Imagine Plaisted against Garnett, Duncan, or Boozer.

Those of you that follow the NBA closely, is there any 4 that gets playing time in the NBA that plaisted would be better than?

Trents problem is that right now he relies on athleticism to much, there are a lot of guys in the NBA that do the same thing, the difference is they put Trent to shame in that department. The Stromile Swifts and Chris Wilcoxs of the world are way more athletic than Trent. Even a guy like Amare Stoudemire who is an athletic freak has had to add a jump shot to his repertoire.

I'm trying to think of a single 4 in the NBA who is an avg. defender and rebounder, who can't score facing the basket.

Trying to think of one.

5. buy a plane ticket
6. make arrangements for shelter in europe
7. fly over

that's as far as I know

Dipshit Texans. Who packs their bags before identifying shelter? Shelter could have an enormous impact on wardrobe neccesities. The whole wide world ain't 70 degrees in winter you ethnocentric sychophant.

Thank God for Trent he recongized from what geographic region God's people reign and rule. His all knowing wife will take care of any Texassized inherited shortcomings...although perhaps Lacy and Farrah could commiserate on that original Texassized shortcoming, no doubt.

Reminds me of the time I had to change my own oil in the U of U masturbatoreum. The gal at the desk told me that there was "reading literature" in the 3rd floor of the chest of drawers, "reading" ya right. Upon looking I recongized it was porn and if I looked at it I thought I might one day kill my wife and go on a murderous rampage. So I went back to the desk and told her porn was against my religion but if she had an old VHS of the MTV video by Lita Ford "Ain't No Big Thing," it would help me do the trick. She chuckled and said "it probably isn't." I didn't get it.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

I'm not saying he'll be a start in the NBA, or that he'll even get so much as a minute of pt.

I'm simply saying that, for the most part, I trust the majority of the anti-Plaisted-ite's judgement on his NBA-worthiness about as much as I trust the average terrorist.

I certainly am not an expert analyst when it comes to hoops. I just call it as I see it and only as I see it. My criticism of him is that he gets pushed off the blocks by players who have no business pushing him off the blocks and that he is much too dependent on going to his left. He needs to be much more ambidextrous if he wants to get better - and not in the Goatnapper sense of ambidexterity.

Joe Darger pushed Trent off the block with ease. Case closed.

I doubt they would have much to commiserate about. I bet Trent wears size 18+ sneakers.

I'll bet he is a friggin animal who farts lightning and would wipe a grizzly bear's ass with steel wool. Probably has "Don't Mess with Texas!" tatooed on the ol' admiral as well.

Joe Darger pushed him off the blocks, he ain't hung like Dirk Diggler by no means.

Familiar with Dirk Diggler's Dimensions are you? When did you finally quit insisting that everyone call you Roller Girl?

What is the over under for how long it will take before he is playing in Greece?
