Jonas Jerebko has redeemed himself from the earlier part of the season where he was horrendous.

Post All Star Break: 10 points/5 boards on 51%FG and 37% from deep in 21 minutes per game.

The question is what to do with him? Keep him? Or trade him while his value is back up?

#1 Priority. Package him with another April Warrior, Stuckey, to upgrade a position in our SL.
Backup Plan. He's a solid bench role player so we just keep him. No reason to dump him as his cap hit is negligible.

I think he's fine for us. He knew to make the most of his opportunity when Tayshaun was traded and he did.

I say keep him.

Like all role players, it all depends what else is available.

All of our role players should be expendable at a moments notice. If something better comes along you replace him immediately. If not, he'd be fine as a backup PF for 15 mpg behind Monroe next year.

Trade him without question. I want a backup PF who can defend and rebound. If teams are interested then we shouldn't risk keeping him and having him turn into "poop" again next year. We should be able to acquire an upgrade over him in the offseason.

Definitely shop Jerebko, Stuckey and Villanueva around.

Maybe we can take back a bad contract for Jerebko / Stuckey + Singler and pick up a top ten pick

But I would definitely like to see Poop, Stuckey, CV, Singler moved for quality bench production

Detroit Out: Jonas
Detroit In: Wilson Chandler, Jason Richardson
J-Rich is old and overpaid for the next 3 years. Also out until next February, but we get our SF


Philly out: J-Rich, 1st rounder
Philly in: Jonas
Get rid of dead-weight and young prospect for a 1st rounder in a bad draft

Denver Out: Wilson Chandler
Denver in: Philly 1st
Shed Cap space and still get a first rounder.

we need to try him out at SF. if he can play that i say keep him. as a big man he sucks

Trade him ASAP. He showed major attitude issues during the past 2 seasons and he is not good enough to justify the diva attitude. Send Jonas and Stuckey as far as possible as fast as possible.

The last thing this team need is 2 guys who sulk the whole season and at the end of the season after the season is beyond lost they start to stat pad and get great numbers.

This is what I would do.

I've been a fan of Jonas at SF all along so i vote to keep him unless we can properly upgrade the roster. His contract is reasonable too.
Between him, middleton and singler we can cover the SF spot by committee until we have a real answer there.
If he continues solely at PF like he was at the start of the year then we should move him.

yeah, lets not be silly, we know what he is by now. and atleast he finally might have some sort of second round value. lets drop him. he's getting paid 4 mil a year! imagine if we signed someone like him for 4 mil a year this offseason.. we'd all be going insane. time to see what we can get.

i would rather middleton at sf to him by a loooonnng way! there is no way he is worth having on the roster. id rather win 2 better players by overpaying a mil or 2 with the money he is being paid than to give him another chance.

I would be shocked if JJ & Stuck are members of the Det Pistons next year. I don't think Singler is going anywhere. He's a tough player and does many good things. Let's not forget that he's still a rookie and has been much more consistent than Knight this year. Although Singler is not untouchable, his contract is so inexpensive that it would be ridiculous to ship him out unless he is being thrown in to obtain a player, through a trade, in which the trading team insists on the inclusion of Singler in the deal.

I think if you put feelers out there to gauge the interest around the league. If you could move him for an better fit, it's worth looking in to.

I think his broken foot was more hindering that expected.

Hypothetical trade:

Would you do Jerebko/Stuckey for Bargs?

Bargs has a bad contract, but would give us a dynamic scoring 3rd big - forming the league's best 3-big rotation.

PF - Monroe / Bargs
C - Drummond / Monroe

Yeah I probably would do that. The terrible part would be having Monroe and Bargnani on the court together. It would be some brutal defense. I'd just want to amnesity DNP-CV at this point. No will give anything for him.

JJ and Singler each have value around the league. Energy itself is a talent, and these guys play with remarkable energy. Hell, WE need energy guys too, so I wouldn't be so quick to trade either or both of them. Unless we get a good player and good fit in return, I'm holding onto them.

Middleton is the guy I'm fixated on now. I think this kid could be excellent. He's showing a lot of promise now, and this summer will be huge for him. However, while other teams might want him - they won't give us full potential value for him, so there's no way I'd trade him this summer. IMO, he's going to be a very good rotation player next season, and there'll be a lot of calls to start him. He could become our long term answer at SF. I don't necessarily see a SF in this draft that I'd rather have then him. (If we get Wiggins in 2014, then the hell with him! I'm fixated on him, not emotionally disturbed!)

It is very disturbing you would want to amnesty CV all while trading an expiring and another decent contract for a glorified CV on an even worse contract. Dafuq? At the very worst, after having over $20 million in cap space this off season, we'll have another $17 million off the books next summer if we keep Stuckey and CV, and also JJ's expiring. We don't have to rebuild this thing this summer alone, we can keep adding pieces next summer as well.
