He is definitely one of the most improved players in the league this year and is on the rise. Do yall see him continuing to get better or he is nearing his "peak"?

I think we should sell, sell, sell! Get what we can for him while he's hot because I dont see him lasting forever with this play....

Happy we are getting this out of him right now. He has definitely taken advantage of this opportunity.

Most people will agree with you.


But I would like him on this team. PG is not a position that you NEED your best player to play. He is a great complement to the other players we have.

The problem with "selling high" on him is getting a replacement who is as affordable and/or as good a compliment to our other players.

Vasquez is a good distributor and knows where he can take good shots from. He is also only going to cost $2m next year and get a QO of at least $3m in two seasons.


We've got a better shot with him than we do with some of the misfit toys that will be available at our price range.

What signs is he showing of slowing down? He's been our most consistent player on a great contract

Why do most hornet fans want to trade any body who is doing better than expected for another unknown?

Draft CJ McCollum and sell high on Gravy.

I say don't sell for all the reasons given. Plus, he's becoming a fan favorite, and that alone is reason to keep him around.

Cannot play defense at all. I admit he has improved, but he is not a championship type of point guard. Hell, a second or third stringer torched him last night.

Op, Yes. Unless one better falls into our laps why trade?

As far as trading Gravy, I'm not totally opposed, but the trade would have to improve the team A LOT. The guy is slow and not particularly athletic but he's a terrific player. Seriously, in spite of his limitations, who the hell do we bring in at PG? Really. Assuming everyone stays healthy (realizing there will be the occasional injury and a couple of games missed here and there), the 3 and 4/5 are where we need to focus on obtaining an elite or borderline elite player.

I like him, however he doesn't need to be shooting the ball as much as he does.
