If it's true we're shopping Henderson, that means we are definitely targeting a SG at pick 9, because we can't go into free agency empty handed at that position. We need at least some leverage when/if we plan to sit down and talk with Lance Stephenson.

I think this pick comes down to Stauskas vs. Harris which is why Clifford keeps pushing size size size. When Cho was praising the mid-range game and how it's unappreciated, I think he was alluding to McDermott, not Harris.


I would rather go empty at SG than empty at PF which is what we are doing now, unless you think Zeller can start next year and play 30 minutes. McBob is going to get overpaid.


I think they like Zeller and McRoberts.

Cho drafted Zeller #4 overall just 1 year ago and Zeller's production jumped post-all star. Clifford gave him legit minutes. Cho has said they intend to try to keep McRoberts and he's a big part of the team.

So yeah, if they're shopping Henderson then they are looking to upgrade SG. I think it hints to them leaning towards at SG at 9 because free agency offers no guarantee of a player at all, let alone an upgrade to Henderson.

I think it will be a SG and it will either be Stauskas or Harris. I think they want some insurance when they don't trade Henderson away and when they don't land one in free agency.

Do you guys believe this will be Charlotte's last attempt to package Henderson with 24? Surely they must have multiple negotiations involving Henderson and didn't put all their eggs in the Afflalo basket.

So much for that uniform video being evidence that he was not going to be traded.

Can't even move him with a first rounder attached. Its pathetic.

For anyone, or just to the Magic for Afflalo?

I understand why Magic didn't for cap reasons, but weve been trying to get rid of him for a while and still cant
