Kidd for Marbury? WHY?!?!?

[PsychoSkitz]

This is the stupidest move in the history of the game.

Why trade a great point guard for a very good point guard? You just downgraded the frikking position on the team. Idiots.

I'm done with the Nets. They blow. Is there any vacancy on the Suns bandwagon?

Hell, the only reason I started following those crummy fools was because Marbury. Now this. That's just plain stupid. It's like trading Iverson for Marbury. It just doesn't make any sense.

Damn that sucks...the nba is starting to suck now..too many high schoolers..i cant believe my boy Battier went to Vancouver! after busting his ass for FOUR YEARS at DUKE and gettting his DEGREE from DUKE, he gets rewarded by going to the grizzlies..no offense you canadiens on the board but they fuckin suck..i'm pissed..i figured MJ would have enough brains to draft him

 

[PsychoSkitz]

Actually, let me rephrase that. This is the 2nd stupidest move in league history. The first was when they traded Griffin yesterday.

I just want to know where my man Cwebb is gonna land..my boy Jason Williams for Mike Bibby was a good trade for the kings but i hate to see JW in Vancouver

Psycho,

You're absolutely nuts if you think Marbury is better than Jason Kidd. Nuts. Marbury gets by partially because of the weakness of the Eastern Conference.

Jason Kidd is the best point guard in the game by far right now. The second best is DUKE'S Jason Williams, (not Sacramento's) and he didn't come out.

The Griffin trade is a tought thing to swallow, but they just drafted Kenyon Martin last year and one of them had to go. I would have kept Griffin, but Marbury....good riddance.

 

[Kakdiesel]

yeah JW from Duke is tight..i've never seen a point guard in college yoke on fools in the lane during a game in a half court set..i mean Allen Iverson did back in G town, but fuck, thats A.I.

there seems to be a shortage of nasty point guards in the NBA..its all slashers and wing players...

Kidd, Marbury, Payton are nasty, but the rest suck..

Matt,

I cant agree with you. As a rookie in the Western Conference Marbury averaged more PPG than Kidd ever has. He keeps getting better.

The one less assist a game that Marbury averages isn't a big deal either. Marbury has the ability to lead a team the way Iverson leads a team and Kidd doesn't.

The Nets can't afford to throw away 15 PPG. Kidd is very good, I will admit that. However Steph's just a year older than Kobe and is a player who gets better every year. He's more of an asset to this franchise than a guy who will score 13 points and dish out 8 assists per game.

On paper the Nets just traded 24PPG/7APG for 15PPG/9APG. I don't see where that's beneficial, unless they think Martin will be scoring 35 a game for them next year.

i mean Allen Iverson did back in G town, but fuck, thats A.I.

I will get ridiculed for this now but not in 5 years: I would rather have Williams from Duke than Iverson on my team. What Iverson did at Georgetown was impressive, but the Big East then was no ACC. It hasn't been as good as the ACC since the mid 1980s.

Williams is a better shooter than Iverson - he is a pure shooter whereas Iverson is streaky. Iverson has plenty of games where he is not hot and shoots 11-34. A 17-31 every fourth night will occur, but Williams is now (and will be in the NBA) the mark of consistency.


Psycho,

The differential in points can be attributed largely to the weaker conference. I like Kidd because it is clear that he makes the people around him better. I guess time will tell.

 

[DoctorHERB]

JW better than AI???

What have you been shooting Deca in your brain. Call me in 5 years so you can pull your foot outta your mouth.
