A blessing in disguise if that's code for trading JR.

I might be in the minority but i don't want JR traded. The last month or two of last season he was 100% healthy and he played really well. Coming off knee surgery, the 5 game suspension, and eventually the benchings by Sn his struggles were to be expected.

unless we could somehow package jr for a big name we might as well keep him. good jr is practically a star in this league, its bad jr that drives us crazy

I've been fortunate to see Jeet play in person. I need to catch him just one more time before he's gone.

i agree. we need to keep the SG core of shump, thjr, and jr. i think we should trade ellington and brown. neither of them do anything thatll really benefit us. shump can sometimes play D, thjr will hit the 3, and jr can get buckets if hes focused. them and early as a back up to melo is all we need at the 2/3. not like we'll have enough minutes to give anybody else anyway. having a frontcourt of bargs, stat, dalembert, and cole isnt very intimidating. we're gonna get killed in the post if we dont add more trees that can actually defend/rebound.

prigs and calderon will be able to mentor larkin, so all we really need is a solid back up center. im 50/50 on cole. he can rebound, but idk if i'd let him play 30 min per night.

We do not need JR Smith.
I will not accept that.
There's somebody else out there that's more consistent and just as serviceable. Phil just gotta figure out a way to attain that player.
I'd much rather ride out with THJR and see him earn his stripes and go through all his growing pains with starter's minutes. That scenario benefits us much more. Put Shump on the trading block early. Son gonna be the poor poor man's Bruce Bowen until he proves otherwise.
The last month or two of last season was garbage time though.

Praying amare can ball out this year. If he can put up his 18-20 and 6 rebs we could be in great shape.
Hope that injury bug that got us at the beginning of last season doesnt rear its head.

Gets me everytime, it's like the hoop threw the ball at him in disgust once he landed.

In my opinion, and it is just strictly my opinion, to me it never seemed as if Earl was about championship life. Like, he was content to get in the league and stay, and that's cool, even in Denver he just seemed happy to be there whereas his teammates seemed to take it more seriously and they really wanted to win. Even now, he can play and has talent, but he goes about it in the most unprofessional way. Say what you want about other guys on the team, but you can't say they don't work hard and take this seriously from Melo, STAT, THJr, even the younger newer guys, so if he got traded it wouldn't upset me one way or the other. We could win with him and all, but we can win without him. I will say when he is on he is on, but when he is off his whole game is off. Sorry about my semi-thesis and I know I'll get roasted but it is just my opinion.
