Ibaka and Marvin are pretty similar at this point in their careers - Ibaka's the much better rim protector though.. we need to collect talent at this point.. unless the Allstar break gives our team a boost of energy- we are sunk.. our bench is horrible.. without Kemba or Batum on the court - we loose horrid.. Sessions has been a big disappointment to me.. Frank has surprisingly taken a step back.. it's just all been bad.. Belinelli has been the only guy that I would consider an asset outside of our starting 5..

Hibbert, Sessions, Frank, Lamb, Hawes - ship em all out..

 

Sadly, we will be stuck looking to play third wheel in the Melo deal or the Butler deal.. without gaining anything real and pick up the scraps while the bigger markets flourish..

 

I'm just a bowl full-o sunshine this morning, aren't I..

Yea, but you're also realistic.

If we can hold on to Frank I'd prefer that because I do believe that offensively, he has the skill set to be successful. I'm willing to chalk it up to a Sophomore slump and hope he gets in a rhythm towards the end of the season and into next year. That being said, if dealing Frank nets us an upgrade of some sort I'm ok with it.

Ibaka would be a solid addition. We are lacking defense right now especially our second unit. Don't know what the magic are asking but I would be willing to trade Frank for Ibaka if he's willing to resign for a reasonable deal. 

Send them Frank and Hawes/Hibbert maybe toss in a second round pick.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
