The TWolves would security with those longterm contracts, if the players play well, otherwise, yes, it is a hassle for a few years.

Banks is so young! Billups took quite a few years to get to where he is and so don't judge Banks as being average just yet. Defense and playmaking skills are very important for a PG!

steven asshole smith was talking about a minny - knicks trade.

eddy curry, channing frye, and steve francis for kevin garnett. if mchale considers that, might as well reduce that offer. but we're all dreaming anyway....

Wow. McHale trading with Isiah. I expect the dumbest trade in history. Not sure for what side... but this could be worse than the Vince Carter trade. They could even trade Banks for Frye, Curry and Francis and I wouldn't be surprised.

Migya, I only judge on performance and talent. Thats why I gave them a comparison. However, MB, based off what I've seen, can't match CB's rise to fame. Most of that depends on team chemistry and overall b-ball IQ though, thats why I gave him the " poor mans " label----***030***---

Billups got bumped around a few teams, don't forget and he only found a home in the Pistons. Banks has the makings of a star PG I reckon and Mullin could do much worse than him

Well, I don't know what 'bumped around' means, but he played over 30 minutes on the Raptors AND Nuggets (not to mention 29 for the Timberwolves and 25 for the Celtics). He had plenty of opportunities to succeed... but it wasn't until he could suck off the teat of Larry Brown's defensive system married with Flip Saunders handing him the reigns in Detroit when he finally became something special. If the system doesn't revolve around Chauncey, he doesn't have the talent to transcend that (like other natural born stars in the league).

I guarentee he's a modern version of what Glen Rice was on the Hornets. Sure, when he's in the town that worships him, he puts up all-star numbers... but if I were a GM, I wouldn't be piling on the talent in a trade for him. More likely than not, Chauncey would turn into a slightly above-average role player in another city.

Banks would be really nice... and more realistically achievable than Garnett. Problem is, we're already stacked at point guard. I hope Monta Ellis moves to shooting guard permanently, because I'd like to keep Will Bynum next year. But, even then, he'd need to wait his turn behind Fisher and Davis.

Aquiring Banks would only make sense if we dished away Fisher in another trade and added Bynum to the Banks trade. Still, it's a long shot.

Like I've stated some four times before - Baron, Murphy, dun, Fisher or Taft and this draft's 1st round pick for Garnett and Banks

I think so because Baron, Murphy and dun have rather big contracts that together even surpase KG's. Fisher's contract would be a benefit if the salary's were not quite right and Taft would probably be more desired by McHale (maybe not) rather than Fisher and he could be in the trade if Fisher's contract was not needed to be included to match the salaries.

I thought Marcus Banks was a free agent next offseason. Weird. Well, that pretty much solidifies his status as never being a Warrior.

I hope the guy gets a 3-year deal for 12 million. After 3 years (if he's still playing like he did for the Wolves), he can level up on his money. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD
