No more guards.
I've wanted Gerald Henderson since last season, tbh, he was on my list of FA candidates..
He has improved every season in the league:
9.7 PER
13.2
14
16.4 last season
He has improved his shooting every season, he shot 33% from 3 last year, which isn't good, but a significant improvement over 19% and 23% in the 2 previous years..
He shouldn't be a starter on a good team, but I believe he could excel as the co-6th man with Manu, tbh..the problem could be his inflated contract demands, but he's only 25..
He's only 6'5", but he played half his minutes at SF last season and produced better at SF, tbh..he's not a notable defensive player, he's average, but that doesn't matter with Kawhi and Green in front of him on the depth chart, tbh..the Spurs need offense, at this point..
Good finisher at the rim and above average passer for an athletic wing, tbh..
You lost me at "He's only 6'5" Nice try. NEXT.
NO NO, NO...... No more guards. You also said no a very good defender, double no... We need a legit back UP SF! We have enough 6'5 guys.
Kirilenko is the only actual SF/PF on the market worth acquiring, tbh, and that doesn't appear likely..
As I said, Henderson was better on both ends of the floor at SF last season, he's better as a SF, although it doesn't really matter as a backup, tbh..
I will say he would've been a nice alternative to Neal and Belineli but that's a moot point now.
HH is right actually, Henderson is a good player and plays his ball at SF. As a backup I wouldn't mind him but yeah he's a bit undersized and isn't a noteworthy defender
We'll just roll with the plethora of guards we have not to fill that backup SF spot rather than just bring another one in for that spot.
Exactly.
No thanks. Not good enough at shooting the 3, which is pretty much a requirement on this team.
Also, this:
Redundant with the Belinelli signing.
Solid player and yes he played a lot of SF last year. If Kirilenko doesn't come, I wouldn't mind Henderson.
You lost me at your gay ass thread downstairs.
It's interesting he's only 6'5 but he seems to play like a bigger player.
So this is now plan B if AK47 doesn't end up happening?
It's not like he's looking for a $2 million per year deal. He's trying to command $6-$8 million a year, so let's just give up on it.
Gerald Henderson is a true SF though unlike Belinneli, Green, Ginobili. That said, I don't know if his shooting is enough to warrant signing this player..probably not.
I'd rather sign MWP as plan B -- so maybe plan C?
Isn't the league average PER something like 13?
DAMN, FORGET IT!
No Dukies, thank you.
Can you imagine him picking a fight with Danny over PT?![]()
Spurs need another slasher when the inevitable Parker gets bigger defender on him happens
Ginobili cant do it anymore
The excessive use of "tbh" is making some of these threads borderline unreadable. I understand the abbreviation has its place and time but we get it already "you're being honest" and yeah sometimes "you're being quite honest" but my god do you people have to attach it to nearly every post or every third line. Dial it back, we want all your opinions not just your "h" ones.
