Here is my concern about Lopez: His first three years in the league he was a rock. 82 games 82 games 82 games After that it started to go downhill. 5 games 74 games 17 games 72 games (started 44) Are we getting the first three years or the next four years? Foot injuries on big men terrify me.
I know your point is how desireable Green was last off season, but man, he's been absolutely terrible offensively this year.
Yes he has. No doubt about that. I'm really just illustrating how a guy who is a clear-cut role player is making over $11 million per year.
in todays NBA a guy like AC is definitely worth 10-12 mil per I expect us to pay him whatever we thought we were gunna pay Lenoard and vice versa
Ain't it grand to know that the Spurs aren't 100% infallible? I love it! Maybe Green will be the first squirt of grease on the skids....
The Nets don't really have leverage here for a trade with good return, which makes me think he won't be dealt. The most I'd deal for him would be Hendo+Kaman, gets them out of a contract but they lose talent for basically nothing. So not gonna happen. I'd take him if they agreed to that cost though.
I don't think we are going to trade anyone this year. Maybe in the off-season to try and get a draft pick, but otherwise I think the goal is to see how the team can grow. If these guys show potential in the playoffs then we might get to watch them play together for another season before making any moves. Then maybe we bring Kaman in as a coach after his contract expires and try to bring in a big name free agent. I honestly wonder if we need one though. I think if this team played together for 3 seasons we would have an extremely solid starting 5 in Dame, Crabbe, Aminu, Vonleh, Plumlee. With a great bench rotation of CJ, Davis, Meyers. That's a legit 8 man rotation, and if you start getting 3-5 solid minutes out of the other guys, even if only on defense, then you start looking at a deep squad.
It's worrying to me. I rhink Meyers has great potential, I think as he gets older he has better understanding of where to be/what to do on defense and when he does, he could be our 3rd star-talent player along with CJ and Dame, I think we should try our best to keep him in Portland.
Nah, I think Neil has a plan and isn't going to stray from it. Meyers is part of that plan but I'm not sure Olshey will offer any more or less than he did to Meyers over the summer.
I agree I think he'd more likely be an offseason deal. Could be an option if we strike out in free agency. One other thing.. CJs NOT A BENCH PLAYER
I hope Olshey looks for deals before trade deadline for Henderson/Kaman and possibly Leonard. What could we get for those players?? If any could be combined - we'd possibly end up with another rotation level player. PS I agree-- CJ is starting SG. He's not all-star level, but he's fine. Address the other positions or bench.
