Now, here's the problem I have if we settle for just trading for a rotational player like Neal...

Why not just play Ben Gordon? Lol.

I've heard he has an illness that the team isn't disclosing. Also don't think his knee will be 100% this season. Age makes those knee injures hard to recover from.

In all seriousness though, that is wild. I hadn't heard that. I wonder what it is, and if he plans on playing after this season.

He's been sick since January and I keep hearing he's out with an illness. The problem before that was his knee slowed him down. Not sure If he really sick or what.

At this point I hope they just stay put and try to make the playoffs with the team they have.

 

It's one thing to try and get a Greg Monroe or Aaron Afflalo, but all the Evan Turner and now Gary Neal talk makes me think they should just take their chances with the draft and free agency.  Even if they make the playoffs there is still the Pistons pick and even Portlands pick on top of having enough to offer a big contract to a free agent if they want.

 

This!

 

If the FO is that stupid to trade away one of our pick for Gary Neal, they should all die. I'm sorry. I cannot take anymore stupidity from this franchise. Dont make some stupid dumb move just bc you feel that you have to.

Im with you on Bass. I can live without Bass and Young. I want to be elite, not mediocre.

This team is quite a bit away from elite. Would need to get rid of Hendo and replace him with a 20ppg player capable of hitting 3's and adding a better stretch 4. Then the bench would need to be improved quite a bit.

Even then you're not elite, just a top 3 east team.

That depends if their ceiling is being an undersized defensive-minded two guard with limited offensive ability. In that case, at least then be within sight of it already.

 

You do realize you're talking about Jimmer and Thornton

Which neither are even in the same ball park as Hendo.

 

But I guess having undersize 2 guards that don't score as much as the 1 we already have is a good idea.

If we are going to go for it this year check out this trade we should do. Trade Mkg, Sessions, Henderson, and a 1st for Rudy Gay and Jimmer Fredette. Then trade Ben Gordon and a second for Eric Gordon. Just run the old suns offense and shoot them out of the gym.

Starting lineup

Zeller

Al

Rudy

Gordon

Kemba/Jimmer

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean, but there is ample evidence that exists currently in the NFL and historically that if you have a talented or moderately talented team then one of the biggest upgrades you can make is at QB. It yields the biggest returns. I don't think even Prime Greg Olsen is going to make Bryce suddenly look like a stud QB. We have invested immense amounts of money on the OL and tremendous amounts of draft resources on WR's. And have added an additional extremely capable RB. At some point, the main problem is Bryce. We are at that point.  That being said, we don't need to go "Full Bryce" again and sell the farm to upgrade at QB. Be intelligent and patient. Try to get better by whatever means become available WHILE continuing to make the roster better. At the bare minimum, you slowly build an upper half of the NFL talented roster that is at least a potential draw for some free agent QB's. IMO, Bryce is clearly not the answer. I don't think anyone in our organization thinks that way but if they do, it's not the end of the world. Throw as many reasonable darts as you can through free agency and the draft until either you get a bullseye or a top 10-15 option becomes available in free agency.

      I think the best way to make Bryce better is to make everyone around him better.  This is why I advocate for a stud (top 5, eventually) TE.  I mean, when we have been a good franchise, we have had a stud TE (Walls, Olsen) and ILB (Beason, Mills, Morgan, Luke, etc) so it is in our DNA.  Expect us to address these areas this year.  (An Olsen or Walls would help Bryce a lot).  In terms of productivity, I think we are going to work with XL for one more season and ride the TMac / Coker momentum.  Where else could we find a position to improve productivity?  TE.  A position that caters to Bryce's style and shortcomings, a stud TE gives him another weapon he has not had. The Panthers run a lot of 2-TE sets (I have seen 3) and they have a blocker (Tremble) who is great in the run game, a balanced TE (Evans), and Sanders is supposed to be the pass-catching TE. He had 340 yards last season and he has about 170 this year.  If we are going to play around with XL for another season, it only makes up to add to Bryce's weapons in a way that does not put XL on the bench, basically ending his development. It makes sense to bring in a pass-catching dawg.  The way the offense is designed, I see carrying 4, but its not ideal. Having said that, I mentioned Oregon's Sadiq in another thread, but I am starting to warm up to Vanderbilt's Stowers and, in the Olsen/Walls mold, I kinda like Endries from Texas.  Of course, Stowers is probably going in round 2 and Endries in 3 or later. I still say, 5 months before the draft, that I would not be surprised if we take a TE very early.
