This is ridiculous. Chase is not too big or too slow to play backup 2 guard. There was a time when our backup 2 was Jon Barry for goodness sakes. A wing is a wing is a wing.
Already an indication, Celtic's will resign Tony Allen and/or Marquis Daniels? Both are UFA and the kind of SG I would like to see on our roster, behind Martin!
I said almost, and did exaggerate by saying 8 mins for the back up, but my point stands....no need to overpay a back up to pick up less than 10 mins. Martin doesnt have a chronic injury...he has been chornically injured, there's a difference. Different from yao as well. You cant form a team assuming injury, even if a player is hurt often. No one really plans that way. Yes, you want solid back ups, but you're overall plan is to go with your top 5 and that's who you expect to have for the season. If the injury thing is too much for you to overcome and you start planning ahead for it, then you've screwed up already. The best thing to do is get rid of those guys... Ive said before that we either get rid of yao or keep planning around him. We cant keep him AND plan in anticipation of an extended injury. You're not going to win a championship that way because it affects your team as whole. You waste too much time and resources on back ups than your starters or backs up on much weaker spots. Plan for small bump on the road and JT can handle that.
Is there even a such thing as a SG in Adelmans offense? I think you are either a wing, a post, and the guy who brings the ball upcourt.... With that said we are fine at the wing position If Morey upgrades the position then thats awesome but im fine with a wing rotation of martin/ariza/taylor battier/Cbud/Harris Depending on matchups: defensive wing set Ariza/Battier offensive wing set Martin/Cbud small wing set Brooks/Martin BIG wing set Battier/Patterson 12man wing set Tayor/Harris
i just forsee battier getting moved. I like his leadership and he was our leading blocks guy last year, but he might be easier to move this year.
Battier and Chase. Thats two guys. Oine of them is the backup and not a need area. We have no needs except a backup to Yao or an upgrade at one spot.
why tha hell we need backup SG, we didn't trade for Bosh so our backup SG would be Chase and battier would be backing up Trevor...!!
Ronnie Brewer. hustles, plays defense, and scores efficiently. Most importantly, he can fill in the starting 2 spot when kevin martin breaks his leg again.
I write it in every other thread.... Jarvis Hayes. It would be an undercover Morey-type of move. The guy can shoot and defend. He doesn't get the press because he played in NJ. He'll take a small contract, too.
If possible, I would upgrade the position. JT might prove worthy, but he hasn't yet. Besides, if we pick somebody up, we can still make a trade before the deadline.
I seriously doubt Boston lets Tony Allen go now... he's a really good defender, and they'll need him to possibly help guard D-Wade if they play the Heat in the playoffs.
