Makes no sense to keep this loose until end of year then turn it on at the end just enough to miss the playoffs and get a bad Draft pick. same story for the last five years. Get rid of these guys while you still can. Do you honestly think Hibbert or Rush are ever going to be very good players.
You're argument is flawed. Granger is 27 years old. Maybe Boston should of traded Paul Peirce when he was 27? Didn't he get reinforcements at like age 30 and still did pretty good, no? Pacers have been rebuilding for years, thus they were losing. It's common sense. Don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out.
Do I think Hibbert can be a real good NBA player? Sure. What has he done to prove me wrong? He's just 24 years old. Experience is a major factor in his game, because he lacks it. Even Brook Lopez is struggling this season, but let me guess, they should just trade that bum too?
Your theory would work great on xbox, trade anyone who doesn't preform as soon as possible and make one sided trades to help the team. This isn't xbox man, it just doesn't work that way.
Instead of cleaning house, they need to ADD to them. Next summer they have to add a free agent or add a guy via trade and again in the summer of 2012. As mentioned before in another thread, possibly Eric Gordon Jr in 2012 but you have to be patient with young teams. Unless you're just playing xbox...
