He's taller (6'6"), only 23, played really well last season (19.9 PER), but is struggling this season. If you feel like Hendo's value has never been higher, and you want ONLY players in Dame's career arc, you might trade Hendo for Shabazz.

He plays NO defense, though.

 

Yeah but why would Minnesota want Henderson?

 

I remember when Shabazz was in college he was seen as the next Kobe. Maybe he'd blow up here like everyone else seems to be doing. Minny is one of those shit places like Sactown where you have to get the young players out of there to see if they're really any good since they can't develop them.

 

absolutely
I cringe every time he tosses it, I'm usually better off looking away when he has the ball in his hands, I would prefer NOT spewing all over the people around me.

 

Free cap space. A lot of teams think they can be free agent players this summer (even if they can't).

 

Actually they thought that when he was in HS. Expectations went down in college because his outside shot was nothing special.
It has since improved, but his biggest strength IMO is his willingness to attack the basket. He is no star but he is a decent player.
Another example of good players from the lottery, who can be had a couple of years later because there are so many of them.

 

ESPN talked about Blake Griffin to Boston for Crowder, Bradley and the Brooklyn pick.

The Clippers are trying to win now and want vets not picks. Maybe we can jump in as the third team

Basically we give up Ed Davis, Hendo, Meyers, take on some salary and get the Brooklyn pick which could be #1 overall and Ben Simmons.

The premise has mutual benefits for all teams. Clippers get a ton of vets who can play on both sides of the ball and a deep bench. Meyers gives them a free throw shooter to finish games. Boston gets the star they want and shortens their rotations.

Amir / Sullinger / Zeller
Griffin / Olynyk
Turner / Lance
Smart / Hunter
Isiah / Rozier

DeAndre / Ed
Crowder / Meyers
Hendo / Pierce
Reddick / Bradley
CP3 / Rivers

Plumlee
Vonleh / Harkless
Aminu
CJ / Crabbe
Dame

 

Also came out that one of the main reasons he was dominating in HS was because he was older than everybody else.

A lil OJ Mayo esque.

Zero interest in Shabazz. We have wing prospects who are either better (Crabbe), or with similar potential (Harkless).

 

Yeah I think we'd absorb whatever overpaid players other teams don't want.

Thats a good tweak I agree Boston could use Crawford off the bench.

 

I want Sullinger. I think he would be awesome in Stotts' offense.

 

POR Gets: Ben McLemore, Darren Collision
SAC Gets: Meyers Leonard, Two Future 2nds
-------------------------------------------------------------
POR Gets: 25th Pick, 34th pick, Lance Stephenson (Buyout with capspace)
LAC Gets: Gerald Henderson, Chris Kaman
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lillard / Collison
McCollum / McLemore
Aminu / Crabbe
Vonleh / Harkless
Plumlee / Davis

Add 25th and 34th picks

 

Don't get me wrong, I love adding Collison and mcLemore....... but I really like Hendo. I think I would keep him if I could.

 

the clips trade could happen but why does sacramento do the first one? already have cousins,koufos and w-c-stien covering the center spot

 

They likely view Meyers as a PF. They'd probably think Meyers would be the perfect compliment to those 3 big men.

 

If we add McLemore we have to trade Henderson cuz Crabbe and McLemore need their minutes

 

yea but even confused ameratuers like me see that myers is only useful as a five, i am pretty sure their their scouts will have informed them of the same

 

I completely disagree. CJ does just fine setting up the offense.

 

Where can I sign up for this? I think Ben would have a revival in Rip City and DC is one of the best backups in the game. Honda's been playing well, but let's not be prisoners of the moment; he's still an unrestricted free agent. Do we really want to shell out big bucks for a fourth guard?

 

Idk I just feel like if we added a steady guy who can move the ball effectively to the second unit we would be a lot better. I've seen so many times with the CJ run offense is a lot of over dribbling, late/bad looks, Davis and Hendo bail us out a lot with offensive rebounds and hitting contested shots.
