Trade Deadline: Thursday, Feb 20, 12:00 Pacific

We are also wasting some of his most productive years with this middling roster of jump shooters.

 

He's the biggest culprit if you're gonna accuse this team of being jump shooters.

 

I guess the team is happy with that.

 

It seemed like a legitimate query. If not, please point out where it was so off base. If a team has no draft picks, no cap space, no ending contracts......that doesn't seem a very flexible place to be to improve the roster on an ongoing basis. It seems like you would be somewhat stuck. That also is detail/fact/logic.

 

11 minutes left in the trade dealine was a little late to say "hey, he's on the block" now.

*facepalm*

Seriously!

 

I mean in the off season just to see what his value is.

 

Fact - Our roster/team has improved greatly. Feel free to compare last years record to this season. Are we not the most improved team?

 

Going into this past offseason, though, what moves do you want him making that slightly opens up that flexibility? Again, making the assumption Wright and Mo are only coming with a 2nd year available to them? Do you pass on them? Do you pass on options to Robinson who you just traded for, and Leonard?

 

Fropez has made the team much better. But that doesn't mean those other things don't apply. Are we a contender? Or is the goal just to make the playoffs and likely lose in the 1st round without HCA? We are not 'mediocre' which is basketball purgatory. Not bad enough to get a good pick and very likely not good enough to make any type of run in the playoffs. Our record has improved but outside of Lopez, our roster isn't that much better. Fropez has allowed players to excel which is great but take away him and the bench is still at the bottom, D is still in the bottom 1/3 and they don't get easy baskets or force turnovers. Details/facts/logic.

And I would say based on projections, Phoenix is the most improved team. They have NOTHING and are only a few games behind us when most thought they could possibly be the worst team in the league. I hope the Blazers figure it out and get right back to battling for the #2 spot but that seems unlikely.

 

Well in the off-season everybody on the roster should be available for the right price.
But of course you want Wes on the block...

 

76ers may still get Kaman

 

I wouldn't have gone shopping so much at the Rack. I'd rather have one impact player than a bunch of also-rans for cheap. Hindsight is 20/20 but I'll be as forthright as possible and it's up to others to accept that.

Robinson: Would have extended. For right or wrong, he has a great motor and talent in there somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it. He hasn't turned out very good but just being honest.
Williams: Liked his contract which he will likely opt out of.


Leonard: Heck no. Would not have picked up the extra year. It's a BBIQ/Heart issue. I have the same 'heart' issue with Nic and never would have paid him the money he is currently getting.
Wright: Nice piece but if he wasn't willing to do a 1-year like Hickson, wouldn't have signed him.

 

Which team wins

Ronnie Price, Barton, Babbitt, Claver and Leonard

Vs.

Mo, CJ, Wright, Robinson, Freeland

 

You honestly expect a team to go from 33-49 to a contender in one season? Hilarious.

 

Did someone say that? However, the goal is to be a contender is it not?

 

Wait a minute... so we have a RLEC right now? Learn the game then post.

 

And it was only weeks ago when people were called crazy for NOT thinking we're a contender...
