I know he's a notorious slow starter but I have a good feeling that he's going to play at the high level he's playing at now early next season since Herb has helped him understand his role and importance to the team in the post and taking the ball to the basket. He's never had this good a stretch of shooting what 65%? 20pts & 6rebs.

and if he doesn't then we trade him at the deadline or just simply let his contract expire and start Ariza or Rose who would easily give you 12 & 7 and great defense.

I think that pretty much takes care of the SF position. And we can focus on drafting a SG who can play a little defense and shoot or score lights out like Gerald Green or McCants or a free agent like Bobby Simmons. And a center like Petro, Frye or Steven Hunter. Or just go for a great frontcourt player like Chris Taft and draft a SG or Center later on.

I think we can have a Seattle like turnaround next year like someone here said(I forgot who)if we draft wisely with what we already have in place. And it will only get better with the expiring contracts especially Houston's--the ultimate icing on the cake!

How? I'd love for that to happen, but I'm afraid it's not possible.

LOL! I didn't even catch that. I assume he meant "OR" let the contract expire

LOL fixed!

TT isnt that good. He is unreliable. We have to replace him.

well thats what I fell deep down inside but with the moves I suggested we wouldn't be relying on him as much if we draft wisely. So it won't be the end of the world if he stinks it up in the 1st half like he did this year to a lesser extent.

the time to trade TT is at the trade deadline next season...hopefully by then he'll have upped his trade value somewhat...teams will be looking to dump contracts then, & you can get best value for TT then.
