Look at those games and tell me he's playing well... Outside of March 4th against Charlotte - 23 points 8-16 shooting, 14 boards, 5 assists and March 8th against SA - 26 points 12-18 shooting, 5 boards, 2 assists He's hardly playing like an All-Star. He only had 2 games out of 9 where he went for 10 boards or more, and his shooting has been sub-par. 7-16 shooting 6-19 shooting 11-24 shooting 2-13 shooting
I posted on here that I don't watch college ball anymore and didn't know who he was until he was drafted. WHat was your point here?
Dalembert is a very above average defensive minded center that can be had with free cap space (6 mil). He would play 25 minutes per game and is easy to slide as a reserve when Leonard develops. If we trade Aldridge for a center, we are not only trading Aldridge, but most likely getting rid of Leonard too. Keep that in mind. He won't want to be a back up forever.
Feb 22nd against LA - 15 points 6-19 shooting, 6 boards, 3 assists Feb 24th against Boston - 16 points 7-15 shooting, 4 boards, 3 assists March 2nd against Minny - 17 points 7-16 shooting, 8 boards, 4 assists March 6th against Memphis - 10 points 2-13 shooting, 10 boards, 6 assists March 10th against NOR - 16 points 6-14 shooting, 6 boards, 1 assist Those are All-Star numbers to you?
Not to sound callous, but it doesn't matter what Leonard wants. He's under contract and plays for the team in whichever capacity we need. Dalembert is the "great" defensive center you're going forward with? For how long? He's a stop gap at best. I was hoping for a longer term solution, Mags.
His offensive game has been shit this season and its laughable that he gets a pass. There I said it. Still like him though.
1) This isn't a thread about Batum, is it? 2) Batum isn't an All-Star and our anointed hero of the realm. 3) Batum is also playing with a bad wrist. Aldridge is healthy as far as I know.
Lmao remember a player named jermaine oneal? Eventually the player will want out or complain. Sanders would be getting 35 minutes a game. No development for the prospect. What can we trade for Leonard?
