Blazers were a far better team then. Could have gone all the way that yeear had it not been for the wes Matthews injury
He's not long. His wingspan is within a half inch of his height....much less than Harkless, or Aminu. Good size though.
Hood is an oversized SG to me. I do think he can play with Dame and CJ, just not against everybody. Our bench needs a go to scorer. Hood can be that.
Thought I heard where they could trade for AD if they traded Kyrie before the deadline, other wise not until summer.
So here's how it breaks down. Guards: Dame, CJ, Curry, Simons, Trent Wings: Turner, Harkless, Aminu, Layman, Hood Bigs: Nurk, Zach, Leonard, Swanigan Everyone of our wings needs minutes. While only 2 of our guards and maybe 3 of our bigs deserve PT. Something needs to shake out. No way we are done.
Not going to disagree with you here. But still, very similar trades, and for the same purpose really.
Hood can also play the 2. So add another guard to your list. Also, Turner plays guard the majority of his minutes. Edit. Also Curry.
Guard vs. Wing is interesting. Guard means PG or Combo Guard (A PG/SG) when being compared to a wing. A wing means more of a big SG or SF type. Hood would be a wing in this case.
We had some very deep teams in the early 2000 when we had Sheed and playing time was given to those that gave us the best chance to win. I remember Stoudamire was benched for a period of time. Nobody is guaranteed playing time as it should be earned.
Honestly, the only two who don't deserve minutes are Simons and ET. We have a LOT of Good players. We just need 1 or 2 more VERY good players...
obviously guys can play multiple spots. I had trouble with ET, he plays PG on offense but can also guard Harden/Klay.
