I'd take Jeff Green in a heartbeat (hopefully that's not a bad choice of words).

Do you propose Zeller starting, raw-as-hell Vonleh starting, or Bismack starting at the 4?

Gerald + Neal + 2nd round pick for Lance and CJ Watson

Lol. Right. That might be the cap up and then we sign some guy named Lance Stevenson for the minimum as a undrafted free agent from the military institute that was intramurals MVP. Lol

Indiana wouldn't be trading Watson, as their backcourt is already shallow.

He doesn't know he just hates Williams for no reason.

Yes. I'd start Zeller's bum ass before Messy Marv. Messy Marv can't defend or rebound and his 3pt shot ain't dependable. I promise that he'll be a net negative for us next year like he's been for the Hawks and Jazz the past 3-4 years. He's a super bum.

I understand why we're doing it but surely we wouldn't sign him from Vegas? It seems like he'd at least want to tour the facilities and meet everyone and whatnot. This seems like a pointless meeting?

Wow I went out and came back to this news!! Whoohoo! This needs to happen tomorrow, but I'm not getting my hopes up yet. It might take a bit.

Then like you guys said some SG has to go. Whatever we can do to make it Lance/CDR in the depth chart I'll be happy.

Taylor can be trade fodder or waived.
Never seen Hairston until summer league but his game looks like poop on a stick.

I like JT, has a great work ethic, his teammates love him dearly, and has great leadership qualities and makes next to nothing. I want him on this roster next season.

that's nice and all but he sucks the majority of the time and is coming off a huge injury. we can be nice and supportive on facebook and twitter. business is business. he's getting replaced and we'll thank him for his services. this ain't rod's team anymore. no point in keeping scrubs like him and derrick brown around forever when we got real players coming

keep him on the payroll if we have to but take his roster spot. he needed d-league before he got hurt anyways. gary neal is replaced entirely by lance so there's no point in keeping him.

I don't think it's pointless. I think it's going down. It has to be in Vegas because that's where Cho and Clifford are.

Id keep him as a backup to MKG. But thats just me. Im sure im in the minority on this. I just have a soft spot for him, kind of feel bad for him to be honest.

We shoulda cut JT before his contract was guaranteed. He's just trade fodder now.

I think we Keep JT and trade Hendo+Neal.

Leaves us with:
Lance/P.J/JT
MKG/Williams/JT

My only problem with the whole trade thing is that Hendo got zero interest in free agency last year, and no one wants to trade for him for a homeless man and a banana peel. Neal is a fairly tradeable player. Good luck trying to trade Hendo, or another shooting guard at the same time to any team. I think we're stuck with them both for the season. Hendo could be good off the bench, hopefully he isn't pissed off with his rightful role.

YESSSSSSSS. Maybe we can move Hendo/Neal for another big

catch20two · Post #1240 » by **catch20two** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 3:29 am

I'd rather keep Neal and his expiring than waste a roster spot on JT. Find a way to trade JT. He wasn't good before the injury and I'm just imagining him being worst trying to recover from it and that sh*t get real ugly. Lol.
