Completely agreed. We need to start building leads in the first quarter to get away from close games in the 4th. *Warning, Dead Horse beating inc.* I think the only way that's happening is if we start Dedmon and bring in Simmons early.

Patty/Gasol/Manu can more than anchor the bench unit. Foreign legion 2.0

With you on the dead horse thing. We need to do something to light a fire under our starting unit on both ends.

agree, the first two definitely need to be on the block.

if mills can be consistent with parker out maybe there is hope, but i dont really see this team even getting close to the other top west teams over 7 games.


Green's contract is a pretty nice asset. What about Green/Anderson for Rubio? I think we potentially have some shooting issues down the line, but man we'd shore up so many other areas of concern.

I am not so high on Rubio, just don't see him as a great fit here either.

I also feel like Green's played himself off the metaphorical trade block this year (I doubt that RC every seriously considering dealing him). A guy that does what he does at that price tag is valuable.

Green's been soo bad offensively that he was reduced to a defensive replacement last night.
Anderson's play has basically made him worthless in trade value and I'm sorry, but this team inst trading Gasol.

If we are still playing this way in March I'll be more concerned. We still have plenty of time to get guys acclimated and playing better.

Green hasn't been so bad. He's shooting 41% from three and still has flashes of being a good defender. I just picked Rubio because the wolves need a wing and we need a PG, and the salaries match. Rubio could replicate DG's defense, while running the offense. I don't know where we'd get shooting from though. Bertans would definitely need more minutes.
