Brooklyn’s SwagDaddy - The DeMarre Carroll Thread

[kamaze]

So when/where can we sell high on Carroll? Don't get me wrong, I love him on this team. However, older guys like he & Lin are not part of the long term vision. You trade them for assets when you can, before an injury torpedoes their trade value. If he can sustain his play and health until the deadline, there could be interest from a playoff contending team.

Why would they want to trade him? He's playing good and is the veteran calming influence in the locker room.

As a general manager you want to flip your players like burger patties because team chemistry is manufactured by wild experimentation, not consistency.

This is a young team that didn't have an identity for the first 4 years in Brooklyn I'd rather keep him and draft his successor.
He's a strong veteran presence and an expiring contract next year. If they can bring in Jamil Wilson (there's a thread on him) they're gucci.

Demarre Carroll is out for tomorrow’s game with no specific diagnosis. I think that’s a good thing and means he most likely just sprained it as opposed to severe structural damage.

He’s probably gonna miss a couple weeks but the good new is that Russell should be back soon. I’m hoping for MLK day.

Not sure why the medical team let him played yesterday... he clearly looked not 100% and played like s*** because of it.

probably a sprain.

I've googled Demarre like 10 times since the game waiting on some diagnosis news. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait

Hey man I’ll put it this way.

Woj came out with an article today that mentioned Carroll as a trade target for other teams and didn’t mention anything about his injury.

Hopefully that’s a good sign.

Honestly, I don't trade Carroll at this point. He has tremendous value on and off the court for us, and doesn't make any sense pick up another bad salary for another pick in 20's. So I don't trade him, except for absurd offers.
He also increase his value next year, in offseason or next deadline, because he's an expires contract.

What a tremendous leader this guy has become for this organization.

Keep him until at least the deadline. He’s a great guy to have around over the long offseason months and to set the tone early into the season. If he has value to a contender at in February, move him for a late first round pick and load up for next years draft.

One of my favorite guys to come through here. I hold him in the same regard as Alan Anderson and Jarrett Jack. Professional guys with their heads in the right place. Lin also is in that category too. Hopefully he remains here for the long run if we don't trade him.

[Keith Van Horn]

If he doesn't get traded, I'd love to have him stick around for the rest of his career. He's been nothing but professional. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes with practices and the coaches, but I love how Carroll rose in his role as leader.

It’s crazy because I never did leg weights in my nine years in the league. I never focused on the bottom half of my body. This performance team gets all the credit because they kept me here and made me do the work, made me do the work at the game when I didn’t want to.

“My player development coach Jordan Ott was really big for me, helping me minimize the game and helping me do what I do well. I feel like this is my best season not only physically, but mentally. I think it’s hats off to the player development team and the performance team.

Hahahaha, wow.

skipping leg day is a sin

skipping leg day is a sin

Especially for a guy whose a 9 year NBA vet lol. Like in all that time between high school, college, the pros, he never thought it would be a good idea to strengthen his legs and his core lol?

It's interesting that he mentions this considering how much he battled with lower body/leg injuries throughout his tenure in Toronto. No one thought to tell him to work on his legs lol?
