re: Marcus Thornton-27 points v. Lakers!

its speaks to the mindset of the people who were in charge when the trade went down, same guy trying to pull of that lakers deal so we could be a mediocre team, just so monty doesn't have to coach as hard and gets to keep his job.

the fact is we could have kept him, and he didn't have to trade him, and what makes me mad is everybody should know now, it wasn't about any system bull, it was monty being sensitive and dell pacifying is friend. anybody that couldn't see what he brought to the team is now in question period, the lakers deal he was trying to swing compounds that.

dell and monty waited until the team was owned by the league and there was no one over them that understood Thornton's value to the team(chouest), it had been rumored for a while, and i believe the reason that it didnt happen was because of chouset and shin.

that landry deal was crap and everybody knows it, and you saw in that kings vs lakers game why i tell people we would have won that lakers series had they not traded MT, you needed a dog in that game who was willing to take over and take shots when chris paul put the series in the hands of his team mates.

i love gordon and yes he and Thornton would have been a beast of a back court, both can handle the ball, and Gordon has more so the ability to run offense and create for others.

but this team, is slow, Gordon is a huge piece, but he's not a pace changer, he scores points and they don't really affect the flow of his team in a positive way.

we're gonna need young athletic guys desperately, guys that are Eric Gordon's equal, and athletic superior.
