exodus Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Last summer a lot of us were saying that we would like to get Biedrins from GS in an Al trade. Obviously they were right to hold on to him. So far this season he is averaging 11/10 with 3 blocks. Over the last 5 he is averaging 16/13/4. He would be a perfect fit here but most likely wasn't on the table unless we took one of their bad contracts. Of course it probably would have been worth it if we did take a bad contract in order to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutz Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yeah this kid is straight dominating right now. We would have had to at least take Murphy's bloated contract but I still don't think they would have parted with him either way. It was mostly Pietrus and Murphy that they were willing to deal from what I heard. All their fans on realgm.com said he was completely off limits when we were discussing the Al trade. They were right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeye Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 They don't like Foyle and Dunleavey as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted November 29, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Funny how much grief I took over at realgm.com and over here for wanting us to go after Biedrins and once again I was proven right in spades. I would have easily taken on Murphy's contract to get that kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Some homers thought Zaza was as good/better than Biedrins, so why trade for him? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Sothron Posted November 29, 2006 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'd much rather have Biedrins than Zaza. He's a much better defender, has a great motor and has some very nice post moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had as much capitol this offseason as any team. Just seems lame to come up with so little in our last big offseason (should be) for awhile.
