re: A Lesson in Value

Demps has repeated made confounding moves. Gentry is a dud as a coach. Trading all those draft picks away for the young vets. Signing Asik and Ajinca to somewhat large contracts just for them to be unable to find playing time. Overpaying for Moore, Hill, and now Holiday. What really gets on my nerve...
If they start something like 1-5 its time to show up to the Blender with bags on our heads and a "Fire Gentry/Dump Demps" Banner. Every year is the same story. This team is just not ready to compete. Gentry is literally the worst coach in the league by a country mile and the FO just doesn't get it. ...
I'm afraid that is just Jrue. The last few years he shot about the fewest free throws in the league among point guards. He tries to avoid contact instead of taking it to the basket aggressively. I'm sure he's been told this is a problem year after year. Don't expect it to change. ...
Defense was bad throughout except for AD's ability to contest shots at the rim. The biggest problem seemed to be getting lost in rotations and Boogie's refusal to come out on his man. The fact the team has plenty of solid individual defenders makes me believe they will figure it out. The beginni...
Hill may be overpaid right now by a few million dollars mostly because he became a free agent the year the cap exploded. That's not a big deal. The Pels are currently paying two reserve centers a total of 16 million to basically polish the bench. Hill provides solid defense and fits well into Erman'...

I'd love to see a small lineup with Chandler at the 4 and Boogie at the 5. ...
If the Pels don't do good enough to make Boogie sign an extension you might as well cash AD in for all those Boston picks. He won't be staying with a franchise that can't build around him. ...

Agree. Still no defense or rebounding. With the trade they lost a lot of depth. Dantoni teams do not do well in the playoffs. Never have and never will. ...
I'd be for it! He would be a 150% improvement over Gentry/Demps. The Pels could finally throw pace and space out the window and get someone that could run the team like they have the top two big men in the league. ...
They would have to clear a lot of cap space (assuming Jrue resigns), probably by attaching future numbers ones to some combination of Asik, Ajinca, Moore, or Hill. I would do it if the opportunity was there. The Pels badly need a legit wing. ...
I have been thinking for sometime that Evan Fournier would be a great trade target. He is young, a proven shooter, playmaker, and can play both the 2 and three. I think he is under contract for another 4 years at 17 million per. The Magic seriously need to hit reset and seem a little down on Fournie...
