It only makes sense that we learn of D12 future in the next thread.


Hope we learn our fate that soon, but have a feeling we'll be in 13 or 14 by the 15th of March.

He'll tease it at 11am and then at 12:55pm say it'll be on Monday's show.

Granger is a better fit then Ellis IMO. Monta is not a pg, and a backcourt with him and Meer is too small.

Granger has turned into a chucker. I no longer see him as a second option. Ellis can start at the pg if Jameer has for the last seven years.

We might be at Part XII by the middle of the night imo... it's ready when we reach 99/100 pages...

Either Granger or Monta would be a nice upgrade in talent on this team. I would rather have Monta though. You can start him at the one and bring Meer off the bench (a role in which he would flourish in) and cut Duhon out of the equation. Win-win all around.

J-Rich needs to kick rocks.....Too inconsistent and virtually brings nothing to the table that Redick can't emulate

he can use a change of scenery and play with a team with a purpose for a change.

and no no to jameer/ellis together on the court. ellis to come here to play at 1 as a combo guard.

I just wonder if we're all going to be saying the same thing about us not being a contender if we've got either Ellis, Granger, Jackson, Nash, Sessions, etc. and we're still 3rd in the East come playoff time (which we more than likely still will be)

I'd rather have Monta than Granger. Monta is more aggressive. Has more of a killer-instinct. Bring Jameer off the bench though.

Do you think the Timberwolves and Suns would go for a deal like this?

Wolves get: Redick
Sungs get: Beasley, Orton, Duhon
Magic get: Nash

I think it works for all teams. Wolves gets a 2 guard to play alongside Rubio, Suns get a talented player in Beasley and of course the Magic remain in championship contention for two years.

PG-Nash/Meer
SG-Jrich/Wafer
SF-QRich/Hedo
PF-Ryan/BBD
C-Dwight/BBD

Pushing Meer and Hedo to the bench would give our second unit much needed fire power.

I know its not a real rumor but I would love Tyreke learning from SVG. I think SVG's best attribute is his player development.
