Keep or Go

lmao! with all the goes on your lists, you might as well kiss Lillard goodbye as he isn't going to want to go through a complete rebuild.

That could very well be the case! I do think with major changes Neil, Stotts and a bunch of players it will have Dame re-evaluating PTown.

 

[riverman]

Right now I keep Dame, Nurk as starters and Chief and Mo as bench players...if CJ comes off the bench instead of starting I keep him and have CJ Mo and Chief in the second unit.

A Max Player from the bench? there is no other option, CJ has to be tradet, the sooner the better

Neil just sits around and masturbates to his own reflection, and tells himself how great he is for building a roster that earned the 4th seed.

"Great shooters" haha. Great shooters are Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr, Larry Bird, Kyle Korver, Peja Stojakovic, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash, Jason Terry.

Lmao that this Iso chucker thinks he is a great shooter, if he would Shooting great, he wouldn't dribble dribble dribble dribble and then take a Bad contested shot all the time

You can probably add Lillard to this list, i'm sure he will make 2000 3s at the end of his Career

It take two or more teams to pull of a trade, but I would think the chances of a trade before deadline are pretty good. It may not be a block buster but hopefully one to better balance the roster.

 

[LayneStaley]

If any top 20 nba player is available at the deadline I say it’s time to take a chance and give whatever it takes outside of Dame, that means players and picks, to acquire him. We need a real second star to pair with Dame.

 

[Chris Craig]

It would be stupid to do so, but I'd rather waive and stretch ET's contract instead of attaching Collins to get rid of him.

I trade him with CJ and a pick to get someone good

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame is the only untouchable on this team. Nurk may be close but if you can get a real top player by including Nurk you have to give it a look. Everyone else is movable. I'm sick & tired of waiting around for players to develop.

STAY:

Damian Lillard: Next

Jusuf Nurkic: Potential to get better. Not used enough on some nights (coaching) but still needs to slow down and eliminate the rushed 'flip' shots.

Zach Collins: Shows glimpses of defensive impact and it looks like he 'should' be able to score. Too early to move on from.

Jake Layman: Athletic wing who can shoot? Through first 20 games, 55% from the field, 41% from '3'. Averaging 6.3 mpg since then with 5 DNP's.

Trent/Simons: Haven't seen anything from either of them but don't give up on young Draft picks who haven't played yet.


DON'T CARE:

Al Farouq Aminu: I'd keep him if he is an impact bench player but not as a starter.

Moe Harkless: A ton of talent who just doesn't show up often enough certainly as a starter. Not mentally tough enough off the bench.

Seth Curry: I like him off the bench and maybe with MeJ gone, he is a 'Stay'. Otherwise, we have SO MANY small guards....it's not a strength.

Wade Baldwin: He's really close to a 'Stay' for me because he brings the most defense of anyone in the back-court Very needed.

NEEDS TO GO:

Evan Turner: Early season Turner was actually good but that soon disappeared and has reverted back to who he has been since he got here.

Neil Olshey: The smugness never fit here and he hasn't been good enough to overlook it. He sequesters himself from local media as if they are lepers and the massive list of given away of assets for nothing is getting old.

Terry Stotts: Really nice guy (Mark Helfrich syndrome) who just doesn't seem like a Head Coach to me. Last in assists with such young legs and last in assists just doesn't seem like the best use of the talent he has. Time for a new approach.

CJ McCollum: A tremendous scoring talent who just doesn't seem to fit here. He needs his own team to run and being a #2 doesn't fit his game.

Meyers Leonard: Probably the best 'version' of Meyers since his rookie year....but still tough to take. But maybe he is finally figuring it out.

Caleb Swanigan: Tremendous story but should have never been drafted. Kuzma and Hart were taken within the next 5 picks. Complete miss.

Nik Stauskas: A 3-point specialist who isn't shooting well and does little else well either. Bad teams have let him go...should have been a sign.
