This is why the dude in Minnesota deserves props. They offered him a max contract but he didn't take it because he didn't think he was worth it yet andwanted the team to spend the money on others players.

Marbury and Curry would both definitely have to be included in a trade for Gilly. Mess around, Wiz might want Craw involved somehow since theydon't have a legit 2 over there. (Deshawn?Originally Posted by THE GR8
^^^Bro i would give anything.
This guy has got the game, the go hard attitude like guys back in the day, the swag, and the personality. NY would go CRAZY for this guy. I dont know how it could happen though, i know he is a restricted FA at the end of the season, and we could potentially do a sign/trade, but we would HAVE to get rid of a bunh of guys to do so. Marbury would have to go of course Gil and Marbury cant be on the same team. We should keep Crawford. I would love that backcourt. But Z Bo it think would also have to go. We would have 2 prolific scorers in the backcourt, and it wouldnt work with Z bo hogging it. Curry has to go with or without Gil.
I would LOVE Gilbert in NY. Even more than i would love Kobe in NY. But it would be toguh to do. Maybe a package of Curry/Marbury? we couldnt trade Z Bo and Marbury in the same deal because their contracts' are too high. If Gil gets signed for around 20 mil we could potentially do a package with Curry and Marbury. I would also love Artest next year as well and maybe we could package Z Bo in a deal to get Artest here. But i dsont know if Sac would want Z Bo.
It probably wont happen, and alot of things would have to go our way in trades but Gil would be perfect in NY.
The Knicks would still suck with Gil in their rotation.
Gilbert is the type of player who can rub off on others and raise the intensity level of guys who have lesser talent. He'd thrive in NYC. The press wouldlove him and his quotable mouth. The fans would love him and his desire to win. And most importantly, it would signal a new era at MSG by putting all thelosing, all the bumbling coaching signings and firings, and all the mismanagement in the rearview mirror.
You are never going to be able to go deep into the playoffs with a shoot first one guard as your best player.

he played the SG position exclusively for the majority of his time in Phila.
Although... the guy you're debating with isnt necessarily correct either. I wouldnt exact categorize Tony Parker or Chauncey Billups as pass first PG's. But at the same time they are natural point guards and not 2 guards running the point... which is what i believe Arenas is and what AI is in Denver

No.
No he doesn't.
Not at all.
And one more time... Nope.
Exactly why i mentioned that if we were to trade for Gil (which i know is just a dream cause this dude is my favorite player and has that NY game andpersonality) we would have to trade many others as well. Which is why i mentioned that many things would have to go our way. Not only would we have to puttogether an offer to interest the wizards. And if we were to make a trade it would not go by the 11 mil Gil makes right now, it would be a sign and trade inthe offseason where the Wizards would resign Gil (for around 20 mil i would guess) and send that contract to NY. We would have to trade Marbury, Curry, Z bo...alot of things would have to be done, but i would still LOVE it to happen.Originally Posted by s9a1ct6o

some athleticism
Worlds of athleticism.
If you want to play the "has the ability" game, just wait until Dwight has any kind of legitimate post moves; he scores off sheer strength andathleticism right now. Dwight will develop that and a better basketball IQ; he just turned 22 yesterday (while Okafor is already 25).
If he puts it all together it's impossible for him to average 20 and 14?
But those aren't "Dwight numbers".
Your love affair with Dwight is clouding your mind.
Not quite.

What are Dwight numbers then?
It's within the realm of possibility for Okafor to obtain the type of numbers Dwight is currently has.
