We have two conversations going on. One refers to the Celtics. The other refers to the Sonics. My most recent comment (prior to this one) replied to Benne's comment re: the Sonics.

So was my comment. I didn't read what Benne said carefully enough.

You may be right. I'll be sad when the Sonics leave town, but I'll enjoy this year while it lasts. Like I said earlier in this thread, Durant's ass will look great in emerald green...

Instead, the Sonics are trading wins today for wins tomorrow -- which tells me they're definitely ready to leave town.

I'm...rooting for Durant to be a huge bust. Nothing personal, it's the Simmons thing. I hope you understand.

Stuckey: "Uh, that's me."

Meh. Perhaps the Wizards will start an entire lineup of shooting guard/small forward types next year.

You don't have to move Randolph -- Aldridge is a perfect sixth man, learning the ropes while he spells Z-Bo and Oden. I have no problem with Channing Frye; I'm sure he's a likeable young man with a good heart and excellent breath. But Steve Francis? What's his contract look like? I don't even know, is this a one-year salary dump, or do we have to pay this guy for multiple years?
The primary objective in moving Z-Bo was to move his contract (secondary was to make room for Aldridge on the front line). This is a great trade for New York.
Oden &
Aldridge &
Frye &
Roy &
Jack.
OK, I'm still happy.

Maybe it'll be Malik Rose instead. You can always dream.

I thought the primary objective was to keep Randolph the fuck away from Oden.

Lakers on the clock. Prepare for endless Kobe speculation.

But Steve Francis? I'm upset about that -- I really am.

A valid point. Advantage Tollin.

Hey, did you hear? The '03 draft is still better. Stephen speaks only the truth...

O.A.R., what a shitty band!

O.K., Stevie is [url=http://blog.oregonlive.com/blazers/2007/06/sounds_like_zach_randolph_is_g.html]apparently a buy-out[/url], so it's Frye for Z-Bo and change. I'm not thrilled, at all, really, but at least this does help the cap and potential future re-signability of O.A.R.O.A.R., what a shitty band!

OAR = the 21st century's answer to the Dave Matthews Band?

I grew up in Virginia in the mid-90's - I don't need to tell you how popular Dave Matthews Band was at my high school. I personally saw them twice.
