Official offseason thread

Darko is an ok big man. And would be more effective than their current roster of centers. Q-rich is not really in the rotation for d'antonis system. He can shoot still but isnt that effective at the run'n' gun style. He was traded from the suns because of the coach. They admittedly dont fit well together. Mike likes to put him on the wings and rich like to post up.

Is he really the kind of guy we need? I doubt he'd be cool backing up Rudy or OJ.

I dont really want q-rich. Infact I dont want him at all. I was just answering the question.

Oh I know. I wasn't trying to offend you or anything like that. I don't want Q either.

No offense taken. Were on the same page apparently.

Yeah, I have a bunch of reasons of why we shouldn't want him. He doesn't have any passion, he seems to be past his prime, and if he doesn't want to play for a great coach like Mike D'antoni, what makes you think he will play here? It might be best if he goes over seas or goes to a team that will accept the way he plays. I think i'd rather trade for J.J. Redick than that guy.

Whats with the Q-Dog hate?

Yeah, I may have said a little too much about him. He may not be past his prime, but if he didn't play in New York, what makes people think he will play here?

That's just the same injustice when it comes to Memphis trying to get better. How are they going to get any better if nobody wants to come here?

[jailer]

Q-rich dosent fit the team's main priority in players wanted either. He is to old

If we were to go after Milsap, how big should the contract be?

I think 10.5 million a year would be the highest. Maybe four year deal and a player option.

here is Millsap's profile. Think about it again. Do we really want to pay a guy who is 6-8 10.5 a year? I mean, i've seen this guy play. He's got potential, but is it worth the risk?

i'd rather have arthur.. i know millsap is great but arthur has a bigger upside i think.

Paul milsap is a double double machine. He kept utah afloat when boozer was out. I didnt say pay him that much. I said that would be the most I would offer. I would try and give him around nine miilion a year.

In order for us to keep Arthur, he would have to learn how to rebound, how to utilise the low post (whether that be developing a few simple spin moves or making cuts from high to low), learn how to set solid screens and develop a respectable mid-range game, learn how to defend both the low post and out to the arc.

Right now, non of this stuff is respectable in Arthur's game, it gets him by, but it's not respectable. His mid-range shot is probably the only tool he has going for him, which he rarely uses. He can run the floor extremely well for a guy his size, but if that's all he's got, then we can ship him out right now.

Maybe I'm being too harsh on him, because he really disappointed this year, but he is in no way worthy of a starting spot on this team and if we get Millsap, he'd be third string behind Millsap and Warrick (that's if we don't trade Warrick).

Arthur is going to be nice imo.
