define banger. blocks shots and commits a lot of fouls, but career rebounds/48 is average or below for a PF and he doesn't post up that much. if you mean relentless interior rebounder like millsap i don't think he qualifies.

No he is no Milsap. But then Milsap is putting up allstar numbers and starting next year will get paid like one.

Why is everybody talking about Turiaf? He's the throw in for this deal.

Jamal Crawford . . . no thanks. Gunner who's inconsistant at best. He's a gifted enough athlete to create his own shot, he just doesn't shoot straight all the time. Career .403 is awful to me, and it's not b/c he's played on bad teams and had to force shots. You could argue his percentage would be HIGHER (playing on bad teams) b/c he's playing in meaningless games that are decided by half-time. Plus, most of the bad teams JC was on weren't bad offensively, so it's not like he was being double/triple teamed every night.

Just look at his last 5 games, he's 5-26 from deep. He has stretches where he gets hot, but he's too up/down.

I'd rather let Raef expire than go there.

crawford expires this year. that would give us some caproom to go after who IMO is KP's guy, kobe.

edit:nvm just forget this post

Career .403 is awful, I agree. Our current PG is a career .409 but I am thinking nobody would consider Blake an awful shooter. Since he isn't much of a creater, in fact, that's almost all he is asked to be is a shooter and "caretaker". Crawford also doesn't turn the ball over all that much more than Blake does.

 

[MickZagger]

exaggeration, and probably more true of turiaf than diogu anyway (mihm, bynum).



the overall talent level of the team is irrelevant.

It seems to me the way your talking about Turiaf you haven't watched him much.

Just admit it and move on.

Why in the fuck would Golden State do this deal?

because crawford isn't worth 1/2 what he'll make over the next 3 years?

Which brings us to the second side of the equation. Why the hell would the Blazers be interested in him?

I wouldn't cry over this trade. Turiaf is local and Roy is homies with Crawford.

He's from Martinique. Playing college ball in Spokane doesn't make him local.

Just looked up Turiaf's stats. He averages a little more than 2 blocks in only 17 minutes per game! That's impressive.

 

[Pinwheel1]

turiaf is not better than diogu. if he's perfect we should be playing ike more.

I guess we should play Ike more. (LOL)
