David West for Harrington, Bellinelli, and CJ WATSON

Tiny by montadaboss on

This trade would actually give us a low post threat with a nice mid range.

Star-divide

The hornets would get a nice backup for paul in a jannero pargo type of scoring point guard. Al would give them a legitimate 3 point shooter and well rounded player at the 4 in harrington. Bellinelli would give them a shooter like mo pete with more of a scoring mentality with well rounded skills compared to mo pete.  i dont know if the hornets would pull the trigger but this would help out both teams. this would also open up more oppurtunities for b wright anf give azubuike and morrow more playing time,

lmao

why would the hornets need beli when they have peja?
why would they need harrington when they have west?
why would they need cj who is a unproven pg in the league?

Buike for West straight up

By doing this, you could move peja to the 4, morrison to the 3, and have Buike at the 2 alongside Paul, with Chandler at the 5. That would be a DEVASTING lineup, and ultimately fair for all sides IMO, hahaha.

Really, take some time back, think about who they would give up for what they get, even go so far as to compare stats if you want, then come back and really try to justify this trade for NO.

more realisticly

we’ll have to give up b wright, randolph along with buike!
which doesnt sound too bad!!!
i cant see them wanting AL!!!

by hyphy cowboy on Aug 21, 2008 12:08 PM PDT   0 recs

i can't see them wanting that deal either

people know that david west is an all-star, right?

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 12:12 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

my three favorite parts

-only capitalizing CJ WATSON
-belinelli is a more well rounded mo pete.
-the idea that this trade gives wright more playing time, not less, despite the fact that we would be bringing in an all-star at his position.

i can’t wait until people from the hornets’ blogs come in to mock this one relentlessly.

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 12:10 PM PDT   0 recs

i chose not to vote

that was the only selection i could justify.

and the blazers edge folks came over in a hurry after the oden post, that everyone here said was absurd, and that guy even apologized. there was just no stopping that flood.

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 1:44 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Online presence

The idea isn’t well thought out, maybe not on the level of the Oden idea but not well thought out, but the online presence of Blazer fans (especially on the SBN sites) far outnumbers Hornets’ fans. We react fast to anything even barely mentioning our beloved Blazer babies.

I mean, Jesus, over at Blazers Edge we got threads with 800+ posts just from watching RUDY FERNANDEZ, just him, in these recent Olympics— in the middle of the night. A dude who hasn’t put on a NBA jersey yet, is only playing 20 minutes a game (that’s all any Spaniard plays), results in nearly a 1000 posts.

Blazer fans like me are stupid about the Blazers.

So this trade is just as unlikely, but Blazer fans are more likely to swarm another’s site with WHAT WHAT NO THAT IMPOSSIBLE than perhaps Hornets fans are.

You're creepy...

Have you guys over at Blazers Edge assigned different members to monitor various fan sites? This is a silly article (sillyness clearly proclaimed in the title) about players that are in no way, shape, or form related to the Blazers. And here you are, reading 20 comments down and responding coherently.

I’m officially creeped out.

by Dubs fan in Boston on Aug 21, 2008 2:35 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

My Oden-dar went off

Someone mentioned Oden, my surgically implanted chip in my palm lit up, and I pulled over right away and found a cafe with wifi to find out what I needed to do.

Kevin Pritchard had left me a message on Blazers Edge telling me that someone compared this fanpost to the bad Oden trade suggested a few months ago. He was relying on me to set the record straight.

Ok, I just like reading GSOM too and I love reading responses to bad trade ideas, and the subsequent defensive reply post by the author of the thread— “I NEVR SAID IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, JUST A IDEA DONT JUMP ALL OVR ME I AM A TRUUE FAN STOP BEEING A VIRGIN” and whatnot.

Someone said we Blazer fans jumped all over the place because of the Oden suggestion (and they were wondering where the Hornets fans were), and I was just pointing out there are a lot more of us Blazer fans ONLINE when compared to Hornets fans. So, just by sheer numbers, we’re more likely to swarm a place that mentions a beloved Blazer.

