The sooner we do it, the better.

To trade Vuc and Fournier we would have to be getting back all star talent to replace their scoring. Unless we crate a package for John Wall, Cousins, or Paul George. Those teams can get better players for those stars.

Nice signing Hennigan.


Everyone nows Green is either on or off. That's how his game is. We don't have a consistent scorer at SF currently.

The worst part about Vuc right now is that his value is going down every game. His percentages are downsignificantly across the board and his ppg are too. Im not sure what Vuc could even fetch us at this point. We'd have to pair him with Mario or a draft pick to get anything of value out of him

Well, we DID have a consistently scorer at SF:

Hennigan is singlehandedly destroying any goodwill and any assets this team has. This might end up worse than the Otis Smith years. At least we had a few playoff berths and a Finals appearance to show for it. He is the WORST GM this team has ever had. :banghead:

John walls someone I haven't really thought about. I would love him here. Not sure how much of a fantasy it is, with the wizards seemingly tanking right now but I'm sure we'd have to give up a ton, which I'd be all for if it could get us him.

We would need to give up half our SL and the remaining team wouldn't even compete this year. You have to retool in the offseason and add more talent. It's a panic short term move. We've had enough of those last year.

Have we had a game yet where both Vooch and Ibaka played well? Seems like we might be not-awful if that could happen.

That's fair, but to do that and then pair him with a stud wing in the draft this year doesn't sound like the worst idea. Henny wouldn't do it though

Trading Vucevic and Fournier would be about our future, not about now. We're not getting anything significant for either player. I'm talking about handing the team over to Payton, AG and Mario and trying again in the lottery.

Honestly with our draft luck, I, not betting on that. Best case scenario is we somehow sign Hayward in the offseason. He would be perfect. But I know that's a lot shot.

I'm fine with moving Vuc and Fournier if the opportunity came and cont to bet on the trio EP/AG/Mario. At least they are young and have a lot of potential for growth and improvement. With Vuc and Fournier? They have peaked. These are the players we are getting as long as they are here.

I don't care what our record says. Wins like these are fool's gold and we're still easily a bottom 5 team IMO.

Point differential still bottom 3 in the league

3 of our wins are against teams with depleted rosters while we have been at full strength.

Yeah we have squeezed every ounce of talent out of Vuc and Evan during there tenure here. We honestly need to hand the keys over to AG/Mario/Elf and give this team a ceiling they simply just don't have with Vuc and Evan as the main guys.

Relax, Rob got Green so we have more capspace next year. After we make the playoffs this year, free agents will flock to Orlando. The plan is in place!

I hope Hennigan knew what he was doing when he brought in Ibaka and Biz. There's no way he expected Ibaka, Biz, and Vuc to all play together, right? And he wouldn't just give Biz $80 mil to come off the bench either, right?

Someone please assure me that we all playin' checkers while Henny playin' chess..

Why do people keep saying hand the keys over to Elfrid like his playing time has been limited or something? He's literally been starting since like day one.

Because he defers to like 5 players in front of him instead of having a mindset of its up to me to get it done. And he's barely had a chance to share the court with Mario and AG.
