get rid of Tyreke Evans first and foremost. dude is the dumbest player in the NBA.

Tyreke has single handily lost at least 15-20 games for them within the last two seasons.

:dahell: theyve actually looked like a half decent team since he came back instead of one of the worst in the league :dahell:

They need a better point guard. Whatevers necessary to get a better point guard outside of trading Anthony Davis for obvious reasons; they need to do it.

They take and miss too many 3's and they give up too many 3's

Missed 3's lead to Transition buckets and the open 3's they give up is even worse

The Philosophy on Defense should be to cut off the 3pt line and suck everything into Asik (Anjica should play more) and Davis.

Davis needs to learn how to play in the 1/2 court

Ish played really well for them and they threw him into the bushes for no reason.

Because Holiday is injury prone and taking a flyer on exum or a 1st rd pick may actually lead them to a better spot...Jrue is a former allstar but it looks like he won't return to that level...Im not sure if they should just let EG walk its not like an upgrade via free agency will be available.
So they should trade a guy who you claim is injury prone for another guy who has only played one season and already has TORN HIS ACL?!?! :mindblown:

And why should they keep Eric Gordon? How has having Gordon and his huge ass contract on the roster helped them so far?

You sounding slick ridiculous right now breh :francis:

Trade Gordon or Holliday (or even Evans if need be) and some second round picks for Klay.

Trade Anderson or Ajinca for Jahlil Oka4.

Tell AD to work on his damn shot

Try to get Ty Lawson, Marcus Smart, or Emmanuel Mudiay

Boom

I think somethin similar to what Portland put around Lamarcus Aldridge the past few years till he bounced....

-Defensive minded center

-2 wing guys who can shoot the 3 to space the floor and also handle the ball a lil and get they own buckets occasionally and play at least above avg D

-a true point guard who can control the tempo and make sure AD get his touches at the right spots on the floor

Not like it's easy to find all that but if you talkin the ideal team around AD that's what I'm goin with

With tyreke , Gordon n jrue injury histories I wouldn't be crazy about keepin any of them but I don't know what kinda trade value you even get for them right now. But i think you gotta move at least one if possible.

Id try and focus on fixing that PG spot first. Asik is ight at Center for now and there's lots of 3 and D wing players you can find. But imagine AD with a real PG like a CP3 in his prime :gladbron:. It's a PG league and till they get that spot right there's only so far they can go.

Trade Tyreke, Ryan Anderson and Jru Holiday. Throw a max at Mike Conley this offseason and go after Noah
