Would you make that trade? (Artest vs Odom/Brown)
rik:
Hell no Artest is a fukin idiot he is not goin to be in the league for long. Odom and Brown are really goin to shine under Phil Jackson.

He still has a ways to go and some recognition of what it takes. We're a long ways from saying you've got to throw the baby out with the bath water in this situation. We really think that the upside of our team is with him at that position. We could go back to Kobe playing that position, but that's going to take a lot of leg out of him, put a lot of pressure on the rest of the team. This is a situation I think that we all look forward to trying to experiment with". Those are the last comments of Phil Jackson about Odom. And i remember you Odom is averaging 10 points in 6 exhibitions and has made only 15 of 43 shots (34.9%). He has a team-high 26 assists but also a team-high 20 turnovers. So he's still a working project, nothing sure. So we're starting from 0. So we could do it with another player too, let's say Artest (it's the first name i have in my mind right now). He can do the initiator too. Shit even Spree can. It's not that hard. Even Walton can.

Artest the initiator? Walton the initiator? LMFAOOO...Now I know you're kidding. The only reason Odom was even considered for the initiator job was because of his tremendous ball handeling and passing skills for his large frame. Artest is a wing player himself, it would make no sense to use him as the initiator. Same with Sprewell. You might as well come up with a new offense...

Basically Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins for a good PF. Let's say Magloire? Parker, Artest, Bryant, Mihm, Magloire. It sounds like a better team to me.

Where would we get Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins back from? LMAO...We traded them for Kwame. Nice try, genius.
--- Quote from: Antonio on October 24, 2005, 04:34:19 PM ---Put Artest in the place of Odom and it's the same, if not better. Ok, no mismatches and shit, but on the other side you have the best defender in the NBA and a guy who can go 1 on 1 against everybody, using his body probably better than Odom.

Artest would be a better initiator than Odom? Did a fuckin anvil drop on your head? Odom was drafted with expectations of being a Magic Johnson type player. Artest is not known for his passing and ball handeling like Odom is... :-X
--- Quote from: Antonio on October 24, 2005, 04:34:19 PM ---Once again compare him to Magloire (Butler+Atkins trade). Or to another good PF.
--- End quote ---
Once again, we already traded Butler+Atkins for Kwame. And Butler+Atkins for Magloire would be a fuckin HORRIBLE trade anyways. Magloire has played his prime years and is nothing but a role player with 1 lucky past all-star appearance (which he stole from Odom). Trading Butler alone for him would be idiotic...

Man i'm starting to believe you're really retard! I know we traded Butler and Atkins for Brown and Profit, fool. What i'm saying is that i didnt like that trade, and that instead of making that trade we could have traded them 2 players for a better big man, like Magloire. He doesnt have the same potential as Brown, probably, but he's an All-Star player ready to contribute now. Put P.J. Brown and - i dunno - Vlade Divac in the deal, to match salaries, and you have two big men ready to help Kobe now.
PARKER (McKie), BRYANT (Walton), ARTEST (George), PJ BROWN (Cook), MAGLOIRE (Mihm)
It looks like a better team than the actual one.

LMAO. I'm the retard?...The point is, if we traded Chucky Atkins and Caron Butler for Kwame Brown, and we traded Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom for Ron Artest, we wouldn't have Chucky Atkins and Caron Butler to trade again, you FUCKING MORON...Please make sense.

V.S.
