Skandery doesn't believe that Randy. He is just having fun. If we all can bait and ruffle feathers why can't Skand!

Thanks for getting the joke, 'koast.

You two debate like girls.

Guy - "Honey, why did you spend $200.00 at the shoe store when we've already discussed our budget problems?"

Girl - "Why did you stare at the girl's chest yesterday at the DMV!!!"

Guy - "What?!?"

Girl - "You heard me!".

 :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:


I'll tell ya with Randy's affection for Bynum and Reality's undying love of Fabs, these relationships are starting to be as amorous as the man-love Ted has for Nene....check that.....nothing is THAT creepy. B)
I'll remember than Skander -- when you come making some lame trade request like Bynum for Pierce -- I'll remember these words and it will cost you Pierce AND Arenas in order to get Bynum!  

We'll see who has the last laugh!!!

W.O.W...

Brendan Haywood = Bust

Tell me he is not a bust and nothing more then a below average big man.

So when you say he is Brendan Haywood in a Laker uniform you are pretty much saying he is a below average big man unless when he is bigger then the person guarding him....

Don't act as if we are completely making things up.  You compared him to a guy who is a bust.  Now if you didn't say 'Bynum = Brendan Haywood in a Laker uniform' then yes, we would be making things up.
Haywood is not a bust!  He's a 2nd/3rd tier center.  Montross is a BUST. O'Bannon was a bust.  Ellison was a bust.

Do you know the difference between a bust and a journeyman?

So using quotation marks around certain words is what you're changing your argument too now?
"History shouldn't be a mystery"
"Our story is real history"
"Not his story"

Haywood is not a bust!  He's a 2nd/3rd tier center.  Montross is a BUST. O'Bannon was a bust.  Ellison was a bust.

Do you know the difference between a bust and a journeyman?
When is the last time you followed Haywood?  The Wizards had big plans for him and he fell WAYYY short.  When you take a chance on a player to pick him up, expect him to be a major contributor, and he doesnt...that is a bust.

3rd tier is not a bust now?  Chris Mihm is a 3rd tier center and I would consider him a bust.

Can you tell me where the following players are presently playing or what they accomplished in their NBA career:

Marcus Fizer - selected #4 by the Bulls even though they already had a Power Forward.  After being a bust in Chicago.  He had stints in Milwaukee, Cleveland, and New Orleans.  

Jonathan Bender - selected #5 by the Pacers out of High School.  Touted as the first 7 foot Shooting Guard!  Injuries plagued his career which led to his retirement this past summer.  

Trajan Langdon - Sharp Shooter out of Duke.  Selected #11 by Cleveland.  Lasted 3 seasons before he fell out of the NBA because of his inability to do anything but spot up shoot.  Has found a nice career in Russia playing for CSKA Moscow and almost defeating the Sixers this past month.

Michael Olowokandi - Selected #1 by Clippers out of Pacific.  Was very mediocre in LA before being below mediocre in Minnesota.  Was a throw-in for the Davis-Szserbiak trade and has found a way to barely make the cut for the Boston roster this last pre-season.  

Robert Traylor - Will forever be known as the man who was traded on draft night for Dirk Nowitzki.  Selected #6 byDallas and traded to Milwaukee.  After stints in Milwaukee, Cleveland, Charlotte-New Orleans, and back in Cleveland, became too FAT to play!

Keon Clark - Selected #13 by Orlando but traded to Denver.  Journeyman with Denver, Toronto, and Sacramento.  Struck a FA contract with Utah and played 2 games due to ankle problems that forced retirement.

Jerome Moiso - Selected #11 by Boston.  Never did much in Boston, Charlotte-NO, Toronto, New Jersey, and Cleveland.  Didn't he just get arrested for something?

Lorenzen Wright - Selected #7 by Clippers.  Has had a long career as a mediocre big man in LA, Atlanta, Memphis, and now back in Atlanta.  He's recently been suspended....

Samaki Walker - Selected #9 by Dallas.  Still playing in the NBA at the end of the Indiana bench.  Stunk in Dallas, then San An, got a championship in LAL, and then stints in Miami and Wash.

Todd Fuller - Selected #11 by Golden State.  Pretty much stunk in GS, Utah, Charlotte, and Miami.  

Shawn Respert - Sharp shooter from Michigan State.  Selected #8 by Milwaukee.  Career was taked off the tracks by a severe heart condition.  Traded from Milwaukee to Toronto to Dallas.  Tried a comeback with Pho in 99 before condition forced early retirement.

Ed O'Bannon - UCLA product, Selected #9 by New Jersey.  Lasted 2 seasons with NJ and Dallas, HUGE BUST.

Gary Trent - Selected #11 by Milwaukee.  Had a productive 10 year career in Portland, Dallas (especially), and Minnesota before retiring in 2004.

Sharone Wright - Selected #6 by Philly.  Lasted 3 seasons and change in Philly and Toronto before chronic back forced early retirement.  

Eric Montross - Selected #9 by Boston.  Lasted 7 years despite being really BAD.  Journeyed from Boston to Dallas, NJ, Phi, Det, and Toronto.  

Carlos Rogers - Selected #10 by my beloved Seattle at the time then traded to GS on draft night.  Played in GS, Toronto, Portland, Houston, and finally Indiana.  Most productive in Toronto.  

Todd Day- Selected #8 by Milwaukee.  Talented (if not efficient) scorer his first 5 years in the league and then fell off sharply.  Played in Mil, Bos, Mia, Pho, and Min.

Doug Smith - Selected #9 by Dallas. Our beloved Missouri product...NOT!  Lasted 5 mediocre seasons.  4 with Dallas, 1 with Boston.  After second year, it was all down hill year after miserable year.

Mark Macon - Selected #8 by Denver.  Extremely injury-prone...made Marcus Camby look like an Iron Man.  Lasted 5 injury filled seasons.  Tried a comeback in 99 after 3 year hiatus, lasted 7 games.  Played with Den and Det.

Bo Kimble - Selected #8 by Clippers.  Lasted 3 miserable seasons.  Then again was he expected to do ANYTHING out of Loyola-Marymount??

Pervis Ellison - 1st round, 1st pick by Sacramento (JoMaL what did you think at the time?)  Was injured for Sacramento his lone first year there.  Went to Washington the next year and won MIP his third year with 20 points and 11 rebounds.  Down to 17 and 9 the next year and then off the cliff.  Also played in Boston and his last year in Seattle.  

Stacey King - Selected #6 by Chicago.  Won 3 championships in his first 4 years, of course he didn't have anything to do with any of them.  Traded to Minny for Longley where he did nothing.  Had stints in Mia, Bos, and Dal before retiring.

George McCloud - Selected #7 by Indiana.  Hung around the league for 12 years as a 3 point specialist.  Played in Indy, Dal, LAL, Pho, and Denver.

Randy White - Selected #8 by Dallas.  Lasted 5 miserable seasons in Dallas.  This guy I never heard of!

Dennis Hopson - Selected #3 by New Jersey.  Showed flair for scoring in New Jersey then was dealt to Chicago where he stunk, traded mid-season his last year to Sacramento and then retired.  Lasted 5 seasons.  

Kenny Walker - Selected #5 by New York.  Lasted 5 seasons with NY and his last 2 with Washington.  Started off mediocre and only got worst each year thereafter.  I do here that he thrilled in the slam dunk competition, though....
