I am all for trading Bonzi. They guy has been out since Dec 19th-came back on my b-day jan 31st and then went out again Feb 3rd. Which means to me he has played 2 games out of the past 64 days. His groin is healed, I think Petrie is telling him he will be traded b4 the deadline, and that is why he hasn't comeback since Utah. It has been 3 weeks since that groin got reaggravated.
Reasons to trade Bonzi------
1. Don't need him to stunt the growth of the yougs guys martin and garcia
2. Risk the chance of getting nothing for him(a la cuttino mobley)
3. Realize the guy is 30, and in a contract year playing for the last good contract of his career.
4. The guys best season was 17.5pts a game 4 seasons ago, and that Kevin has the potential at 23 to be a 20+ pt/gm scorer for many seasons to come.
5. Him and Artest are 2 alike-and we don't need a 2-3 low post combo-maybe a 3-4 but not a 2-3.
6. Keeping him means we are playing for this season, and this season only, versus trading him means we get quality players that can help us out in many ways as Bonzi hasn't done crap for us in over 2 months.
7. Getting Earl Watson allows us to get a starting quality PG who plays hella good D, for 1/2 the price of bibby. In Bibbys last season he will make 14.5mil---tell me right now without being biased that Bibbys play is worth $8 mil more than watson. I would say not.
8. Which leads me to my next point, trade the weakest link on D, and the guy who has shot the 2 lowest percentages of his career after Webber has left, for a young and hella good C or PF.
