Samuel Dalembert??? He could be a good option for a year or two if we get rid of Lopez.


I like him but he apparently has issues with his role as a defense-first center.

That got him benched in Milwaukee in favor of Larry Sanders this season.

Sons, peep this.


We played our boy Greivis Vasquez 34.4 MPG at PG this past season.

Assume we trade for Eric Bledsoe and play him 30+ minutes a night as our starting PG.

Bledsoe played 30+ minutes 8 times this season for a 35.9 MPG average. Below is his averages for those 8 games and where he would rank amongst 2013 NBA PGs:

14.0 PPG (15th)
6.4 APG (18th)
4.5 RPG (2nd)
1.9 SPG (5th)
1.3 BPG (1st)
84.6 FT%(9th)
40.6 FG%(30th)
40.0% 3P% (11th)

His PPG would put him in Dragic, Conley, Teague range.

His APG would put him in Curry, Lawson, Jennings, Lillard, Lowry range.

His RPG puts him in Westbrook's range.

His SPG puts him in Kemba, Westbrook, Ellis range.

His BPG already leads the league amongst PGs.

His FT% puts him in Irving, Parker, Lillard range.

His FG% is terrible. But it is better than Brandon Jennings.

His 3P% puts him in Irving, Mo Williams, Jack range.

Now, some will say 8 games is too small of a sample size. You could argue that he would not be able to duplicate those numbers over a full season. Or, you could argue that given ample and steady playing time would allow him to match or even improve those numbers. Remember, we are dealing with a 23 year old here. And we arent talking max money for a new contract.

I ask you, sons, how can you be disappoint with that?
