    Are there no teams like the old Nets who desperately wanted another Gerald from us?

    Where would those three guys fit on this team?

    Vonleh > Robinson
    Harkless > Barton
    Anyone > Claver

    I like you as a poster, but I believe right now you are spreading falsehoods. From my POV not much of what you described actually took place. You ought give credit to the many posters on this board whom actually understood from the beginning that Vonleh was the prize rather than create an alternate reality where they didn't.

    Agree with Paine; you're talking out of your ass here. Find one post where someone said that?

    It was always Nic for Vonleh. Some though we wanted Hendo as a throw in others though his value was less than nothing and Charlotte insisted we absorb his contract.

    I don't want a Florida Marlins title. Would rather fail at something hard than succeed at something easy.

    Assuming there aren't any stellar suitors for Gerald out there, how are ya'll feeling about having him on our bench into the future?

    Not a huge fan of it because I think some young guys (like Harkless) need more time and Stotts would be too tempted to roll out Gerald for too many minutes instead in that scenario.

    IMO Harkless got a steady diet of minutes for a long time and frankly has not shown much so Hendo is now getting more minutes, Hark has shot only 26% from 3 this year - in a Stotts offense that ain't good

    I'm guessing that if we don't find a taker for him come trade deadline, he gets benched.

    I don't disagree with much of that other then I will say we need to make a decision on Harkless and I don't think that decision is reached (at least in my mind if not POR's). We almost know Henderson will be gone (one way or another) so what does it hurt to play a guy who might even get you a better draft pick so you can evaluate him? He has short poorly from deep (after a good start) but on limited attempts (so it isn't like he is chucking). That isn't his game. It is attacking. Stotts can surely find a player time that does that (you would think).

    Repeatedly going 0-1 will do that to your percentages. I'm not saying that he'll become a great shooter with steady attempts, but he's certainly not the sort of guy that'll hit shots cold off the bench.

    Both Henderson and Kaman will be gone at trade deadline. Neil has got something pretty big brewing.

    Henderson might draw some interest from Boston (multiple Draft picks) and OKC. Both have SG needs and Henderson would fit in well there.

    I doubt anyone would have traded Robinson for Vonleh though a couple years ago.

    Harkless/Kaman/Leonard/Alexander for Love...

    Sign Whiteside in the offseason...

    Dame/Frazier
    CJ/Crabbe
    Aminu/Henderson
    Love/Vonleh/Davis
    Whiteside/Plumlee/Davis


    Thats a contender in my opinion....
    I think Stotts could make Love work great next to an interior presence like Whiteside and a couple of kick ass offensive guards... Our D would be Whiteside, Davis, Aminu and Harkless leading the charge.

    Thaty some serious offense and Defense I think. Top ten in both, possibly top 5.

    Can NO pull something like that off? Did I offer enough for Love?
