If You Are Cho: Does Hendo Stay?

Not if YOU were the GM, but if you were Cho... Although, how many of us could actually claim to know thd mind of the mad genius that is Rich Cho? None. That being said, how does Hendo fit here now? As others have said, he does indeed have value coming off the bench, but would he be willing to accept that role? I don't think he would... And it's pretty much that scenario is a guarantee because money dictates everything else in the NBA and Lance is the highest paid guard on the roster now. So what happens from here?

I know everyone wants to ditch him but I like the idea of having him come off the bench.  Depth is never a bad thing and he's still a decent player.   But yeah you're right, I don't know if he'll accept it, but he may have no choice.  He seems like a good guy so maybe he'll just take it with stride and just play hard to find a new home.

I think you keep him.

 

PJ is a complete unknown right now as a backup

Boozer > Henderson

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

We don't have boozer yet. If we do get boozer I assume we can still keep Hendo. Everyone thinks PJ can replace Hendo already but we don't even know what to expect from him in the NBA yet. We do have Neal as well. I know Hendo could play the SF spot, I don't know if Lance can play SF but I assume he can. I say keep Hendo at least until midseason to see how our team works out and you never know when injuries or a suspension could happen.

Hendo is worthless off the bench. 

 

Bench players need to be able to come in a put up points fast. 

 

That is not Hendo's game.

I could replace Henderson offensively. 90% of his offense is bricking fade away jump shots or stuffing himself at the rim. I can do that. His defense isn't needed with Stephenson & MKG.

Trade him & you can make a bid for Boozer that nobody else will match. He'd flourish here as the 3/4 option behind Jefferson, Stephenson, & Kemba.

Don't underestimate the ability to prevent the other team's bench from scoring as well.  Henderson may be better when he has less pressure on his back and can come in and contribute.

We will need defense on the bench as well. If we need offense then we can put Neal out. Hendo will be going up against other teams back ups which means less pressure on him.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
