As of right now we have 6 players that are designated Power forwards. It would be hard to believe that we keep all of these players so I was wondering - what will become of Royce White, Luis Scola, Jon Leuer, Patrick Patterson, Terrence Jones, and Furkan Aldemir? Will we trade these guys for draft picks, other players, or will we start the season with all 6 of these guys? (How our offseason has been going, the latter is a possibility) I'm hoping we trade for draft picks and completely rebuild. What do all of you think?
New lineup... PG - Play a PF SG - Play Lamb SF - Play a PF PF - Play a PF C - Play a PF sixth man - PLAY A PF
Scola will start Patterson will back him up. Motie and Furkan wont come over the NBA this year. Jones will go to the D League, White will play the 3 and Leuer will by a deep bench guy.
The way things have been going, we'll probably cut half of them and lose the value of the picks for nothing.
You forgot Motie, Brockman, and Morris. Don't worry though guys. I know we are low on pfs but Camby and Parsons have the ability to play pf as well!!
Yes, replace him with Motie who I forgot to add. Also I forgot Brockman but when I looked at the roster he wasn't listed on it. Also, looking at the results, we look very optimistic haha
It is indeed a problem. If you are wanting to compete you keep Scola and Patterson. If you want a youth movement then you go DMo/Patterson or Jones. I think Leuer can play backup Center. White will play small forward which then gives us a backlog at SF.... It is obvious trades have to be made. PG - No trade needed: Lowry/Livingston/Fortson (good balance of starter/backup/bench rider) SG - No trade needed: Martin/Lamb (good balance, even if Martin's defense sucks) SF - Who to trade: Parsons/Morris/White PF - Who to trade: Scola/Patterson/DMo/Jones C - Need to fill: (Asik)/(Camby?)/Leuer
Have Aldemir stay overseas, keep Patterson, White, Jones, cut Leuer, and trade Scola. There, that was easy.
trade scola, keep jones, d-mo, morris, maybe leur, and white pg: lowry/machado sg:lamb/? sfarsons/white pf:morris/patterson c:d-mo/jones/luer
Its not as bas as it seems. The way I see it it we have 4 PFs that will need playing time next year. Scola, White, Jones, and Motiejunas. Morris is a 3, Brockman and Leuer arent gonna sniff the floor, and Scola will probably be traded...
Trade Scola and one of Patterson/Morris. Work on White's jumper, and he has all the skills to be an SF nightmare. Jones is versatile and has the size to play multiple positions. Lowry-Machado Lamb - ?? Parsons - White - Jones Patterson - Motiejunas - Jones Asik - Motiejunas
Morey's solution to the power forward problem is simple, he'll call half of them small forwards whether they can play there or not.
