how is Grant overhyped? Dude was best P&R guard in college and while he had his struggles last year and his #s don't impress he there is enough. He will be a good player for many years. All star? Middle rotation? Role player? Time will tell but Grant will be nice piece for a long time. He struggled as a rookie PG. He will be fine

If this was a better draft, I'd trade RoLo for a package that included a first. But it may not be a good enough draft to do that. And I'd trade him because his deal and skillset are attractive to the market and it's time to build a new core around KP, and RoLo won't be part of that.

Need to have some consistency here. +1 Its been an experience reading all these trade scenarios. Fans have been clamoring for years for a frontcourt that can match up with some of the best big man tandems in the league. We have that now. This team needs a playoff proven PG who has something left in the tank (on a short term) deal while Grant develops, and as already mentioned, some depth in the frontcourt. On to the next one... |

If we keep Rolo, Cool. If we trade him for youth, Cool. I've seen too many smoke screens to get excited about a rumor based on another rumor.
Phil does his GM stuff close to his chest. I was in here two weeks ago convinced the coach would be vogel or Blatt, about a month ago that it could be Rambis, and had no real idea Fisher was going to be fired until it was announced. I am in wait and see more and I think its the smartest move based on what we've seen from phil. The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Also, I it s nice to have a coach talking like a coach. Man this Hornacek hire has me so freakin pumped! It changes everything, including the type of players we can go after and that will want to come here. There is so much activity around this team right now and how often is that the case with a team with ZERO PICKS. I think JH is the perfect coach for our guard situation. He is like MDA in the way he empowers his guards and our current guards need that. |
