Here are some of your thoughts and answers-ĭolfanjoe is correct but I was more asking about which players have value that they would not otherwise release unless they got a solid offer for them. If you were the Miami Dolphins’ current GM which player(s) would you look at moving that have value? What would you realistically ask for as compensation? Why would you make this or these deals? Great start to the mailbag questions, thanks Katahdin! Ask me more here.With the NFL free agency period just around the corner, I asked this question earlier this week about trading our own players. Miss you Bill.įeel free to give me a hard time in the comments about who I forgot and snubbed. But his heart, mind, and skill on the court is the ultimate winning element in basketball. ![]() Garnett could do anything on the court and in today’s game he might even have taken an additional step back to become an amazing 3 point shooter too.īill Russell: I mean, what else is there to say? Again, I’d want Bill around the team even if he never touched a ball. They are the ultimate examples of the Ubuntu attitude. Kevin Garnett: When I think of superstars willing to sacrifice, I think of KG and the next guy on this list. ![]() Met him at a basketball camp when I was in high school.) (Of course I might be biased here because Dana was the first NBA player I ever met. In today’s game he’d be even more of a weapon. He was just an amazing 3 point shooter that was ahead of his time. To fit on this year’s team, you have to buy into the team concept while simultaneously being supremely confident in your own abilities.ĭana Barros: This is always my default answer to the question of “what non-star would you add to this team?” I’m going a step further and adding him to my top 3 even including stars.
