I'm sure I'm the minority here on this 1; I agree w/ everything u said ^ w/ the exception of Turner. I think Turner will come close this season to justifying his contract.
Cap space a little bit sooner? A big man who shoots threes, like Alvin Gentry always dreamed of? I'm reaching here. Also even if they might've contemplated it before they played us, they saw how TRULY crap most of those players are first hand... So I guess we'd just have to hope that they did it out of the kindness of their hearts.
Vonleh was quite good when teamed with Nurkic last season and Collins is a good defensive big off the bench who can score a little inside and hit an outside shot. Meyers....well, Meyers. If Ed continues like this, we may have a glut up front. Nurkic, Davis, Collins and Swanigan can all contribute although Stotts loves his small ball where Aminue defends, rebounds and makes any of the other four look like offensive all-stars.
Thing is, if we did want to clear out with a trade, what kind of player would we target? Now Evan Turner appears to have turned into what he was in Boston (do-everything ball-handler and defender) where's our biggest hole? I guess I'd like another Turner who could also shoot 3s. I've never been wowed by Vonleh even when he looked decent last year. He just thinks too slow. Plus he'd be the selling point of any trade package really, for somebody who thought he still had potential. Does Indy have anybody we'd want (answer yes: Cory Joseph)? They might have some sentimental attachment to him from his college days.
