keep or not

The contracts of T.J. Ford, Solomon Jones, Jamaal Tinsley, Jeff Foster, Mike Dunleavy and Josh McRoberts all expire, shedding 33 million against the cap, so lets see what we can do. The core group that is left is young and got a chance. We need to build a better bench, so for me I like Posey vet and McRoberts he is young – those two bring something off the bench the rest would be gone either for age or injury problems. Trade Rush and Lance and make some pick ups in free agent market. So the only players I would keep is Hans, Big Roy, Granger, Collison, George, Jones, and Posey for a vet that plays good D and McRoberts, so keep 8 and find the rest in trades or free agents and draft. If we can find a good power forward with Roy move Hans to small forward with Granger and Collison out back. That would leave Posey for small side McRoberts power and Jones for shooting guard. Good core now find some pieces power forward and a young athletic point guard.

How about

You give examples on possible trades that could be made by moving those pieces?

And move Hans to the 3? Not a chance, he isnt fast enough in the least bit

Nope - Granger is too slow to guard the 2 also!

Trading Stephenson

I think right now its too early to get rid of stephenson. He has never been convicted of anything, had some embarrassing moments on the internet and has been accused of being a locker room distraction. But we can not deny the kid has talent and upside. We all saw it in the summer league same with paul and mcroberts. Plus Bird has a lot of high hope and praise for him (and so do a lot of people on this sight all of a sudden too [on Bird]). Plus he’s got a guaranteed contact with us anyways.

LET THE HATERS HATE.
