I still don't see why we have to drop anyone.

All I am saying is if we did, Neal would both be the easiest to trade with a manageable salary and it being an expiring contract.

I also think he would be most likely to get buried on the bench

Again. Thanks, Houston.

Isn't it beautiful when things come full circle?

The Rockets tried to gouge us for that bum Asik last season and then traded him for peanuts to NOP. then they gambled by letting Parsons test the market. He signs elsewhere, they end up downgrading for an older Ariza, AND by letting the Mavs sign Parsons, enabled us to get the best remaining player in FA signed to a sweetheart of a deal.

I agree! I think we should keep our depth UNLESS we can upgrade considerably but I wouldn't mind keeping the roster. Let's be honest, Neal & Hendo are two different players and both could be valuable. 

 

Im just excited that for the first time we have 2 first round draft picks that we can develop and won't be rushed into the lineup.

This is just a crazy good, young group that we have created to go with Big Al. 

Noah - 18 

MKG - 20

Zeller - 21

PJ - 21 

Biz - 21 

Lance -23

Kemba - 24

Taylor - 25

 

So right now our Big 3 is Big Al, Kemba, Lance. We hope one or two can develop between MKG, Zeller, Biz, PJ, Noah and we got the Big 5! :)

I'm not sure how I feel we should approach the depth situation at SG now. For so long, we have lacked scorers and outside shooters. Now we have Lance, Neal, and PJ all at the two guard. Hendo provides great D but isn't all that efficient offensively. So, do we keep all four guys or move one? Then do you risk not having enough scoring or giving up a great defender?

PJ goes to the D-league if nobody is moved. 

 

Neal is the easiest to move bc he's an expiring but he is our outside threat so I doubt they do this. 

 

Hendo is the fan fav to be moved but I see him being our 6th man off the bench bc I don't think we can move his contract. 

 

2nd Unit

PG- Roberts

SG- Hendo/Neal

SF- Taylor/Hendo (wouldn't be surprised to see him and Neal at the same time)

PF - Zeller/Vonleh 

C- Biz

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
