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

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
