    I bet that is more true if the player had enough time to adjust to the city and teammates. But we are looking at less than 60 days. I wonder if that is long enough. Especially during the dog days of a season when teams often give up when they are out of the race. Does that sour a player on a franchise?

    My guess is Blair (Like all young players in search of their first big contract) will take the best offer regardless who it is. Not sure how much we would offer him. But you are right, if we like him a lot and are willing to offer as much as anyone else, we would have a decent shot.

    Yeah. They have good fundamentals and are coachable.

    Rudy's rookie season was a 15.5 PER. Nate said change your game and it went down and he is out of the league.

    Rudy would be by far our top bench performer if he came back to our team tomorrow. That may not be saying too much with our bench unit this year however.

    I like Green a bit, but I honestly think Claver will be pretty solid

    What's wrong with the trade? I think its pretty solid for both teams.

    Jennings is good. I don't think he's as good as he thinks he is, but he's good.

    I'm not in a hurry to trade Claver. Of all our backups, Claver and Leonard are the only ones I'd try to keep.

    Ya I agree but we need scoring off the bench more than we need solid all around role players off the bench. I don't think Claver is ever going to avg 10+ points a game. He's a very solid smart player but not a scorer.

    Technically we need both. And I doubt people are banging down the door to trade for Claver anyways so no harm keeping him for now.

    Of course if it takes Claver to upgrade our starting five, you don't think twice. But you try to pawn off someone else first.
