How are people feeling about him? Better or worse than they were this time last year?

If I were starting a franchise he'd be in the top ten.

Gotta wonder what Minnesota is looking to get in return for their first, which they're apparently actively shopping. The wiretap report said they're looking for an established player...would some combo or Moute or Dunleavy and maybe our 2nd for their first+Roy work out? Do they look to take Monta in some deal where we receive their first? IT seems like the two of us and some third party would be real logical trade partners. Williams Roy and their first all seem like they can be had for the right price..I'd do everything we can to see what they'd want from us for their first.

Since they went after Mozgov, can we entice them with Dally? Just checking the box score for this game and it didn't seem like he really did anything significant to up his value with Larry back in the rotation. Just can't catch a break.

Yeah solid call, based more on his college production than this season though?

I'll be honest, I thought he had some holes in his game that would get exposed a little in the pros and I think that's been the case somewhat, so I'm not really disappointed in his rookie season. There were some folks who were mega high on him and going with the 'bona fide instant superstar' kind of talk though, I'd be really interested on whether they feel the same two thirds of the way through his rookie season.

I was / am a huge AD fan. This is about what I expected of him as a rookie, in general.

Well considering they were looking to get a 26 yr old mosgov from the nugs u have to figure they would at least consider Udoh or daly + a 2nd rounder or something. If they want a white center from us though I'm guessing Przy isn't gonna be enough unfortunately... :-(

He already maxed his value with a solid few games in Sanders absence.

A player like Daly really does not need to up his value though, with so many years under his belt, you know that he is a 26-28min Center who can get you 9ppg, 7rpg, and 1.5-2bpg.

How would everyone feel about this?

Apparently, Pacers are offering Granger and Hill to Lakers for Nash, others will be added to fill the trade.

I can't imagine LA trading Nash.

Sorry should clarify, I'm definitely a fan too.

It's his wingspan that won me over. It's INSANE, his arms are huge and he can grab boards and block shots.

What's the rationale behind liking Henderson more than Redick. Is it because he's a little taller? Better tan? He's not close to the same quality.

Garbs_7 · Post #28 » by **Garbs_7** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 8:01 am

Yep Henderson is just a guy, run of the mill wing for mine who has had every opportunity to be the man in Charlotte but just isn't good enough. I guess Henderson would be cheaper but he wouldn't really be an upgrade of talent over the rest of our guys.

paul wrote:Yeah crap night for Bogut that's for sure, got scored on I think 4 times by Big Al, really only touched the ball on about 3 possessions, missed two shots and two tips, got yanked and didn't get back in. Wasn't icing or anything on the bench, don't know if he was unwell but Biedrins and Ezeli certainly weren't giving them anything more. Bogut looks rusty for sure, but he's just not touching the ball, like at all. The only times he is touching it is in stop ball post ups which really isn't his game at all.

He looked winded quickly, more than in his other games this season, so may have been a bit unwell. I imagine sitting in the 2nd was also partly because they never really got close enough and it was the first night of a b2b (aside from being crap).

Just Curious, Since the Warriors suck on the perimeter, Would you trade Moute/Henson for Landry/Barnes?

Heck yes! Barnes has the potential to be a top 20 player in the NBA! It would hurt moving Henson as I think he will also be a beast but Barnes is a special player at a position of need! Too bad its all wishfull thinking as the Warriors are not trading him...

Barnes will never be a top 20 guy. No defense.

I'd be specifically curious about what blazza and paul have to say on this matter.

I haven't seen enough GSW this year to really know how Barnes is doing.

HurricaneKid · Post #34 » by **HurricaneKid** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 4:48 pm

Landry >>>>>>>>>> Mbah
Barnes >>> Henson

Furthermore, Landry makes less than Mbah.

This is completely a non-starter as GSW are VERY high on Barnes.

How exactly is Jennings "nearly untouchable?"
