What "young" guys are you refering to? Davis and Aminu are vets. Leonard and Harkless are in their 4th year. Plums is one of those guys who has been maximizing his game since high school. Do you *honestly* believe any of those guys is suddenly going to make some huge leap forward?
As for Noah....if the kid was inconsistent with moments of brilliance, I would get your point. Instead, he is very consistently "meh." If he played for another team, you wouldn't even know his name. He would just be another faceless journeyman.
As for why they need to be replaced for the team to improve - I am quite truthfully baffled by the question! You can't move forward and stand still and the same time.
Man... why do we only look at the surface? Dig bro... dig.
Okay to break your ramble down....
Davis has bounced around and has had 11 coaches in 4 years.. This is his first "Home" so yes I expect him to improve both in gelling with the team and improve his own shot. Aminu is the one guy who is probably almost at his peak, though I think he can improve his handles a bit if he works on it... again he is still YOUNG age wise.
Now here is where you lost me...Harkless has barely had real playing time in the NBA, so yes I expect him to get better. He is 22. He has never had any real consistency.
Plums has greart handles and ive seen significant improvement in his ft alone. I think he can improv his 12 foot jumper too., so yes.. more improvemant can be had.
Vonleh is as raw as raw gets... he has nothing but improvement to make and I see it happening and I see his confidence growing. No one said he would grow into an all star in one year. He had a moment of brilliance last night, but Im sure your blinders were on to that.
So now lets get down to the brass tacks.. The conflict of opinion isnt whether the team needs to improve. I think everyone member here believes we need to improve.
The conflict is who thinks we can improve within and who thinks we have reached our peak and need to replace to improve.
Honestly, I think we need a little of both, but in no way do I want to replace Noahs potential.. not now anyhow.
The problem I have and is frustrating me is that those that say we need to improve dont seem to think our current roster can improve... or have not made any statements of such.
You know what? Michael Jordan needed to improve his mid range shot in order to be better but the bulls didnt get rid of him. He developed it over the first 4 years of his career... then developed a 3 pt shot the last 6 years of his career.
Im quite baffled by your assumption that we cant improve anymore..
Your arguement has huge holes and is shallower than the kiddy pool. If your going to bring up descriptions of a players history, be accurate and complete. Don't just say he has been in the league 4 years so he is a vet. That's just foolish thinking....
A guy can ride the bench for a decade and never see the court... that makes him a vet???? come on.... be real with what your argueing or take that shit back to the crap station.
I will end this post reffering back to your first statement. Who is young on this team? Well considering we have the second youngest roster in the league and if you remove Kaman we have the youngest... I would say damn near everyone on the team.....
