Well no suprises here . Pretty much expected move.

It was expected. It's actually good news for Ager too. Yeah he won't play at all unless there is an injury (knocking on wood), but he this offseason may find a team that wants his services or he could possibly go over to europe.

I'm still getting a sinking suspicion that we're trying to move Sean with a combo of our players (see: Hassel/Simmons/Stro). Either that or Stro/Ager because Ager now becomes an expiring.

Just a complete random thought.

I don't think we have much of a shot at Lebron.
Also, even if we do, we have 2 seasons to move VC if needed.
If Lebron isn't coming here there are still a few really nice options, but....

I know this is never going to happen, so it is just a hypothetical, but if we could trade, say, Boone, Swat, CDR, contract filler and 2 1st rounders for Tinsley(we would be forced to take him as part of the deal) and Granger, would you do it?

Yeah, I didn't want to bring that up.

Anyway, Larry must have been on our forum last night, cause after he read my post he immediately inked Granger to a very reasonable 5 year extension.

lmao at wiretap. Williams is an idiot if he thinks they would have declined his option so they pay him more money.

Yeah i think he was more upset because he wants out. He has no reason to want to stay here. With a handful of young guys in the frontcourt who are favored over him by what seems to be a lot, he cant want to waste his career on this team. This is indeed turning into another marcus williams situation.

If i were thorn id tell frank to start playing him NOW and a LOT so i can hurry up and decide what I should do with him. How the hell do you know if a player is worth keeping if you never see him play?

After the moves and the draft this year, I think it honestly was clear that if we were gonna move a young big, Sean was the one on his way out. I think he saw the writing on the wall. As athletic has he is, I wasn't sure if they'd want to wait around for him. Boone and Yi are hopefully the future at the 4 and 5 for us, and I personally think that Boone and Anderson will gladly be career backups that play hard ever second on the court.

I would not be surpised if we're shopping the living hell out of him. A lot of people drool over this guy which is why we overrate him, but I think we're only gonna get a player in a need position that has as much potential but is a question mark like him. I thought that guy would be Shawne Williams or one of the kids out in Portland or something but I was wrong on all accounts lol. Once Najera is 100% and we have a front court rotation of Yi/Lopez/Boone/Najera/Anderson/Stro, I think Hassel/Sean will be moved out of town for a young 2 or 3 with potential.

But do we really have a needed position? Keyon backs up the 1. Jarvis the 2 or 3 and obviously we have a lot of bodies in the froncourt. I guess if we're gonna start looking way ahead for when vince gets too old to be the star of this team, we'd look at a budding 2 guard or a 1st round pick. Personally i feel like the writing on the wall should have been for boone but oh well.

I feel like we either hold onto to Sean till the draft if he doesn't become part of a bigger trade, and then trade up in the draft with him.
