Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I just read on inside hoops that Phoenix got Skita for a 2006 second round pick.....What? What in the hell was Billy Knight doing? You mean to tell me that we couldn't get Skita since our 2nd rounder will be waaaaay better than the Sun's. And I want somebody on this board to tell me that Skita wouldn't be a better option off of the bench than John Edwards, Esteban Batista, or Royal Ivey. Why haven't we made a move? Any move? We are 11-28...to not make a move is an insult to the season ticket holders, fans and the entire city for that matter. No one is accountable for this season. We are letting Billy Knight's ego destroy this franchise. I think that in his mind a trade means that Belkin wins and so we have to ride or die with this piss poor roster. All I know is that if I was in Atlanta Spirit and I paid millions of dollars to buy a part of this team then I would be mad as fu*k right about now...hell I only spent a couple grand on season tickets and I am mad as hell. I agree that we shouldn't make moves just to make moves but sh(t we aren't even rumored in anything anymore. And when we get slaughtered by 40 today by the Suns I will wake up on Saturday morning and a move still wouldn't have been made. This sh*t sucks!

Final_quest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I wouldn't have traded our 2nd rounder for Skita. Look what we got with that pick this year. Our 2nd rounder is essentially a late first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Absolutely nothing..but you mean to tell me that a former # 3 pick isn't worth taking a look at but we can pay John Edwards a million bucks? We need bodies..who aren't stiffs. I guarantee he will go to Phoenix and all of a sudden become AK-47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diesel Posted January 27, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think Denver was burned on the Skita pick. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have went after him, I'm saying that he hasn't done enough in the league to be all up in arms because we didn't get him... It's like crying because we haven't picked up Mateen Cleeves. Coming out of MSU, people thought Cleeves was the best thing since Sliced bread. Welp...

Final_quest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Agreed. Skita is not worth throwing the 31-33 pick in the draft at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 skita won't help us...he's a sg with a pf's height...he can't defend or play in the post skita keeps bouncing around because teams keep thinking he can be the next dirk; but i don't think he's gonna pan out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Like I said..watch him go to Phoenix and become AK-47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 ak47? he may become a posey or even a peja-lite, but he doesn't have near the defense or the versatility of an ak47 he may do well in phoenix' system with nash and marion, but he won't be anything like ak47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted January 27, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Quote: Like I said..watch him go to Phoenix and become AK-47 That isn't remotely possible. Skita is an offensively gifted, long softie Euro. He is nothing like Kirilenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 You all are missing my point....AK-47, Peja, Dirk...it doesn't matter he is going to become a stud in Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I never did understand the skita hype. And that's coming from a guy who would like to get darko. Skita has never shown anything. BK intends to get real bigs this offseason. Assuming you get 2 (i.e. Aldridge+Nene), you don't have room for 2 new bigs + Pachulia + Anderson + Skita Skita would end up cut or inactive. I'd rather keep what amounts to a very late 1st rounder and try to adress a need. Besides, we should be bringing over Anderson, who is a better Skita.

All you predicting an All-NBA caliber player like those guys? He hasn't done nearly what any of them did their first 3 years in the league and none of them shot out of the box.

Nicholasp27 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 he may become a stud in phoenix due to their system but he wouldn't have here this isn't nbalive...we have to get people that fit and we don't need a 3pt shooting softy big...we need beef defense and rebounding in the middle and woody woulda treated him like diaw and he wouldn't have played even if he did do well bottom line is he doesn't fit bk's blueprint for this team or the direction this team is, and needs to, go so why waste a 2nd rounder on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 exactly best case we keep zaza and bring over andersen and we draft a big like shelden/aldridge and sign one like pryz/nene if u keep any of batman/edwards/thomas/skita it'd be batman cause at least he has a chance to become a defensive rebounder once he learns the nba and stops fouling andersen is closer to an all-star center than skita will ever be to dirk/peja/ak47...he at least averages 15/8 as one of the stars on one of the best teams in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 there are 13 spots on the roster...here is what i'd like to see true pg who can also defend ivey jj slim marvin chill donta smoove batman zaza andersen aldridge/williams nene/pryz we'll have defense on the perimeter (pg/ivey/jj/chill/donta) and in the post (smoove/shelden/nene) we'll have 3pt shooting (jj/slim/marvin), slashing (chill/marvin/smoove) and paint scoring (marvin/smoove/zaza/andersen/shelden) we'll have 4 players capable of the pg position: pg/ivey/jj/slim we'll have 4 players capable of the sg position: jj/slim/chill/donta we'll have 5 players capable of the sf position: jj/chill/marvin/smoove/donta we'll have 5 players capable of the pf position: smoove/shelden/andersen/nene/batman we'll have 5 players capable of the c position: zaza/shelden/nene/andersen/smoove so we just need to convince denver to do al for dre (or portland to do al for one of their pgs) and then draft shelden/aldridge, bring over andersen and sign nene/pryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 We make 1 good 2nd round pick in 20 years and all of a sudden they are worth gold now?

Add a decent coach and that is a competitive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascar78 Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 the point is now we are getting really (REALLY) high 2nd draft picks. This draft looks like last draft. No true star (Lebron) at the top, but very deep with lots of even talent. So a 31st or 32nd pick is like a 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybravo4 Posted January 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am tired of boring players I want a star. Trade Al/Delk for Francis. sign Nene and draft Adam Morrison. Franchise/Lue JJ/Salim/Morrison Marvin/Childress Smith/Nene Zaza/Batista Edwards Head coach Stan Van Gundy We'd run folks out of the gym every night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