I am creepy though, so I can’t refute that.

after i made that comment

i actually went to the hornets sbn site and noticed that there is almost no activity. in fact, almost every sbn site i go to besides gsom and blazers edge is the same way. next time, before i joke about the blazers edge assault on these boards after the oden trade was suggested, i’ll have to keep that in mind. i will also keep in mind that one of you folks will surely read it, and make a similar point. it is fun to see you guys pop up on as often on sbn sites outside of blazers edge as you do. on some sites you seem to be more involved than fans of those teams. it’s great. we’ll need to have a monta ellis/brandon roy debate on the jazz blog sometime. you know, for fun.

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 2:48 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Haha

Slowly we’ll make every fan site just Warrior/Blazer talk. Blog-a-Bull has enough of a community to withstand our onslaught (they got plenty of regulars and an active writer running the site), but the others wouldn’t stand a chance.

Oh, just to get it started: Monta will likely always score more than Roy, but Roy all the way baby. PG skills, playmaking, leadership, defense, he even cured my heart cancer that the Jail Blazers gave me.

I say we do a Sergio Rodriguez, CJ Watson argument that turns ugly.

The Celtics blog at dawn, arguments at our side. Be sure to bring personal insults that have nothing to do with either player. My mother is overweight and takes money for sex, just to give you a little ammo to get us started.

Mortimer

by Mortimer on Aug 21, 2008 2:52 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

or an azubuike/travis outlaw argument. judging by some of the posts over there, and almost every post over here, it would get ugly in a hurry.

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 2:54 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Hahaha

Yeah, I try not to be too harsh on Outlaw to my Blazer brothers. He’s insanely athletic, can score on anyone, but still has a limited all-round gave and is (crazily enough) enterting his 6th season in the league.

An Azubuike vs Outlaw battle would end in all out nuclear blog war.

You know, Monta ain't bad

For a pedophile who rapes cancer victims.

Ohhh wait that was YOUR MOM ohhhhh snap.

Hey, I got a real question— how good is Ike Diogu to you guys? Not in a trade or nuthin’, but I remember you fellows were high on him before you traded him. Is it just injuries holding him back?

I dunno where he’ll get playing time, but he’s interesting to me and mostly forgotten in all of the Oden hubbub.

Mortimer

by Mortimer on Aug 21, 2008 3:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

MY MOTHER IS A SAINT!!!!!

anyway, i think diogu could turn out to be a decent player, something like a 3rd or 4th (more likely 4th) option post guy coming off the bench. it just didn’t work out for him here, and indiana was a mess, so it’s hard to judge him based on that, but if he can add a few pieces here and there to his game, he should be okay. i remember that the warriors were pretty much refusing to include him in any possible deals until that one, looks like the organization was way too high on him, but i’m comfortable with saying he’ll be an okay player. don’t expect more than that.

by cap'n hack on Aug 21, 2008 3:18 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ike...

He had that one good game against Detroit where he was beasting the Wallace Brothers, had like 26 points in a blowout. That got everyone on his nuts. But one great game in 2 years, it’s curtains.

Plus he had that Mike and Ike thing with Dunleavy, which was pretty cute while it lasted.

So um, who voted in the poll? Did this guy vote 23 times, or are people answering from a Warriors perspective only? Cause hell yeah I’d take DWest for half our team.

i m here for some time
and i must say TRADE IDEAS LIKE THIS HURT MY EYES
i’ve seen trade ideas here so many … that i’ve got allergy -especially around trade deadline
i dunno maybe those trade fanposts must be games related or something
i understand that everyone likes to “put out ideas” -i like your ideas about lineups etc. -it gives space for thinking and discussions
but
this is horrible
yeah -maybe i’d like to ‘put out idea’ Kosta 4 KG -but for some reason i m not doing this

I’m just bustin’ your balls. Chill. Lay off the kool-aid and gummy worms.

