I want to upgrade Qpon drastically, and use him as trade bait to make that upgrade


So that lost me. Who's giving up a drastically better version of QPon for QPon + whatever else the Pels could offer? Who's the target? DeMarre Carroll? Pondexter compares favorably, statistically, to Carroll through their first 5 seasons. Why move Pondexter, perhaps the next Carroll, with 3 years and only $11M on his contract still to go?

I'm curious why Cunningham is the hill to die on. He's a good vet and a solid 8th or 9th man. He becomes league average from 3 and things get very interesting, but I'm not sure how he's better than or all that different from a properly deployed Aminu, whom many Pels fans believes is the worst player ever.

I really like Qpon and Cunningham. But the roster has to improve long term. I'm not as knowledgable on cap issues as some, nor do I closely study stats/metrics (I barely have time to do my job and drink), but we have to be willing to let either or both go for value.

Of course. Anyone on the roster, except Davis, can be upgraded. Doesn't mean they should be moved.

Harrison Barnes
that's who I want, and I think GSW would be interested in Ryno to play the 5 when they go small, but we'd probably need to take on David Lee's big contract And add more players.

They are probably more interested in trading Iggy though, who I would also take.

Cunningham plays like it's his last game every game. He's always creating extra possessions, he rarely does something where you say, God he's terrible even for a backup, he can hit a jumper, runs the floor well, blocks shots. Hes just a guy that every team needs on there bench. He's our one guy I feel confident would retaliate when some jackass does something to AD.

Thanks.

Will be interesting to see how GS handles the cap over the coming years. And I agree on Cunningham. He's a pro. I just wish he would step back 2 feet and turn some of those 2s into 3s. Very poor man's Draymond Green potential if that happens.
