Rhymes with Nintendo - The Gerald Henderson Thread

[HornetJail]

Hes still a very solid player. Need to utilize him more.

With MKG and Neal healthy that's going to be tough. It's going to come down to PJ vs. Hendo for minutes.

We just have to move a wing. I don't want to lose a pick but I think that's our only option. IMO, we should do Hendo + Marvin + 1st for the best scorer at PF we can get.

That might get us David Lee, who is a horrible fit with Big Al defensively. But I'd do that for Jeff Green and play small.

[Marino]

I wish he could get on the first plane out of Charlotte. Henderson is rubbish now. Just straight awful.

The only question I have about Hendo is when he will be traded..... I would love to see us grab some more depth....

Anybody with a video of it go back and watch that play IND won the game on. Clifford puts Hendo in for defensive purposes with 15 secs left. Shot goes up. Solomon Hill knows where he's going - to the rim for the rebound. Hendo doesn't put a body on him, and when he lazily realizes that Hill is flying by him, pushes Hill in the back, toward the rim, helping propel him to the game winner. Good defender my ass.

He is definitely prone to bad lapses, remember the Orlando game that cost us the 5th seed? That was on Henderson as well.

This guy is beginning to become the player that you guys should learn to love. Hes frustrating as hell, but what he did last year is better than what we've been getting at the 2 guard spot. Ill leave it at that.

[fatlever]

he's still a horrible fit for the team, but he plays his ass off and doesnt complain

[yosemiteben]

Henderson forgive us for doubting you, we are ready to accept you once again.

[Diop]

NOOO!!!

don't fall for his Jedi mind tricks. As soon as you accept him back he will go back to stinking it up.

Trade Lance and make him the starter again and watch him take fadeaway 2's all over the place.

Im fine with him as a back up. Regardless hes a hell of a teammate and knows his role.

[Diop]

same, I don't mind him off the bench either.

[HornetJail]

Let give Hendo some credit.

Hendo's last six games:
16/7/6
13/3/8
9/5/1
14/8/4
16/4/3
19/4/5

14.5/5.2/4.5 on 43% and some very solid defense. He's only 1/8 from deep, but he looks pretty damn good right now. I really hope Hendo goes to a team with great shooters, because he'll get to play his game.

[MasterIchiro]

He's not what we need long term but he has been solid keeping the team in it without Al. His game is much better without Al in there. Still, Hendo will be opting in.

[TheKingofSting]

Sadly he will probably be back to the bench when Lance is ready.

I don't think so. And that 2nd unit needs Lance with Roberts so Roberts won't have to dribble or create opportunities. He can just shoot and hardly touch the ball.

[tondi123]

If Hendo keeps starting and playing well does he decide to opt out after the season? Would we prefer him to opt in or opt out at this point?

Too many variables to say right now. Hendo isn't a perfect fit between Kemba and MKG but they are familiar with his game and sadly he plays a lot more disciplined than Lance even tho he passes up open 3s to take a contested fadeaway.

As of now if the season ended today I would hope Hendo opt in and I'm sure he would because no other team around the league really values him. We couldn't trade him away for peanuts because he play like he's in the year he was born aka 1980s.

I still hope we swing a trade for Jeremy Lamb while he's in the Thunder dungeon and could be had for virtually nothing. Lamb has had a solid year under the radar but Scott Brooks just dislike him. I hope we could trade Neal and Taylor expirings to open up a roster and rotation spot for Lamb. I even asked for it in my prayers.

[MasterIchiro]

I would love to turn Hendo into Afflalo, not just because Afflalo has performed in the past on an elite level shooting 3's but also because their names rhyme. It would be nice to keep some consistency. They also both play solid defense. Both athletic. Both can play SG or SF.
