Given a question that has the word "win" in it, an answer like that sounds about right coming from a Knicks fan.

Pretty sure Knicks are fighting Bucks for the coveted 8th spot

 

[bossplaya0625]

Jennings/Ellis backcourt should be interesting



Seriously getting tired of Dwight

 

[essential1]

Roll the dice... This ain't Yahtzee...

Roll the dice = keep me for the rest of the season, but I'm walking

I don't want to be traded. But if you don't trade me, you are rolling the dice.

If I'm Otis Smith I hear that and !#!+ myself... Then I trade him, and Hedo out on the next train tomorrow to Jersey

Everybody is missing the point. Nobody even knows the initial question.
Dude said Monta Ellis is mad about being on the Bucks, not that he's in Milwaukee. My point is, the Bucks are in the playoffs, and the Warriors aren't, so why would he be mad that hes on a playoff team instead. 

 

[hongcouver604]

dwight howard's acting like a lil spoiled brat. what a $#@*%$$ +@#*%. hope he never wins a championship, just shut up and go to work.

Hollinger's Analysis: -3 Wins

With this trade you have decreased this team's projected wins by 3.

Projected Record Note:
Projected records are based on the PER of the players in each team’s post-trade rotation. Taking into account the players traded and the ability of their replacements, it is possible for each team in a trade to have a better projected record, or for each team to have a worse one, or for one team to be better and another to be worse by a different number of games.

[mr jordan04]

I think Dwight is saying that now so if he does get traded, he'll always say "I told them I wanted to stay in Orlando."
I think it's pretty evident he's going to walk at the end of the year, unless the Magic make some type of deal for somebody to join them, but I don't see that happening because of the horrendous contracts they have.

I can only assume most people "feel bad" for Monta because he's going to the Bucks, not Milwaukee.

So no one can tell me how people feel bad for Monta because hes going to a playoff team makes sense? Whatever.

 

[jpzx]

In my opinion...

1. Because they're not a playoff team yet. No matter how bad the Knicks are performing, they could get on an unforeseen roll and jetsteam past the Bucks who they have more talent than.

2. It might partially be about Milwaukee, because he might like the Bay Area and not feel comfortable in the Midwest (he's from the South, played his entire career on the West Coast).

3. He might not like how he fits in on the Bucks. Both he and Jennings are going to start and both are score-first guards, and there's only one ball.

Because you were crying about how mean "EVERYONE" was being about your city and that we were what's wrong with the NBA. My point is A. they're not in the playoffs since it's March and B. who cares about the city, the team will be lucky to win a couple games in the playoffs. Sure they're "in the playoffs" compared to the Warriors.. but 8th seed in the East is NOTHING to be happy about.
Stop complaining.

People killing Dwight for this...

Wanting to ride out the season in Orlando is EXACTLY what he should want to do... He should've played this thing a little closer to the vest and never given Orlando and list of teams he'd be interested in, though... There was no reason for him to not play this thing exactly like LeBron did in Cleveland.

See this is a better answer than, "they're in the East though" or "they wont beat the Heat anyway". 
All I was trying to say is even though they are in the East, and that they probably wont beat the Heat. The Warriors arent even in a position to have an opportunity at beating someone like the Thunder or Spurs.

Point taken, though. 

Because you were crying about how mean "EVERYONE" was being about your city and that we were what's wrong with the NBA. My point is A. they're not in the playoffs since it's March and B. who cares about the city, the team will be lucky to win a couple games in the playoffs.

 I could care less what you think about Milwaukee. Everyone else was doing the complaining that he's coming here, not me, im happy.
Wasnt syaing the 8th seed is something to be happy about. I was saying its better than not being in the playoffs at all.

 

[essential1]

Magic have 6 terrible contracts

Hedo, Jameer, Big Baby, JRich and to a lesser extent Chris Duhon and QRich


This could be their shot to get rid of 3 of them in 1 trade..

Ship Hedo, Duhon and QRich along with Dwight to NJ.. And you get $20+ mil of expiring contracts in return and likely 2 1st Round Picks.

Then figure out a way to get rid of either Big Baby or JRich.. And hold on to Jameer and try to move him next season as an expiring contract..

And you are stuck with 1 terrible contract..

But this is all moot because knowing Otis he will offer Ryan Anderson 5year/ $70mil,  and the cycle of bad contracts will just keep going round and round for that team
