Hey, new to the group, and I'd like to run something by everybody. I
heard a rumor about the Clippers, and wan't to see if everybody
thinks it would work. With all the free agents we're going to have
after the season, there's no way we can sign all of them back. I
heard that management might let most of our free agents go(Brand,
Odom, Miller, Olawakandi) and try to use the tons of money that
would free up, to sign two of the best players in the league, Tim
Duncan and Jason Kidd. Both are in the last year of their contracts.
I know that Kidd isn't happy in Jersey, and wants out, Duncan may be
difficult. I think if we can sign Kidd first, then maybe we can show
Duncan that the team is committed to winning. With those two guys,
and hopefully we can draft a college player that will have immediate
impact, then we can actually have a winning season. I love our guys
like Q, Maggette, and Odom, but they're complimentary players. None
are all-stars, they're just good role players. Also, they're not
team players. They care about scoring, period. We don't need that.
Sure, it's exciting, but it doesn't win basketball games, and
frankly, I'm sick of being in the gutter every year. Let me know
what you think.
