This is hilarious, not the joke you intended (which wasn't really funny), but the fact that as you tried to poke fun at somebody for messing up his name, you yourself got the name wrong.

yeah, if we trade him we just have to sign someone else to back up PG. finding someone with his size who can play the spot isn't easy, though his defense is kind of bad anyway

2:39 in the morning :naaa:

I was more concerned about getting Meyers wrong than Maynor and made an oopsie. Oh well, you got the point

He's 26 years old, avg'ing 16, 5, & 3. He seems happy with his role and is just making 5m per year and is only signed through next year.

I would rather give him a 2 year extension for $5m each after this year. No reason in the world to trade him unless, some contender suffered an injury and made us a crazy offer.

I'm not interested in trading him whatsoever.

I want him to stick around long term as long as he's fine being a backup. $5mil isn't out of this world for a high level 6th/7th man

I agree with the others. I'd extended him another 2 years at 5 mil per. He is the perfect guy off the bench in the 2nd and 4th quarters. And if we have solidarity at the PG position for 5+ years, the team will stay consistent.

you wouldn't trade him for your boy Lamb?

Honestly, that's a trade anyone would have to consider, but we'd need a PG something bad. And maybe get rid of Hendo or Gordon. 3 of our best 5 players would be Shooting guards, the other two would be kemba and MKG.

Of course I would. I doubt OKC would though.

I'm saying don't trade him for the sake of trading him. We're in the midst of what is shaping up to be the best season Bobcats PGs have had. It would take a great deal to move him when we finally have quality depth at that spot

I'd want a PG coming back. I guess Westbrook would do. Westbrook and Lamb for Sessions and Diop, seems reasonable.

If Maynor really does struggle and they miss having a creative guard off the bench who knows.

They don't really need prospects as their stars are all young, winning now is more important.

But I agree, I wouldn't trade Sessions unless we're getting some real quality back.

A Sessions/Hendo for Lamb/Maynor is intriguing. Don't think OKC does it though, not enough upgrade in talent to warrant the more advanced age/upcoming contract requirements.

both sessions and hendo are better right now than lamb and maynor but rookie contracts are more valuable

That's to much if we give up Diop they have to throw in Durant. :wink:

how does hendo fit with what the thunder are doing? they have martin and thabo already. they would be renting hendo for 1 year (no chance they pay him 30+ mil to keep him) at a position where they dont really need the help.

The deal would have to be Ramon Sessions with a future 1st rounder for Jeremy Lamb, Eric Maynor, and our 2nd rounder back. The question to me is which future pick would we be willing to part with, Portland's or Detroit? I would part with the Portland pick because I have a feeling they may squeeze into the playoffs as a 8th seed this year. I think Lamb as our future SG is every bit of worth it. I also think that 2nd round pick could be valuable for us to acquire a backup PG or PF/C in next year's draft like Trey Burke, Aaric Murray, Jarnell Stokes, or Flip Pressey.

and that leaves us with hendo, gordon, lamb, reggie and taylor all fighting for minutes at sg.

We shouldn't be concerned with having too much talent and assets. If I'm not mistaken that's the thesis for rebuilding properly. I don't think Hendo or Gordon are in our future plans so they instantly become trade bait and then Reggie and Taylor can rot the bench or be used very sparingly if Lamb is in the fold.

I think we'd easily be able to flip some of those guys to Utah for one of their bigs. We need bigs, they need wings. No-brainer.

Or we could go the draft pick route, which I'd probably prefer for the long run.

Speaking of Utah I wonder how much they value Alec Burks these days.
