How bout a ****ing center. or a ****ing point guard
HOW MANY ****ING SFs DO WE ****ING NEED MIKE!?
FIELDS IS JUST ANOTHER WILSON CHANDLER!
LOOK AT THE MOTHER****ER!
We look like a ****ing high ****ing school ****ing team!:****off:
The centers at 38/39 are a dime a dozen now; Walsh can pick up a more seasoned center of that caliber easy. And we got a guard - shooting one.
I love the Rautins pick.. and don't question the system Walsh knows his stuff. Look at Gallo, Douglas, Walker. All questionable at the time. Studs now
Yes but NOT AT THAT PRICE
EVERY single 7 footer in the league gets at least a MLE level contract because teams know how important it is to have a big man if you want to go ANYWHERE. That's why bigs like DeSagana Diop and Erick Dampier have such huge contracts despite the fact that well they kinda suck.
We won't be able to get a big man unless we take on a HUGE contract. Drafting Solomon Alabi and/or Jerome Jordan was our best chance to get a big man for cheap - and their contracts aren't even guaranteed so we can cut them if we want to.
But no, now we're stuck having to resort to trades that HAVEN'T HAPPENED yet. Where do you propose Walsh is going to get a center from?

People need to chill. I hate the second pick as much as anybody, but after 20 years of bitter disappointment when it comes to the draft.... are we really surprised? The sad thing is.... we traded away 3 first rounders (Hill + 2 future selections) just to dump 6 million bucks off the 2010 payroll.
Imagine what will happen if we fail to land a big time free agent or two? Complete disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still, this smells like trading Wilson Chandler is definitely an option. It might not be plan-A, but... POR dealt Webster away. Drafted a PG. I'm just saying.
Rautins was a good pick. He would fill the JJ Redick role if we get LJ. Just an option to come off the bench, and serve as a sniper. At 38, our options were/are limited.
I thought we should take one shooter and one big. Alibi, Jordan or Varnado.
BUT WE HAVE TO SEE THE ROSTER come Sept to judge. Heck, what if we sign Bosh or Amare, and LJ? Keep Curry or deal Eddy for Okefor. Would we really need Jarvis Varnado then?
BUT, if Walsh gets nothing and swings and misses come free agency.... COMPLETE DISASTER.
However, only a fool would make the Jeffries deal unless he felt (heard) he had a better than 50/50 chance to land LJ. Say, for example, someone saying LJ will come to NYC ONLY if you can bring Bosh as well? Who knows. Find out next week.
Here's another thing
Rautins is 23. He will be 24 years old by the time the 2010 NBA season is a month in.
Why the **** are we drafting a 24 year old? Are we high?
Donnie, if you like Landry Fields so much, SIGN HIM AFTER THE DRAFT BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE WAS DRAFTING HIM
