for a while alot of us wanted Critttenton...and possibly a PF from memphis...knowing that josh smith signed an offer sheet with the grizzlies that makes some of their forwards expendable...is the trade idea still on with memphis??

I think talks for Crittenton are pretty dead right now. Something could change and talks could be back on at any moment but right now it looks like nothing is going on.

For a 3rd PG Otis is waiting for the right deal...

So just hold your guns and it will happen in due time.

Ok, JD, What you waiting for? The 3 string PGs position is your. Tell Otis than Isiah Thomas( Rodriguez) send you.

This might sound crazy, but I the more time goes by, I think I would rather sign Livingston at the Min than trade for Critt. They are both the same size, Livingston might be an inch bigger, but the big difference is that Livingston is a true pass first pg.

What the Memphis fans that came on our board said about Critt playing pg concerns me. He might not be able to adjust playing it full time.

Obviously, Livingston has serious health issues, but if he is willing to sign for the min for 2 years with the second maybe being partially guaranteed it is low risk high reward opportunity. On hoopsworld it is saying that he is working out, playing 5 on 5, and dunking, so he might not be that far away.

if we cant get the crit deal done then yeah we need to bring in someone. it would come pretty cheap also. I think.

Just my opinion here, but I don't think there is any incentive for either team to hurry this deal along. I would imagine that the 14th roster spot will be filled closer to the start of the season.

Memphis is involved in some interesting trade talks that could ship Darko, Jaric, & Buckner out of town...If that happens, they would either be less likely to trade Crit, potentially more interested in JJ, and maybe both.

“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” Hermann Goering

For the right purpose, for peace, I am with you there!

One of the things that'd be worse than this deal not happening for us is watching it happen for Miami.

quote:

The Heat, which inquired about free agent center Jake Voskuhl, has talked internally about pursuing one of Memphis' point guards (such as Kyle Lowry) but does not want Jamaal Tinsley's Indiana contract (three years left, $21 million) and knows the Knicks reportedly will bring Stephon Marbury to camp and not cut him. . . The Heat asked about Ron Artest before he was dealt to Houston, a Kings official said, but the Kings did not want Dorell Wright in a sign-and-trade and other unappealing pieces.

Otis inquired about Crittenton, Memphis asked for too much, so he passed. That's not sitting on his ***.

for memphis' sake, i hope they dont bite on the randolph deal.

i think the critt to orlando deal was pushing up daisies a while back. it would seem memphis needs to trade its assets(pg's) for its weaknesses(front court depth). we have 0 front court depth, so we werent a serious contender for a trade. however, if otis was willing to give up battie as part of a larger package including maybe jj or bogans, we could possibly get critt and darko back...it works under the CBA...
