Punk-kun..

Thoughts on Darko Milicic?

 

[Punk]

I like the guy, I was all for him in 2006 but he's not the Center the Knicks need right now but I could be wrong.

If I were Donnie Walsh I would wait to pick up Marcus Camby or Chris Kaman since one of those players will be on the Trading Block soon.

 

[Milky Rose]

Personally...I like him too. I just don't like how Larry Brown ruined his career by not playing him until the end of the 4th...where the Pistons were already leading by 20+.

Even then, he showed that he's a more than capable center. Perhaps D'Antoni can make something out of him if he does get traded to NY.

Also...As a Clippers Fan...I'd rather they keep Kaman rather than Camby. While I do admit that Camby is one of the most premier defensive centers out there, he's on the tail end of his career. Kaman, on the other hand, is still pretty young....and pair him up with Griffin, he'll post All-Star numbers again.

Shaq done got traded... again. First Orlando, then L.A., followed by the Heat, after that the Suns and now the Chavs. Only 25 more teams to go.

Wait...when did Ben Wallace join the Cavs? last I remember, he was still with the Bulls..I think. lol, I pay no attention.

Good for LeBron to team up with Shaq though. Let's hope the Supermen can get a title.

It's a good trade. It's even better for Phoenix. However, this ruins any chances of LeBron signing with the Knicks or Nets in 2010 but if they don't win a title next year, then hope is still alive.

The Cavs Get:

Shaq

Suns Get:

Ben Wallace
Sasha Pavlovic
46th Pick in 2009 Draft
500,000 in cash.

Sorry about the Double Post but this was just too good not to post.

If I was a Suns manager, I better use my draft picks. The last couple of seasons, we traded our picks, and you can see how things went.

I hope Wallace & Pavlovic can handle Phoeinx's uptempo play.

^ I feel really bad for wallace, he went from a star to a flop in the blink of an eye.

From what I've heard, Ben & Sasha probably will not wear the Suns' Purple & Orange this upcoming season.

Sheesh, my Suns slash money like they're in a jungle pruning vines.
