i didnt see that we got 2 first round picks with it and i was pissed. and even with the 2 first round picks im not as pissed. but what does this get us? No center at all. we add two overpaid players.
Malik Rose $5,462,500 $6,008,750 $6,555,000 $7,101,250
Maurice Taylor $8,450,000 $9,100,000 $9,750,000
Malik is only 6'7 and Mo is 6'9...Sweetney loses playing time, so much for developing are young players. This is probably a kindling of the fire in trading Kurt this offseason, most likely for Kwame (the teams disgruntled with him) or Curry (whos disgruntled with Skiles) which I like. But i dislike the idea of losing Sweetneys playing time. Sweet is better then both these guys and i see him beating atleast one of them out for the back up or starting job.
So heres our roster...WITH NO BACKUP POINT GUARD!!!! or CENTER!!!
C Bruno Sundov
F Kurt Thomas
F Malik Rose
F Maurice Taylor
F Mike Sweetney
F Tim Thomas
F Trevor Ariza
G Jamal Crawford
G Allan Houston
G Stephon Marbury
G Penny Hardaway
Im going to give Isiah the benefit of the doubt and say he knows something. He finally settled that we need to forget this year and work on the next. We have 3 draft picks in the first round...we have the expiring contracts of Tim Thomas and Penny Hardaway. And the bait of Kurt Thomas. I think this mite be actually a good offseason.
In the draft we need a SG (rashad Mccants) we need a center (Johan Petro) and a PG (2nd round BJ Elder) and we still have a 1st round...i have officially changed by mind, he did good on this. Very good...
