Id go fot elton brand. might be a dumb reason, but i feel hes got so much more untapped potential that could be exreacted by riley, but as for duncan, i think hes playing at his best.

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:17 PM

and then duncan doesnt look like a BEAST to me. brand does.

What? You got to be kidding. With Duncan, you get an MVP. Brand is solid. Duncan can play PF/C. Brand can play PF. Not to mention that Duncan is considered one of the top 5 players in the L. Brand might/might not make the top 10 list, depending on personal preference. I can name 5 better PF's than Brand, IMO.

Duncan
Webber
Garnett(I consider him a PF)
Nowitzki(I consider him a PF)
Ben Wallace(limited O, but a beast none the less).

I really like it if we get brand but my concern is that we would be more undersized then we're already are (with grant)

But brands Block abbility maybe could compensate that a bit

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:22 PM

id rather have garnett, c-webb, and brand over duncan. they are mroe explosive. fundamentals is kinda boring to watch.

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:24 PM

btu grant wont be there forever. at least i dont wee hi wearing a heat jersey by next year.

"Fundamentals" have won a ring. "Exlosiveness" hasn't. To say you'd rather have Brand over Duncan for excitement ludacris. Duncan is one of the best players in the L. Brand isn't.

Dave-C. · 02-17-2003, 03:27 PM

Yeah no doubt about it .

Duncan alone = play off bound
Brand not even make it in an talented clipps team

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:27 PM

no doubt about it.
if u wanna win a ring, u definately need fundamentals, but im sick of having a boring team to watch int he eyes of espn and nba.com

we need ot attract, and explosiveness attracts.
ZO was explosive and was a crowd pleaser. he had the attitude no one had int he league, and i dont see anyone matching it today.
they were even saying artest would never have dared to come close ot the heat bench had ZO been on the floor.
duncan is solid, but he doesnt scare or please fans

Let me ask you this.......would you rather win(Duncan) or be exciting(Brand). Eventually, exciting wears thin. Ask many Clippers fans. One thing that never gets boring is winning. But thats my opinion.

Dave-C. · 02-17-2003, 03:29 PM

Solid ?

For years hes the main reason the spurs make the playoffs

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:30 PM

duncan has been around for a longt ime, but i only watch his games when he plays the lakers and this is the only time i praise him. or else, id watch garnett on any given day.

So you'd rather be exciting than winning?

Joker · 02-17-2003, 03:33 PM

i dont explicitly say that. both grant and duncan are solid 20/12/3blks
elton brand has untapped potential and is / could be more of an intimidator than duncan.
this is why i want him there.
who knows down the line who will be better.
brand is just not shingin because of ****ty management.
put him under riley and he would become a BEAST.

What? Grant isnt that good of a player. Duncan is the best big man in the L, IMO. Brand has untapped potential? No he doesn't. If Duncan is done improving, so is Brand. Ask and competant GM who'd they rather have, and 100% of the time they will say Duncan.

Them are the facts.
