Multi-Billionaire Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) We have our backup PG so we can either resign AC to assume the third string PG or just waive him as J.R. can run some PG too. Karl already said J.R. will be our starter next year... Suppose we resign Bird, Jones and AC, what's really our next biggest need to beat the Lakers? C - Nene PF - Kenyon MartinSF - Carmelo AnthonySG - J.R. SmithPG - Chauncey Billups --- PF - Chris AndersenSG - Dahntay JonesSF - Linas KleizaPG - Ty LawsonPG - Anthony CarterSF - Renaldo BalkmanC - Johan PetroC - Steven Hunter I'd like to hear other members' inputs. I already have what I think is the problem... but I want to see if other members here can echo the same thing... to see if it's glaring or not.

Sun Tzu Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 If you guys get a good bench PF I reckon you guys will be contending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viral Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 low post scorer one with a back-to-basket gameThat's what I was thinking. Nothing else really jumps out. Mostly just have to improve as a team with the players they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 LOL I forgot Kleiza thanks Noone really thinks our rebounding sucks? Our leading rebounder is Nene with 7.8 rpg. At times, he disappears completely... 4 rebs. He can be dominant for a stretch with 14 pts, 8 rebs in one quarter stretch, and then completely disappears the rest of the game. We won't win a championship with a top rebounder of 7.8 rpg... we need a big man who will pull down double digit. Heck Troy Murphy pulls down 11+ rpg, Love the rookie pulled down 9+... we need someone who can consistently rebound and box out. As far as I know this team, when we have advantage in rebounding, we don't lose. Even before Billups came. There's no consistency or assurance we'll get the rebound every time someone shoots the ball... especially when playing against top teams like Lakers. Well I'm glad noone really noticed this doesn't mean we don't have to fix it though... FO has to be naive if it thinks getting Lawson and their offseason work is done.

Flight Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yeah I was just going to say a good big man off the bench, Camby-esque with some scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliCurbStomppa Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I think we need some good roleplayers. I think our starting 5 is good just the way it is. We need to make some moves to make our bench much better so we can go really far next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 They need more energy from the bench like the birdman brings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moeroadkill Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 now that u said rebounding i agree, watching lakers nugs WFC. lakers got so many 2nd chance points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camby23Land Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Yeah I was just going to say a good big man off the bench, Camby-esque with some scoring.So, basically, an all-star big man coming off the bench? We definitely need another big man. I was thinking possibly we sign Charlie Villaneuva since the Bucks announced they wouldn't be. He can score, he has the height and length, yet is versatile. He could cover Odom if we are looking at a Lakers match-up. The only thing is, would he start or would KMart start and whoever started, would the other get mad that he isn't starting? Might be too big of a name to sign because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Maybe I need to watch more CV games, but from what I've seen so far, he's the American dictionary for "Radmanovic". Soft... shot chucker... doesn't like to crash the boards, doesn't like to hustle... etc. It's good he's gone a season under Scott Skiles, so it should change some things from him, but I'm not sold on him.

Camby23Land Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I can see your point, but he's a streaky scorer, can defend when he tries, has great length, can run the floor, and can block shots. I think he wouldn't be bad in the Nuggets system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multi-Billionaire Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Can he really block shots and rebound? Sounds better... if $1-3 mil, it's acceptable but above, it'd be overpaying considering we have to resign Birdman, and he'll command a lot imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
