    Imagine if Chauncey benched him.

    I think neither is true. Why would “WE” think he is a franchise player? And I think CB is the perfect coach for us.

    I get that you are not serious, because obviously, a buyout with 3 years left would hurt the team.

    We think a player should be happy no matter what when he is making all that money, but most vets in their prime are not happy with tanking. This year, it is clear that the goal is to win. Before, as he alluded to, that message was not clear. We all said the same. So we will see how he acts with Dame and Jrue there. He fills a need on this team. I am not against trading him, but I sure as hell would not reward him by buying him out. I think we will see a different player this year.

    I would say if you did a poll on here Sharpe would easily be considered our best shot at being the franchise player on the current roster. If he’s not even breaking the starting lineup then he’s most likely not the franchise player since he’s not even good enough after 3 years to be a starter on the current roster. Now if Sharpe is a franchise player then he should be starting and CB is playing to the vets just because the are vets.

    I can’t think of to many franchise players who didn’t start by their 3rd year[/QUOTE]

    I imagine he'd prefer it were just a paragraph.

    I used to think that about Sharpe, but now, I think it clearly is Deni.

    If Sharpe doesn't show us consistency and improvement, I think we should at least see what packages he can get on the market around the trade deadline. Especially with his contract coming up.

    Might as well make you a moderator. That way nobody could put you on ignore and we would all see the red flags.

    I agree. This bad rap Grant gets just doesn’t add up. He can guard 1-4 on the court. He can hit a 3 at will. He can create his own shot. He is a long very good defender that is seldom injured.
    His contract is not bad like many on here continue to say.
    If a team comes after him in trade then consider it. Until then play him and play to win.

    Well, he shot 37% from the field, one of the worst on the team.
    He is one of the worst rebounders for his height in the league, maybe even all time. Hence the joke someone made about him being a 2G.

    Richmond thinks he'll start, because of pouty reasons.
