Good move...actually Roco will get more 3 pt opportunities off the bench than with the starters...Nance has earned the start...maybe now we'll stop digging holes early in games for a change and Nance will help Nurk defensively a lot more than Roco has been. Nance is a smart player.
 
Roco is getting traded unless Cronin is completely incompetent, which I doubt. Expiring contracts with bird rights have value, regardless of how bad Roco has been. I would bet anything on him having a market. Someone will talk themselves into trading for him. Shit I’ve talked myself into trying to bring Harkless back and he’s been even worse.
 
Only reason he wasn’t benched before was to maintain the illusion that we weren’t trying to trade him. Now our new GM has basically said outright he’s on the block, so no need to maintain that illusion anymore.

The only thing RoCo gave over Nance was spacing but that spacing is all theoretical if he can’t actually hit shots. Nance moves the ball better, plays way better one on one defense, and rebounds better. This was a no brainer.

And gives 100x more effort
 
Hopefully with more minutes he'll start to shoot threes better.
 
Kinda crazy that an impending free agent would have trouble playing hard. Then again he already got paid, so maybe not.

As much as I would love to blame Olshey for this trade, I can’t. It’s on the player to give effort. I totally believe Billups’ words about pride were aimed primarily at Roco. This move just proves it. I’d be SHOCKED if he were still here after the deadline. Billups has probably already told Cronin to get this guy off the team.

posting a net rating for a lineup that has played a total of 28 possessions is pretty damn silly (Richman, Rasta, not you)

No way they are as good defensively as those 28 possessions. On the same note, no way they are as bad offensively. Either way, there is some obvious defensive improvements (theoretically) and offensive deficiencies with swapping the PFs.
 
This is a good move but wouldn't make much of a difference. CJ needs to be benched also as he allows a gazillion points per possesion on defense. Move him to the bench and let him play with both Roco and the ultimate defender, my man Tony Snell

I’m torn on this to be honest.
Not Roco being benched but the “what took so long” part.
It shows Chauncey is willing to let players try and play through a rough patch and won’t have a quick hook.

An interesting blend of holding players accountable while still maintaining trust and relationships with players.

That said, around the 20 game mark I think is when it should’ve been done.
