what would be the point of that? You want to deal him or keep him, letting him expire, not just cut him loose

On Andrea:

- I think Andrea responded well to some of the things we challenged him on. He responded very well to the new coach coming in and having a direct line of communication with him. I do believe that Andrea proved a lot this year to himself, to us, to the new coach who came in with no preconceived notion but certainly a little bit of a history there and probably had comments and feedback there. But there were some unknowns. Defensively, he got a lot better and you might say it was the system, the coach motivating him, bottom line is he was better, more effective. I don't really care why it was.

He did not improve rebounding-wise but I don't know you're ever going to see Andrea rebound the ball real well, especially the way he's utilized. He's an inside-outside player, he'll be lifted a lot in a lot of sets. He's going to not always have the right mentality. That's something that if you talk about a guy like Ed Davis, he's got a nose for rebounding the basketball. Andrea doesn't have that nose. He's got a Roman nose but not a nose for the ball.

At the end of the day, we have a good sense of who Andrea is as a player. He's now 26. He's growing each and every year. He takes a step forward. That's positive in my mind. Thought at the time he was the right long-term pick for this franchise, still believe that, and we'll see where that goes."

I got that feeling too. He mentioned a hypothetical about using our cap to move the pick and bring back a big salary guy, or something like that, but it sounded like he was being intentionally vague about an idea he's put a lot of thought into. If that makes sense. I think he's already got a player in mind, possibly even been talking to another team already

Looks like he's following through with the old plan, except with not such craptastic D. What a waste.

Bring in Smitch as an assistant and let's get 100 SHATS plan back in order.

I'm not sure if we're really going to trade the pick. If anything they'll look for a more experienced player in the draft compared to the one and dones.
