First Sheed, then ZBo, now Aldridge...

[RR7]

Also why would Milsap sign here if we suck so bad.

 

[Natebishop3]

When he specifically lists the years in between, no, he's not.

So what's the point of bringing them up?

Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis (4 years difference!)

When you start listing a bunch of combos that won championships and had a similar age difference, you are comparing those players. It's like Hailblazers saying that Dirk won his championship when he was in his 30s.... they're different players. They do different things. Dale Ellis played into his 40s.... is Aldridge like Dale Ellis?

Well, I thought it was pretty obvious the point of bringing them up is showing that key members of championship teams don't have to be the same age.

How can you possible be this dense?

 

[Natebishop3]

Millsap is the same age as Aldridge. Why is that somehow a better fit age wise?

It has nothing to do with age. It has to do with availability.

Aldridge gets you MKG and Gordon.

Milsap is a free agent signing to fill the hole. Either that or start Hickson (who fits the window). I don't care.

So explain it to me, oh brilliant one. What were you trying to convey with your genius post about the age differences between Shaq/Kobe and Duncan/Parker?

 

[KingSpeed]

Nate- you haven't really offered anything either. Who/what can we get for Aldridge that would make us a bonafide contender? Or is it 6 years no playoffs and then first round outs?

 

[RR7]

Availability, we have Aldridge, we don't have Milsap. And it has to do with age when you say Aldridge leaves his prime when Lillard enters his. And now you are contradicting yourself.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

cha aint trading mkg for lma

I did. You didn't see it.

I would trade Aldridge for MKG and Gordon. Move Batum to shooting guard. Bring Wesley off the bench. Re-sign Hickson for sure and maybe bring in another power forward like Milsap.

How am I contradicting myself? I want to trade Aldridge for a rookie.....

 

[RR7]

how, oh wise one(who's the snarky asshole now?) do you add Gordon, MKG, keep HJickson AND sign Milsap? You changing the CBA also?

 

[Natebishop3]

But he's an All-Star!

An Allllllllllllllllllllllll-Starrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

And he's ONLY 27.

It's been explained to you non-stop for about 20 posts now... Use that little noggin of yours, you'll get it.

 

[RR7]

By saying Aldridge doesn't fit because of his age, and you want the person taking his position to be the exact same age as him.

 

[Natebishop3]

how, oh wise one(who's the snarky asshole now?) do you add Gordon, MKG, keep HJickson AND sign Milsap? You changing the CBA also?

MKG/Gordon is about 17 million. Aldridge makes 13.5, with Babbitt and Smith it's about 17 million.

That leaves us with 10-11 million this summer. We have Hickson's bird rights, no?

 

[Natebishop3]

Aldridge doesn't fit because of his age because he is the foundation of this team....... do you think Milsap would be the foundation of the team?

 

[Natebishop3]

It's been explained to you non-stop for about 20 posts now... Use that little noggin of yours, you'll get it.

Oh god... so you can't even answer the question?

When you say that the age difference doesn't matter with Aldridge and Lillard because, hey, it obviously worked for Parker/Duncan and Shaq/Kobe.... What are you trying to say exactly? How is that not comparing Aldridge to one of the players in that equation?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Aldridge doesn't fit because of his age because he is the foundation of this team....... do you think Milsap would be the foundation of the team?

He is going to get a contract close to as much as LMAs (in per year not necessarily length) and he is no scrub. Fringe All-Star possibly at some point in his career depending on what team he goes to.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Can we just all agree that I'm a jerk and leave it at that.

Is noknobs just completely retarded? ... Serious question. Because you just quoted me as saying it's been answered non-stop for 20 posts, and then say I can't answer the question....

IT... HAS... ALREADY... BEEN...ANSWERED

I doubt that. Not in this CBA. Aldridge is making 13.5 this year. I bet Milsap gets closer to 8 or 9 per year. Maybe 10.

He has already turned down over 9 per year. You could say he is an idiot but I would have to think he (or his agent) has a better idea what he is going to get then us.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Agreed. But I think we should move this whole thing to Mt. Tabor.

And comparing those players' gap in age is stupid because THEY ARE ALL FUTURE HOFERS.

That would be awful.

Unfortunately for him there are a number of talented bigs available this summer. It's probably the worst position to be a free agent right now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Well, I mean those guys aren't Delonte West or Kenyon Martin... but they'd get us by.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Lets just say that in your hypothetical situation that you aren't going to get him for as cheap as you think. Not that it is the worst of your problems.