It is a bad trade proposal, sorry. But I am always looking for the latest Warriors news, especially with another 49er season of disappointment about to start. So yes, even at my J O B, I’m cruising the various sites looking for any new Warriors info. Can’t wait for training camp to open. And for the Jackson/Kosta/Wright for Dwayne Wade trade to be consummated.

Naw... trade for a time machine to get Jordan

Let’s just trade TMNT to the government for a time machine. Then we can go back in time and convince the Philly that Belinelli actually IS Sylvester Stalone, they can use the whole Rocky thing for marketing purposes, and we can get the 5th pick in ’84. We can then offer 2 future #1s (or however many it takes) to move up to #3 and get Jordan.

by Dubs fan in Boston on Aug 21, 2008 2:42 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

That's not a bad idea

Back in 1991, Jordan was at his peak and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a #1 movie at the box office. TMNT fever was at an all time high.

It would be the perfect time to trade Harrington; Reinsdorf is a cheapstake, he’d go for the merchandide and ticket sales Al Harrington is guaranteed to bring in over some bald dude.

It’s a business, after all. Wins are for chumps.

you guys crack me up. first of all, the guy who posted this isn’t the GM, owner, president, he was probably bored and had nothing to do. there have been so many “trade” proposals which none of them will happen. we are most likely done trading until the season starts, we’ll end up trading Al before February (hopefully). you guys have so much sh*t to talk but the only reason why you guys are replying is cuz the posts on GSoM recently have been horrible. i want to talk about the warriors, not Spain’s national team, not lebron vs malone. come on guys, i know there hasn’t been much going on in the warrior nation but we can come up with better crap than “franchises best players”…

In my experience

That was more a Barcelona thing… other accents didn’t have the lisp.

I could be wrong. I speak very little Spanish but I’ve been to Spain a few times and did some random jobs. I like the country a lot.

Not that I mind a lisp joke, cause those guys DO have a bad lisp (well, “bad” being relative since it’s just how they pronounce stuff).

Shhh...

I don’t care what you say. All of Spain speaks with a lisp. I don’t care about your “experience” in the place or how you say people speak differently in “different parts” of Spain. They’re all from Spain (or live there), so they all speak the same, act the same, and wear the same clothes, and they’re all completely insensitive to the plight of Asian people everywhere (especially the ones in America).

I hate Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, and Russel Peters because they make fun of white people like me. They also make fun of other kinds of people, which hurts me deep down because my ancestry is so mixed that I don't know what my official "race" is... so I get offended for all races!

Actually

You have it reversed. First of all, Barcelona, home of the Gasols, has its own language, Catalan, a Latin-based language that’s about as distinct from Spanish as Italian is. During the Franco regime, use of the language was largely repressed, but if you go to Barcelona today you definitely hear and see Catalan more than Spanish.

Second, in Barcelona, they don’t have the distinct Castillian “lisp” — aka ceceo — either when speaking Spanish or Catalan. This handy li’l map shows the lispy parts of Spain in yellow and the non-lispy parts in blue (thanks wikipedia!):

OMG U R SO RONG

LOOK PAL I AM THE WORLDS FOREMOST EXPERT ON EVERYTHING SO SHUT YOUR FACE OK BUDDY.

Yeah, I totally admit I could be (and probably are) wrong. I just remember only encountering the lisp during my time in Barcelona. No one seemed to lisp in Pamplona (much of my job was during the San Fermin festival, so of course Spaniards from all over were there meaning my lisp/no-lisp Pamplona sample is extremely tainted), Bilbao, or Madrid, or in southern Spain. Hmmph.

I guess it was just random encounters with lisping Barcelonians?

Maybe the lisp has gone away a bit?

Oooooh that Rudy Fernandez better not have that lisp or I’ll NEVER trust him as a basketball player.

Look, the main point is, Spaniards hate Asians and Monta isn’t a PG and Marco is human garbage who probably denies the holocaust. Why can’t we just agree to agree and be friends again?

Oh yeah well

Oden is is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku, and processed fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth.

Moreover, one of his legs is way longer than the other, and his physical age is actually 39, and he walks like Fred Sanford.

And he hates puppies. You should take Marco for him while you can…
