They did get two good players for Deron though. Harris is a good guard (he's no Deron Williams but still good) and Derrick Favors is a good/young rookie bigman. I believe he will become one of the better bigmen in the league in a couple years. Quote Link to comment

They did get good players for him but the Jazz have been dropping since they start letting their players go. I mean a couple of years ago they had a good team and would've made it to the finals if not for the Lakers. the 97-98 Jazz teams were very good but just ran into a much better team like the Bulls. Too many players give up on teams and want to go to other teams. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Id be pissed if i were Deron. No way he wants to be a part of the Jersey/soon to be Brooklyn nets. Quote Link to comment

A team is 12 players not 3. I wish sometimes we basketball could go back to teams like the 76ers w/ Iverson to make the finals or the Bulls w/ MJ. Those were great teams, not just a Big 3.

Are those All Star numbers? I do not think so. He would not make an all star team in todays game. He is a good team player no doubt about that, in fact he is a great team player. But Scottie Pippen was not a "star" player. Allen Iverson also didn't have a star player with him, he had a bunch of great team players. The 76ers had success when Iverson played for them. They made it to the NBA Finals in 2001 and lost to the lakers (whoooooo!). Even the lakers never needed a Big 3 to win championships. They could do it with 2 and a great supporting cast. That is another reason I love the Lakers. They will beat you no matter how many stars you have. Everyone thinks the Heat will win the NBA Finals this year. But I'll bet my life they don't. Trust me the Lakers will 3-peat. Quote Link to comment

Hopefully Dallas, but they have the first round curse haunting them. I think they break that this year. Dirk is having a lights out season, possible MVP season. Quote Link to comment

I agree, I don't think they three repeat. It's not that I don't think they have it in them it's just that they have too much competition against them. Plus they really don't have a playoff experience advantage against Boston or San Antonio so I think the Lakers will have a hard time winning a 7 game series against them without the home court advantage.

I think he is saying Pippen wouldn't be an All-star in todays day and age when all the all-stars average close to 25 a game. And even with Pippen, its still only a big 2, not a Big 3. I think every good team needs one star, one really good role player and some other good supporting casts. With the Bulls it was MJ was the star, Pippen was the really good role player and Kerr, Kukoch, Longley, etc. were the good supporting cast. I don't like how every team is just getting three star players now, either. I like Dallas bc they are so good, play really good defense and their only All-star is Dirk. And now they have Peja on their team to help with the scoring. Dallas will win the NBA championship this year. Quote Link to comment

And nobody on the Lakers can guard Dirk P.S. it won't be a 7 game series. 5 or 6 at the most. Id say Dallas 4-2, but I can see Dallas 4-1. Dallas wins both at home, splits on road and wins game 5 at home. Quote Link to comment

Shutdown the other 4 guys, and Dirk can be Jesus Christ and a f*cking death ray, and it won't matter. Dirk is one guy, you don't worry about him. The Lakers could slow it down, play half court, and just pound them to death down low. Quote Link to comment
