The problem is that all our guys are far from elite. We have a couple Ricky Proehls and Az Hakims, at best, and no Isaac Bruces or Torry Holts. Martz always had great receivers in St. Louis.

50 catches, 700 yards, 13 YPC in his 1st year of playing indicates he's at least decent. It's almost inevitable that someone is going to put up numbers when you drop back and pass a lot. He's a compiler, not a difference maker. Dude is afraid to get hit.

Earl Bennett isn't any good.

Because I think the handful of Bulls fans that would say Rondo is better than Rose probably just look at the box score and see his incredible stat lines. If they would watch the Celtics play they would probably be unfamiliar with their understanding of proper spacing, pick and roll execution, and long range marksmanship because they usually only watch Bulls games. And I'm not really just talking about Rose. I'm challenging the assertion that Rondo is in the same class as guys like Deron Williams, Chris Paul, and Steve Nash. I don't think he is. Those guys' teams can't win if they play bad and they can't compete with top teams unless they're spectacular. You can't say that about Rondo and the Celtics. Therein lies the difference.

You have to watch the games man. Basketball stats just aren't there yet. The Celtics can win a championship with Rondo merely being good. A guy like Nash or DWill has to play out of his mind just for their teams to compete with the Lakers. Rondo is playing with the greatest off screen shooter in league history, a top 5 Celtic, and probably the best pick and roll defender of all time. It's just easier for him.

A hockey buddy of mine submits that Tom Barrasso vs. Ed Belfour in 1992 was a bad one.

I don't really know what I'm talking about. I do know that I've seen a lot of Penguins and Wings fans gripe about Fleury and Osgood over the years.

Rondo's been atrocious the last two games, BTW. I mean it's good on the Celtics that they can still wax Orlando. The only way you think Rondo is one of the best PGs in the game is to look on his game in a vacuum. It's so much easier for him than it is for Nash, DWill, Rose, Paul, etc. to thrive. To suggest that he has nearly the same responsibility on his shoulders as Rose does on the Bulls is borderline insane. The Bulls wouldn't be up 3-1 on any team in the NBA if Rose had 8, 9, and 11 points in three of the games, let alone the Magic.

And Rondo was integral to that championship team.

Marc Andre Fleury vs. Chris Osgood.
-
Just Phil trying to force the Lakers to pay him his 12 million a year to coach them. I really doubt the Lakers pay him that much. As valuable as the Lakers are Jerry Buss isn't one of the wealthier owners in the league. Now the Knicks or Nets could be big players for Jackson if the bidding gets nuts.

If you're going with a strict platoon shouldn't it be Baker/Fontenot?
-
I suppose if Hedo's contract is so bad that they feel the only thing they can do is take a less bad (but still terrible) contract in return then I could see a S&T going down.

Right, that is what I said...... :roll: Hey man I'm on your side. -
I still don't see why Toronto would take back significant salary in any S&T deal.

RedFlash thinks we're winning the Cup, signing Lebron and Bosh, and that Cutler is going to go for a 70% completion rate, 5,000 yards passing, and about 45 TDs on top of winning the Lombardi Trophy. And of course we're talking a minimum 8 peat by Bama football. -

Hossa's amazing at protecting the puck with his body. -

I'm a huge cubheadkev fan already. -
WF22 said earlier that the salaries don't have to match in a S&T as long as you're under the cap. The problem is finding someone to take Deng. Who would want him at 3 more years at over 13 million a year?
-
Really? I guess there are more whiny NCAA moralists than I thought. Big business and honest amateurism cannot coexist.
-
Is there anyone on the planet that thinks one iota less of Marcus Camby and Derrick Rose for those supposedly egregious violations?
-
I don't see anyone in denial about that.

Does not compute.

That sucks.

Russia is playing Canada right now in the world championships. Russia brought a bunch of studs (Ovie, Malkin, Semin, Datysuk, Kovalchuk) and Canada is playing a bunch of guys I've never heard of.
