Aren't we losing Henderson? We can't assume we'll repeat last season's success by standing pat. That was pretty remarkable, and we had good luck with health. But then again, it's possible we see significant improvement in... well, Vonleh, I guess.
If wade somehow got to cleveland..... holy shit. They would be my 2nd favorite team next year just because id want to see them own golden state.
At this point we don't have to lose Henderson unless we need his Cap hold gone to sign someone. He is an UFA and aparently Portland is interested in bringing him back.
Moving pieces would have to be involved (maybe trading Kevin Love for Millsap, that saves a little money, then find teams willing to take Shumpert and Frye), maybe Wade could agree to a 2/36 with them.
I would be okay with taking a flyer on Dewayne Dedmon at this point. Similar skillset to Biyombo for a lot less money.
Seth Curry goes to DAL. They can actually now run a lineup with Curry-Barnes-Bogut. Just need Gerald Green and Tristan Thompson to recreate the lineup. smh
I'd be excited about him. He's fluid enough you could play him with Leonard. Basically he'd stay in the most mixing it up and occasional elbow pick n rolls on offense while Meyers played the pick n pop game at the 3 point line on the opposite side. On defense Dedmon could play the quicker of the 2 bigs and it wouldn't hurt as much for him to get drawn to the perimeter, which would probably mitigate some of his lack of discipline getting baited into help defense anyways. (and freeing him up to crash D rebounds while Meyers boxed out) I actually think adding Turner can make our offense hum this year, as it should mean less Aminu handling the ball and we'll always have two ball handlers on the court, so Plumlee becomes far less valuable. Sure hoping we find a way to deal him.
How about: Love to Boston Frye and Amir Johnson to Portland Aminu to Cleveland Boston could give us and Cleveland each a pick. Weird spot for Boston and Cleveland to help each other, but I don't think we should mind helping eastern teams at all. If the pick is decent that's what we're in it for.
Dedmon makes too much sense, it will never happen. Cheap shot blocking and rebounding from a legit 7 footer that can box out? Neil is working the phones seeing if we can sign Lance Stephenson or some insane move.
Terrence is just awful on D. You could get a D leaguer that would have the same impact. When you can't crack the Rocket rotation, you are straight garbage.
