He is a guard, not a SF. We have 5 guards on the roster in Holiday/Frazier/Galloway/Moore/Hield. And that's not counting QPon who if healthy I could see starting at SG. Maybe the return on trading Tyreke is bad enough that if he is healthy they keep him and find a way to work him into the rotation when he comes back, but they drafted/signed 4 guards this offseason. It seems like the team is moving on.


We have 5 guards and yet he is better than all of them. Like someone said before all these guard are more of insurance. Reke, Q, and Jrue have all missed significant time and Yield is a rookie who doesn't look ready.

I have no problem playing Tyreke, I thought he was going to flourish in a system where the floor was spread out. A Tyreke/AD P&R with 3 shooters should be pretty effective. But that's not how Gentry wants to play.

Houston's about to go through the same thing with Harden and D'Antoni. Harden's scoring has made Houston a top 10 offense, and now D'Antoni wants him to "give it up to get it back" and average 5-6 more assists per game which seems like it'd mean taking 5-8 fewer shots? I'm not trying to attract the rocketards, just pointing out that D'Antoni wants the All NBA version of Tyreke to play differently. The way Tyreke plays is not the way Gentry wants him to play. He doesn't fit the scheme, they seem to want to move on.

Brett Dawson and Scott Kushner released a pretty telling podcast today. Tyreke apparently doesn't want to come off the bench, and only wants to play point guard. And the Pelicans are having trouble moving him because some teams think Tyreke will never play in the NBA again
