2012 NBA Off-Season

[Pugz]

who is starting at the five while dwight is out though?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Slide Gasol to C and Jamison at PF? Long ways away but that's my guess.

 

[Pugz]

id rather give hill a chance. but thats my guess with what they do too

 

[Teagz]

Or Hill maybe if they want to bring Jamison off the bench.

Too far away to tell though.

 

[Mexi]

I would do Pau and Jordan Hill
let Jamison score off the bench. give Nash a PNR guy and finisher who does the dirty work. really like JHill

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I like Jordan Hill better as an energy guy off the bench though personally.

 

[Mexi]

Jordan really impressed me this past season. he fits Pau pretty nicely and he's a better option with Nash imo

 

[elcheato]

Jamison is the worst, even in a bench role

 

[Mexi]

you dont like 40% shooters? lol

not being the main guy and playing less minutes is gonna help him

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lakers will have a 85M dollar tax payment in 2013...

 

[ZigZag]

You get what I'm saying though lol. Heck, just last year I want to say Gallo played about 20% of his minutes at the four.

A lineup of Lawson, Iggy, Chandler, Gallo, McGee? That's a lineup that can do a lot of things for you.

Faried needs to fit in as well...

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Like I said, there's plenty of minutes to go around.

 

[ZigZag]

Like I said, there's plenty of minutes to go around.

There's enough minutes if Iggy only plays the 2, and no one else gets minutes at 2, 3 or 4.

144 minutes total at 2, 3, and 4. Iggy plays 36, Gallo 30, Dub C 30, Faried 30 = 116. That leaves 28 minutes to split between Corey Brewer, Anthony Randolph, Evan Fournier, Jordan Hamilton, and Quincy Miller. Corey Brewer has never played a season under 20 minutes a game.

You're ignoring logic, man, and speaking in absolutes. It's more than reasonable to be concerned when a team acquires a 3rd player at their strongest position.

Like I've been saying this whole time, I'm not going to deem this a good trade until I see it work out or they make other moves.

 

[Pugz]

to be fair karl has already said for now anthony randolph will likely be the odd man out. the rookies wont get much time either. outside of iggy/gallo/dub/faried the rest of the player will probably get minutes on a game-to-game basis.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Gallo is on my NBA man crush list

Is he #6 after:

1. James Harden
2. James Harden
3. James Harden
4. James Harden
5. James Harden

I'm not ignoring logic. Logic says, there are plenty of minutes to go around. Corey Brewer always getting 20 minutes per game is irrelevant, Karl will put the best players on the floor. They traded away Al Harrington who averaged 28 minutes per game, they traded Arron Afflalo who averaged 34 minutes per game last year. They replaced him with a guy who will be a fantastic fit next to Gallo, and they also hugely upgraded their teams biggest downfall, perimeter defense. Karl will play the best guys, stop trying to make it more complicated then that. You can peg any of those guys as a SG or SF, but they'll all see time at multiple positions, that's just where the league is headed.

Right now their wing players are Iggy, Gallo, Chandler, Brewer, Fournier, Hamilton, and Miller. You may as well just throw out those last three, because they weren't getting meaningful minutes before the trade and they won't get it after. That leaves Iggy, Gallo, Chandler, and Brewer. All guys that are very versatile and can play multiple positions. There are plenty of minutes to go around.

 

[Pugz]

lets just agree that its a good problem to have for denver lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Sure thing lol

Not to mention Brewer doesn't even have a contract after this season and Hamilton has a team option.

 

[Mexi]

Is he #6 after:

1. James Harden
2. James Harden
3. James Harden
4. James Harden
5. James Harden

????

Harden, steph curry, gallo, tony allen, lou will, demarcus and paul george are probably the main guys. no particular order

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Harden is definitely #1 lmao.
