he plays the same position as kirilenko and they coudl definitely use a scoring 2/3

send delonte, raef, and pick #50 to orlando for grant hill. one injury prone albatross for another, plus delonte and jameer get reunited.

draft danny ewing with #18 and shavlik randolph with #53

sign christian laettner with our low level exception

our lineup would look something like this:

PG duhon
SG maggette
SF hill
PF boozer
C brand

bench

deng
ewing
jay will
laettner
shav

who would beat us?

No matter how much you hate him, I do too, but he did help us win games.

His jumpshot was deadly during the season....and uh...well that's about it. (Although he did run the floor very well for a guy his size). You cannot give him absolutely no credit, because he deserves at least a little of it.
