Trade him while he still has value

[BigEd76]

Even Brand acknowledged during media day that their team is buried in 4th among the pro teams...

When you aren't a regular playoff team and never even enter the conversation of legit challengers, your fans should never ever EVER utter the word panic about anything. What is there to panic about? Maybe they won't finish ninth in the East this year! Oh no!

[ice grillin you]

im not panicking because its obvious evan turner will never be special...ill be happy if he isnt a bust not upset cause he cant play the two

my panic occured when i was at game two of the conf. finals and not even watching the game...but instead glued to my mans cell phone waiting for the second pick in the lottery to come up

[BigEd76]

glued to my mans cell phone

[ice grillin you]

Ok, Mr. Semantics, hows this.
I'm not, at this time, going to be overly concerned about young Evans lack of ability at the 2 gaurd position.
Better? Or do I have to endure another critique.

Pretty low expectations for #2 pick.
I think it was you that referred to him as "Sherman Klump", if my memory serves me right when going through this thread.
I'd hate to think you nailed that one.

[rjs246]

Critiquing is what I do. It's all I do. Judgments for you all!

[ice grillin you]

the klump reference was more about him being a nerd than it was his basketball ability

as for him being a player i am not totally down on him i just wasnt as excited as a lot of people

i think his upside is brandon roy (if his shooting improves)
his likely outcome andre iguodala with a better handle
and his downside kerry kittles

even kittles isnt terrible but like you said and this is what it comes down to...not exactly what im looking for in a number two overall

[Hawk]

So what is the projected starting lineup if ET is sitting?    Jrue, Iguodala, Thad, Brand, and Hawes?

Thats it.
Hopefully ET starts showing some promise at the 2. If not, I'll be getting ill.

i wish battie was like five years younger so they could bring hawes or speights off the bench

i cant recall a softer front line than that...say what you want about the godfather but he could defend the front of the rim...they are gonna get slaughtered inside the paint this year

Well all the talk from Collins about Brand revolves around defense and rebounding.   Maybe Brand recreates his old injured self.
