Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted February 17, 2004 neither is Vin Baker, but if I have to have a max contract on the Celts I'd rather it be from somebody who isn't drunk and can play. I'd prefer the contract be terminated though all together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfdogg 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 The Kings activated Webber yesterday, he now has to serve an eight-game suspension...three for his charges and five for violating the substance abuse policy. Going by this, his return date should be March 2 against the Clippers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2004 I predict the Kings will defeat my Celtics by 35 points tonight, we are just that bad. With all this Rasheed Wallace trade talk, I think a trade to Philadelphia would be a pretty good idea. Trade Wallace to Philly for Kyle Korver and Samuel Dalembert. Hell you could convert the Wachovia Center to a Pennslyvania state penitentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steviekick 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 I'm betting Utah gets Van Horn next. They need some names on that team (Despite hovering around .500) and the two stars on their team are both white AND Keith Van Horn went to Utah. AK-47 and Carlos Arroyo aren't "White", Sir... Also, what would being "White" have anything to do with it ? And yes, I can see Keith Van Horn in a Boston Celtics Uniform. AK's Russian. How is he not white?

I could see trading Korver though. He's damned good at shooting the three, but I don't know if his all-around skills would let him start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Ha. Webber's gonna miss Thursday's game at Minnesota. All kidding aside, that should be a great game. IMO...the two best teams in the NBA right know. The last 4 meetings have gone into OT. I expect an up tempo, high scoring thriller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted February 18, 2004 The final score: Celts 111, the Kings 127. But yes, it would have been 35 if Miller and Webber were active. Honestly, the Wolves should be able to blow the Kings off the floor, they have too frankly, if they get beaten by a weakened Kings team, it'd be just like the Kings getting beat by a weakened Lakers team or something. They have to humiliate the Kings IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 All I wanna see is a solid win. Keep in mind this is Wally's first game so the Wolves will have to make adjustments. They may not be in sync like they usually are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 Ricky Davis only scores tons of points in garbage blow out losses. I'd so much rather have Eric Williams and Tony Battie, a few solid role players could help the team a lot more then Ricky. I heard the only way the Hawks are trading Rasheed before the deadline is to get cheap, young guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2004 If I were Philly I'd trade Iverson, he may be one of the top 10 players in the game but you can't build a team around him (If that makes any sense). Back to Rasheed Wallace, If I were Danny Ainge and I wanted to make the playoffs as an eight seed I'd seriously CONSIDER trading for Wallace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 I understand what you mean about Iverson, but I don't think Philly will ever let him go. He's very over there, and the locals propably would be majorly pissed and stop going to Sixers games. Ainge shouldn't go for Wallace. This season is just about down the tubes for the Celtics and should worry about a quick fix. How awesome would it be for the Celtics/Lakers rivalry if Kobe (if he's still available to play next season) wound up in Boston? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 He's not just over. He's INSANELY popular, both in Philly and around the country. I think the Sixers are among the top teams in road attendance. If Iverson goes, the Sixers better have a damned good trade set up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted February 19, 2004 rumor du jour: Knicks get: Nick Van Exel and Erick Dampier Warriors get: Kurt Thomas, Dikembe Mutombo and Shandon Anderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 The reality is Iverson is almost impossible to trade. You have to find a player with a similiar contract. Kobe Bryant's been mentioned but he still has the legal problems, and honestly I think he resigns with the Lakers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Allen Iverson is trying to get Chris Ford fired now since Ford benched him to start yesterday's game due to Iverson skipping practice. Bleh. "We talking about practice... Practice, man, practice" Also... Prediction: Rasheed Wallace gets traded to Detroit, gets them through the next 3 months of the season and into the race for a championship, now fast forward to next season where he shall be playing in Madison Square Garden as a New York Knick.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 The Pistons would be better off going after Eric Dampier. He's a better defensive player, better rebounder, and a legit Center which the Pistons need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 He'll probably end up in Detroit anyway. Should the Knicks pick him up, they'll probably package him and ship him off to Detroit in the deal for Sheed. Sheed wants to go to New York, they want Sheed in New York.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2004 Besides being a dog and a cancer. Rasheed isn't nearly the player he used to be. He's only avearging 7 rebounds a game. If I'm a Knicks fan, I hope my team doesn't spend too much on this guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
