Go after Barbosa?

According to Chad Ford he is available, and they are looking for an expiring and a young player with a smaller contract. Why dont we offer Bobby Jackson and Donte Greene for him? Granted neither is a great passer, but that back court would be young, quality, and the quickest in the league.

really? from what we've seen Donte is an athletic shooter that can't shoot.

hahah, from what you've seen .. which is nothing .. because this coach wont play him ...

talk about giving up on someone early.

Barbosa is an undersized SG, and Unlike Ellis ( who is the same thing, and someone I want us to get ) I dont think its worth it .. Ellis has star potential and barbosa doesnt..
1 APG it just aweful for someone you want to play point for you... he wont be taking Martins minutes at the 2G

Not to mention believe he is 31 or 32...no way would i give up greene for him. Our damn coach needs to play him before he wants to leave us and become the next kobe Bryant. My NBA 2k9 franchise has him developing into a 80 rated player who puts up 18 ppg as a starter....are we willing to take that kind of risk and dump him!

I think your getting him confused with Raja Bell, who is in his 30's ... ( I used to get there ages confused all the time for some reason )

Barbosa is 26. But I still dont do it.

what? are his birth records fudged? he's 26 years old from what I can tell.. and to massachusetts, its not giving up on Greene early really its just realizing that Greene is a long shot and Barbosa is proven and young. and he plays 22 mpg I might add.. a few years ago he averaged 4 apg, and his TO's are low..

I like Barbosa. I've seen Greene play like once maybe, but I am surprised some would hold on to him over Barbosa.

That means absolute zero. In 4 yaers of association, I was able to get Martin, Hawes, and Thompson at 95+. I also had Hawes featured as the premier defensive center (yes, over Dwight).

Oh, in 2k9, I was also able to sign Lebron James to Sacramento. Is this indicative of real life? John Stossel: Gimme a Break.
