He targeted Schved and actually used a Trade Exception to get him so it wasn't just some dumb luck thing where he got him in the deal just to make the numbers work. He didn't have to trade for Schved in order to make the Prigs trade. That was an extra move.

Then on top of that you see how Schved performed and he clearly did fit as Phil had hoped. I think maybe Phil is hoping that Schved won't draw a lot of interest but that may not be realistic. Who knows what Schved's value is around the league. My guess is that it's not too much to pay the guy his $4 mil.

with the WORST PG in the NBA signed and no frontcourt players under contract as well--we are not going to have the latitude to fiddle around. Schveyd has earned a 2-3 years 8-15mm deal(4-5mm per). If we are cheap and he moves elsewhere we are simply at stage 1 with another position.

If we actually go into next year with Jose C as our PG we will lose 50 games++ We bring back Shveyd--we find a couple of other taller PGs who can actually defend and we allocate at other positions. By cutting Calerdon we can use 4.3mm towards putting together a new PG tandem.

I fully understand there are ?? with Schveyd--but we also have seen his upside and he can stabilize the position for the short term.

I'd have no problem with Schved starting if we were unable to find someone significantly better. You have to remember that we should be increasing the starting talent and in that case Schved will be among a higher level of talent which will make his game more impactful. He played better than some tend to realize.

As a result, teammates have been left with better looks. Again via NBA.com, while Shved was suiting up for New York from Feb. 22 through Mar. 22, Cleanthony Early's field-goal clip with Shved on the floor is roughly 25 percent higher than with him off. Cole Aldrich's rises by 23 percent, Jason Smith's is nine percent higher and Shane Larkin's sees an eight-percent increase.

Hes been out and will be out for the year.

I agree he did really bring his game to the next level and with better players to pass The ball to shved could be a slight triple double threat from night to night the guy is a 6'6 pg who plays like penny pre injury ... This guy is a must have for next year

Offer the QO and nothing more. i agree that QO will clog up precious space though.

See I'm ignorant when it comes to the cap. So we can decline the option and offer a QO? What would the QO be?

if the team doesnt offer the QO, he'll be an unrestricted free agent. I can';t remember what his QO would be, but I think it's above 4 mil, a little above. I like him as a player, not sure if Phil clogs cap space into him though. We need alot of players imo.
