the knicks have been rebuilding since 2000/01 .. but keep getting it wrong .. now they look to be on track .. mebbe next year when the much publicized FA class of 2010 comes out theyll finish the job

 

actually 2010 is shaping up to be a real intriguing FA off season .. will teams spend or will they buy cheap?

so, when does rebuilding start and end?

kapono to average 20ppg? what are you smoking, i want to have some of that..

mr moderator, i explicitly said that it was HYPOTHETICAL.

but i will not argue with you on what hypothetical means.

you are a moderator.

ehhhh how can u rebuild without money or valuable players/assets? not every team is the Knicks who'll take the financial hit ... or Lakers ....

so, you are saying that the knicks are rebuilding now that they retained lee and nate despite having the big money?

imagine a restaurant a cafe .. it gets old u need to establish a new look, menu concept even ... so u make the move .. like say from cafe to fine dining .. it works for a while but after a while u start getting less people eating .. so u change it to a bar ... all of those moves will cost you money .. how can u renovate/change if u dont have any capital? <--- my best real life analogy

but there are restos or cafe that can continue success even if it is old.

some even renovate and come up with new looks and concepts and still remain floating.

teams will always change players no matter what happens. restos change concepts and menus only on a case to case basis

in other words, players definitely change in a team (with or without the owner's will), but menu and concepts change depending on the owners' will.

so why compare restos to nba teams? apples and oranges, my dear friend.

rebuilding started with the sixers selling of iverson to free cap room ... and supposedly finished with the Elton Brand signing ...

 

like say Orlando ... when they let go Shaq .. that pretty much started their rebuilding .. they then went on to get young players to fill their core .. and ended with the signing of Tmac and Grant Hill .. they saw some forms of success by having a couple of p'off stints... then repeated that cycle .. eventually landing Dwight Howard ....

so, you said it, it is a cycle... a cycle of winning and sucking (or, as other call it, rebuilding). like the 76ers, they had good years with barkley, then they lost him, they "sucked" or started "rebuilding", then they later got AI, where they had good years until AI wanted out, so they started losing it again, and they had brand, whom they taught will be the next big this, only to benched most of last year..... now they are working on kappono and hoping that jrue can do good (not to mention luo williams who made andre miller dispensable).... whether it is sucking or rebuilding, it does not matter. a team plays 82 games per regular season, and if their record falls within the top 8, they get to the playoffs.

===

why keep insisting that i call it rebuilding ... you got the wrong guy with this rebuilding crap .. the sixers cant rebuild bec they have no money ... they can only suck ... and hopefully suck so bad to get quality draft picks

so rebuilding now comes with money?

my, the definition is really complicated.

anyway, you are right, you are not the right guy to discuss this rebuilding crap.... but at least you showed me that you have a definition different from others with respect to rebuilding.

thanks for you time.

then i would say they got lucky with a cheap FA signing .... pls dont push a theory where it dont belong ..

that is why i need to learn more from you about this thing called rebuilding... and how it differs from sucking.

in my book, sucking is the same as rebuilding... it is just semantics at work.... its like instead of calling a kid a "retard", we to call him a "special child".

coz, like you, i intend to amend my book should i learn something new.

im the first to say that they suck .. they might make the p'offs bec of a still weak East .. but thats that .. for them to get a lottery theyll have to tank big time ... and i dont think theyll do that

so, are you saying that it is a person's own call if it is rebuilding and/or sucking?

===

i think it is unfair to call the 76ers move as sucking, when you can call it rebuilding.

when they traded away iverson .. they started rebuilding ... and they thought they were finished when they signed Elton Brand .... which turned out to be a big epic failiure ....

 

i wouldnt call Carney, Kappono and Jrue as rebuilding pieces .... rebuilding tends to deal with pieces that affect the team in a very big manner .. like the iverson sell off and the Brand sigining.. by getting rid of iverson and signing brand the team changed the focus and philosophy of the team ... Carney and Kappono were complimentary pieces .. Jrue is a project ...

then that makes rebuilding a very subjective thing. subject to each person's interpretation and understanding of the term. right?

just wondering, what if, hypothetically (and a possibility), kappono would later be a big part of the team, say, he would be scoring 20 plus points per game (leading the sixers reach the playoffs again). then you would later say that the were rebuilding pala.

but they signed FA rodney carney, traded for jason kapono and drafter jrue holiday.

that must part of their REBUILDING.

go to the sixers thread ... if you can find it .... its a thread that needs life coz the sixers suck balls

hey, they dont suck... they are just REBUILDING!!!!!

seriously, kay bossing edward din ako.

boto ko, si meynard pa rin..... wag kana pakasal, pre..... hahahahahaha.

sa akin walang problema lagi naman akong online

 

ang inaalala ko yung iba baka biglang may mag sign up ng isang team mawalan sila ng slot.

 

Pwede ding may mag sign up ng isang team tapos hindi naman dumating or mag cancel at the last minute

 

So minimize natin sa 2 newbie per sign up? What do you think?

tanong lang, andito ba sa list na ito yung team lawson or iba pa sila?

si jerzz....

ice breaker muna...

siguro, tutal me pondo naman tayo, tulungan natin yung mga biktima na ondoy.

pwede nyong ibigay sa amin ni jerzz yung pondo... idedeliver namin sa kanila...

eto yung mga biktima... binaha talaga sila sa may cainta area..... kawawa talaga sila.

kasi naman maliit nga ko pero di ako point guard maglaro...bwakaw guard ako eh hehehehe. :boo:

 

pwede pa si heavenbanned maging lady eagle...di ba alvin? :upside:

kasama ni butchi.....

==

naisip ko lang... hindi kaya mawalan ako ng playing time nyan lalo na ang gagaling ng mga teamates ko? huhuhuhu....

gawa na ng guidelines for trading...

tama.. dapat may trade deadline din... tapos trade exceptions.... tapos kapag free agent, pwede sign and trade.....

+1 kay allan... nice idea

mas magiging equal pa playing time pag may teams na

ok ang panukala (naks) ni taken.

kaso, baka mangyayari nito, magiging by team na tayo.

hindi kaya maging competitive na ang WNC?

masaya din kasi yung papalit-palit ng teamates...

it builds camaraderie sa ating lahat.

hindi tayo by teams nakikilala.

observation ko lang po yun.

Hindi na #1 ang playing number ni T-Mac?

its now #3, something about darfur... and some promotional stunt na rin.

pare, hope you and your family are all safe sa pepeng

australian center, 6'11" or 7". i think he has championships on other leagues. good shooter. but don't expect him to bang bodies with DH or Shaq and live. :D

 

well... we'll take what we can get as a center. not too much option for it with the rockets' current situation. nandyan naman si Joey Dorsey, Chuck Hayes, Pops Mensah-Bonsu kaya maraming balang pang-foul. :D

 

 

same here. this kid has potential!

houston looks promising with these kids.

i just hope t-mac wont ruin it.

Hula ko lang...kabastusan nanaman meaning nito noh?

pag si alvin, laging bastos ang dating. hehehehe

nasa baguio pa ba si manny? paano training nya kung andun pa sya?

pass ako next week...have to be in Cebu...work...bad trip.

dun ako pre, mon-tues.

kaso kasama si misis. kaya good boy ako. hehehehe
