The Robfather Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Joakim Noah... or is that Sanjaya at the NBA draft?
alfdogg Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 First huge trade of the offseason. Ray Allen to Boston for Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak and the #5.
Gert T Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Posted June 28, 2007 I don't like the trade, but I don't like the C's either. Do you think they try to re-sign Rashard Lewis now?
Boon Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 I like the idea of bringing in a veteran to play with Pierce and not losing Jefferson.
Cheech Tremendous Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 If I'm Boston, I roll the dice with Allen and hope to make an impact in the playoffs next year. I don't see how the #5 pick would help them that much when Pierce starts getting pissy 2 weeks into the season. I guess I'm in the minority. I'd say the entire SOSH message board is on suicide watch right now. You'd think they just traded the face of the franchise for Allan Houston or something.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Interesting trade. After getting West, I wonder if Seattle will go through with the Ridnour trade and grab Atlanta's #11 too to go with Durant and Green.
Boon Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 SOSH is filled with idiots. It's either take a shot at a run in the next 2-3 years with Pierce or blow the whole fucking thing up and start again.
Fökai Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Anyone want to explain that trade from the Sonics position? Trading away Allen doesn't make the Sonics more attractive for Rashard. EDIT: And like I said a few days ago, the Celtics had no use for that #5 pick. What a steal for the Celtics.
Cheech Tremendous Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 SOSH is filled with idiots. It's either take a shot at a run in the next 2-3 years with Pierce or blow the whole fucking thing up and start again. I kinda agree. The board has the most intelligent baseball conversation anywhere on the net, but the second the Celts come up they turn into blubbering idiots. The trade will make the Celtics a little better. Allen is more of an impact player than the #5 pick and his contract isn't that much worse than Wally's. It's not a franchise changing move, but it's a baby step in the right direction.
Cheech Tremendous Posted June 28, 2007 Report Posted June 28, 2007 Anyone want to explain that trade from the Sonics position? Trading away Allen doesn't make the Sonics more attractive for Rashard. I don't think there's any chance Rashard is coming back. They'll probably try to get some interest for a sign and trade.
Ripper Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Yeah, thats a pretty good move for Boston. Starting line up of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Jefferson and Mystery man(I guess Perkins). Gives them one HELL of a starting 4 in the East. Plus with who the fuck do you double off of? ... Well, I guess Rondo, but his shot is going to improve.
Boon Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I don't think the Celtics are done this offseason either. They've still got Ratliff's contract and a few other movable pieces.
Boon Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 So Jeff Green is a Sonic then? He will be tomorrow.
Gert T Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Posted June 29, 2007 Yeah, Jeff Green, Wally and Delonte West for Ray Allen.
Ripper Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Alrighty, the Bucks now have Bogut, Vill, Yi for their front court with Redd and some one at point.
bobobrazil1984 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 well Pierce had said if he didnt get veteren help, he'd ask for a trade. So that's probably why they did it. Works fine I think, though they gave up a lot.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 So who's going to be the SF and the PF for the Sonics? Just a weird trade for Seattle.
Boxer Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Alrighty, the Bucks now have Bogut, Vill, Yi for their front court with Redd and some one at point. Mo Williams Redd Villy Bogut Yi Damn.
bobobrazil1984 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I'm glad Mil picked ihm even though Yi's people didn't want it. It irritates me when draftees pull that stuff, trying to lock teams out. I mean, be glad you're in the NBA and play for the team that drafted you, and if you dont like the team, then ask for a trade later in your rookie contract.
MrRant Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 So who's going to be the SF and the PF for the Sonics? Just a weird trade for Seattle. Wilcox will probably be penciled in as the PF with the returning Robert Swift and other prospects being the C. Durant perhaps as SG (a long one) and Jeff Green at SF.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Well I was right that Brewer wasn't going to last past 7.
Ripper Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Durant can play the two guard, I don't know if he can defend it, but he seems like he could
Precious Roy Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I love the trade for Boston. Ray Allen is a great player, they've got enough young talent, they need to try and win with Pierce right now. Pierce, Allen and Jefferson is an awesome trio for the next 3-4 years. I don't really get Seattle taking Jeff Green with the pick when both him and Durant seem like natural 3's. Do they think Durant is going to become a 4? That Green can play 2? Good player but I would have gone in a different direction there. Delonte West is a damn good player in his own right and will be a fan fave in Seattle as he was in Boston. Ridnour for #11 seems like a no brainer to me for Seattle. Not sure why ATL would do that. I do like Ridnour more than most, but Law might be a better player right now, and Crittenton surely has a much higher ceiling with a few years of NBA experience.
Ripper Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Corey brewer huh.... The guy is completely worthless on offense without the ball in his hands. He is a good defender though. But Randy Foye...Corey Brewer...whats the difference besides 3 inches.
Cartman Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 Dunno how true it is but some clown on the ESPN boards says Robert Swift is coming to Boston in that deal as well. Also being talked about on WEEI
