big al

[steve knight]

ryan, i understand where you're coming from regarding
al's competition for an all-star spot, but i think
you're going to be proven very wrong. consider the
progress al has made just this year and project what
he could be in 4 or 5 years. what he'll be is a
perennial pro, a 25/12 guy. a mchale on the offensive
side, and a beast on the boards. he's only what, 20 or
21? the best is yet to come. the dude is just
scratching the surface this year. if we get rid of him
for anything less than duncan, shame on us.

Just to be clear, part of my reasoning for Al never
being an all-star 
is the competition for those spots which includes
Oden, Durant, etc..  I 
have detailed the players Al has to beat out for the
slot likely 
vacated by caron butler next year and those up for it
include paul pierce, 
andre igoudala, potentially kevin durant, michael
redd, blah blah blah.

I have never said al is not going to be a good player,
but he is no 
all-star.
