I dont see why boston would do that
plus lowry is hurt right, they cant trade injured players?
but anyways, allen is a good complement to pierce and KG, tmac needs the ball in his hands when PP got those duties
and from tmacs track record, he might not even be healthy, boston might be just trading allen for a player who will eventually get injured
celtics best bet would be play out ray allen for the rest of the season, then sign him for cheap in the offseason because he wants to stay in boston

You talking about Erick Dampier?
FYI, Okafor has played all 82 games from each of the past two seasons.

What does Dampier have anything to do with anything? Other than the fact Okafor is basically Dampier playing more minutes...Originally Posted by nicedudewithnicedreams

I'm fully aware of what Emeka has played... Doesn't make him any better than average and doesn't change the fact his production doesn't match his contract... He's got a history of back and ankle issues...

I figured Boston might do it since they really need a backup PG. House is a catch and shoot player not really a ball handler. They need a solid back up pg and Lowry fits that bill. I don't think he's going to be out for long. Maybe 1 to 2 weeks at most. I just felt it would be a good gamble for Boston since they look really shaky right now.
Why would Houston ever do that? At this point in his career Ray Allen isn't even close to the player he used to be.
Lowry means a lot to our team, he provides energy,defense, and he pushes to ball.
The Rockets would absolutely stupid to ever contemplate this trade. The Rockets are looking to get some young talent, not someone who's aging.

I didn't know a career average of 14 and 11 is average. The only season he missed a lot of games was his second season. Like I said, he played all 82 games in each of the past two seasons. Should we continue to call him injury prone because of one season? Or should we say he is relatively healthy for a center because he played 164 of the possible 164 games in the past two seasons?
I am not bigging up Okafor like he is a great center. He is a legit center that has consistently averaged at least 10 and 10 in his career. I would welcome him to the Kings if they traded away K9 and Noc for him.

Who's mad? Dampier's contract is one of the biggest trade assets in the league, and it never prevented the Mavericks from doing something they wanted to do to make the team better...

I don't really want to waste my time defending Okafor like he is the savior that the Kings need. He might be overpaid, but most centers are in the NBA. Just like Dampier.
It is all subjective when determining which player is legit or average. You can clown Okafor all you want, just don't be mad when Mark Cuban decides he needs a center to replace Dampier next season...
I said I would welcome Okafor on the Kings. I ain't dreaming like its going to happen.
No way, no how. Are you talking about the Mavs winning a championship with Dirk?

how about iguodala to the celtics for ray allen? gives the sixers just what they need in a 3 point shooter and someone who's contract won't stay on the books for long.
have a starting lineup of - iverson
ray allen
thad
brand
dalembert
i think that team could do some work with jrue, lou, speights and carney comin off the bench

"I don't think I am considered one of best forwards in the league, and I want to be considered the best," - Chris Bosh

That doesn't sound like a guy who wants to be Lebron James pick setter.
But hey what do I know I' m a delusional Raptor fan because all imaginary evidence suggests Bosh is a lock to leave.

Who said that?
It suggest that Chris Bosh seems to have very little interest in being anything other than the number one guy on a team, making the idea of him playing with Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, or Kobe Bryant that I keep hering so many american writers spout off about increasingly unrealistic.
Hey but that's just my interpretation of it.

"This is the position you want to be in," said Bosh. "I always tellpeople when we were kids shooting in the back yard or in the park orsomething like that, you (dream about being) `the man' taking the lastshot. You (don't dream about being) in the corner, giving a high fiveafter `the man' hits it. You think about being the best player on thecourt. And I've been really blessed to be a focal point, and I thinkthat's really cool. It's crazy that it actually happened because Idreamt about it so much. But I'm living the dream." -Chris Bosh
Nor do I think he wants to be hugging, Kobe/LeBron/Wade after they make the last shot.

But again I must preface this with full disclosure of the delusion condition that has afflicted me and my compatriots, a function of being a Raptor fan.
It's obviously impossible to ignore the mounting amount of imaginary evidence that Bosh will leave...

You keep saying imaginary evidence as if anything you've posted suggests otherwise... He can leave and not sign with the same team as LeBron, Wade, or Kobe...
Those quotes also seem to indicate he wants more recognition... Guess what, that ain't happening in Toronto...

1. Precisely, now what would be the incentive to do that?
2. Yeah right, cause Vince carter didn't get recognition in Toronto? You get recognition when you win. Please child.
Chris Bosh, Top 10 in all star fan voting he will get more when he wins and I don't think a team that doesn't have a second superstar really offers a greater shot to win than the Raps.
My point is this: I don't know what Chris Bosh is going to do, but the idea that anyone can claim that somehow that Raptors have no shot retaining Chris Bosh are lying, or are simply displaying incredible amounts of uniquely American hubris. There is no reason to think that our chances are as good if not better.
I'm just saying we got a pretty good shot, being able to offer him more money, a larger market for endorsement than all but 3 teams in the NBA, and considering the Raptors are broadcast nation wide in Canada and have one of the strongest international fan bases it may be even larger than any team not named the Knicks, and his best friend Jarret Jack and his really good friend Jose, both on the team and his allegedly increasing comfort in Toronto....ah what am I saying it's too cold, hes a LOCK to leave!
"Usually, when I was younger, I'd come here and I couldn't wait to goback home (to Texas). I'd go home and sit there and do nothing. Now?It's like, we're going to T.O.! When you going back to Dallas? Pfft, Idon't know - whenever. I just feel comfortable here."-Chris Bosh
I am 100% delusional pay no attention to me. He was probabaly lying when he said this quote, lord knows we have every reason to believe he is a liar.

You shouldn't, Derrick Rose is a horrendous defender.
