Impressive Jameer: 4-2 with him healthy. Assists all over the place and timely scoring. Glen: Knows his role, starting to play much more efficiently. Mo: Defense and rebounding. Has an offensive game that can be developed into something terrifying. Disappointing AA on defense Goose Vaughn - stop playing McRoberts, PLEASE

There are only two scenarios I see Redick being traded. 1) Situation where we get multiple unprotected picks. Then we do what Houston did, try to stockpile and make a good move. 2) Way Afflalo was dealt. Multi-team trade where a tier 2 star is involved and you need a 3rd team to offer managable contracts. Because who is going to take him? A winning team with worthless draft picks? Not worth our time or a team in the same position as us?

4-2 when Jameer plays this year.

Harkless needs more minutes. All of the rookies do. I want to see Jones get McRoberts minutes.... or see Josh play with a pair because he's got skills.

I would take Gortat back if it meant they take Afflalo. One meh contract for another. JJ's expiring though? I wouldn't consider it. I really just want Afflalo moved. His defense is incredibly overrated and he appears to be somewhat of a second black hole on offense.

Stupid question but he's one of the few franchise players in the league so yes.

Jameer coming back will be big. We need a 4th quarter closer and Meer has awlays been good at that. Countless times seen him outscore another teams #1 late in a game. My worry late in games though is defensively. Would've loved to have Harkless out there against Melo but it is what it is.

Don't entirely agree. New system and you lose reps with injuries. Secondly, if protecting your thumb is always on your mind, it will effect the rest of your play. Ayon isn't a bad player. He was solid for New Orleans last year and had a real good start to the pre-season. Let him get healthy before we judge.

We need someone with a backbone leading this team. I miss Dwight.

Moore is a Jamal Crawford type guard, but is a terrible option starting games. Not a point guard. Jameer needs to get healthy.

Ayon will be fine when his hand heals. Honestly, the pre-season and the way he played for New Orleans last year >>> 4 game sample size with busted thumb. Vaughn should've held him out longer but it is what it is. Jameer coming back will help. We need some offense since apparently we've decided Redick is just a spot shooter again. In other news, Josh McRoberts needs to be benched, forever. He is absolutely useless. We haven't even been competitive in the games he's started.

We need Jameer back and McRoberts to never ever play small forward again.

Harkless. I just feel like he's got one of those names that looks cool on a jersey.

Stan created this situation when he put Redick back on the bench after Richardson came back from his injury. Same w/ Hedo.

Didn't H&H just miss the playoffs and then we were a David Robinson intervention away from Tim Duncan, Grant Hill, and Tracy McGrady. If we get the 8 seed this year, I think the playoff experience you'd get guys like Moe and Andrew and Vucevic (especially Moe and Nik) would be so much more valuable than a lottery pick (even if it's one of the top 2). I believe in the two pieces we got and the cap space we'll have to maybe add a star if those two develop. Play hard, play to win. Let's try and get some big game experience for our young guys. Plus, a young coach who brought what was supposed to be a rag-tag team to the playoffs, that'd be quite the free agent pull.

Hustle doesn't produce a 40 point quarter, talent does.

All he needed to do was develop a jumper. 6'8, can shoot the basketball, play the post, and the defense he already brings? Easily up there with Shabazz and Noel. Moe is wildly talented. He needs some refinement and he's going to be absolutely lethal.

The Cavs collapses of the last two years have directly coincided with Anderson Varajao getting hurt. Just saying. Dude wasn't healthy. If he stayed healthy, they probably don't have Kyrie I... wait, that was the Clippers pick anyway, they probably don't have Dion Waiters (maybe not a bad thing) or Tristan Thompson (Again maybe not a bad thing). We aren't that bad. We have multiple guys who have played key roles on good teams in their careers, AA and Harrington as recently as last year. BBD stepped up when Dwight got hurt last year. JJ has always played well in extended minutes. Not a top 5 seed, but we could sneak into that 7 or 8.

Nah, I'm done hoping we can land a star through the draft. In 8 years, when he's ready to win a ring, he'll leave anyway. But regarding the energy falling off. I'm not sure it'll happen. Jameer will be back in a few days. Harkless will be playing soon, Harrington will be back eventually. Ayon will get healthy. You'll see Nicholson earning more PT. I said it in the off-season and I think it's starting to materialize; this team has really good depth and unlike last year where the team sucked if 1 or 2 guys slumped, this year I think we have people who can pick up the slack. By no means are we a contender, but I'm not sold we aren't a playoff team either. We're a collection of good players. Even McRoberts, who appeared to play terrible had 5 points, 7 boards, and 3 assists. Unlike some of the guys in the past who have failed the eye test and put up Duhon 0-0-0-0-0-0 statlines, I see guys on this team who will do other things that will show up later. And please, Rob, don't trade Redick. Like Jameer, dude deserves to leave her on his terms. If he wants to be back, we should give him that chance.

I don't think we're as good as the last two games but I really don't know why people thought we'd be so bad. Glen was a double-double machine with Dwight out. JJ has been a 18-6 guy when he gets starters minutes. Meer is going to go on runs during the year. Add in a guy like Afflalo who is lethal in trasnition. Two backups PGs in Moore and Ish who both bring something different to the table. Young players who may look lost now but will only get better in our 4 rookies. And at some point we'll get Al Harrington's scoring boost and defense off the bench.

I think Gus is just protecting his hand. Just doesn't look like he's all there tonight. All of our bigs have been dreadful. Fairly happy with perimeter play. Redick is going to get a huge payday this off-season.

It's unreal how terrible McRoberts is. Seriously, no redeeming skills at all.

Harkless will boom or bust. Not really a middle road with him. A lot of people believe his talent was up there with the top. Just about him reaching it.

Jones is back. Harkless, being the franchise going forward, is being babied back. I expect Jones to start with Redick off the bench quickly. Phoenix's a tough matchup. I don't want AA or JJ guarding Beasley.

They're a trainwreck ready to happen. Especially with that bench costing them games.
