And he would be an adequate replacement, as then our system would finally shift and be more of a team oriented for a season, and then henderson would be off the books and we would have max space for 2 free agents in 2017.
You are having trouble looking past 2 words. Demar and Henderson, and a failing to grasp the bigger picture and the bigger idea.
It has been discussed ad naseum here about the true value demar brings to the basketball court and where it actually lies in terms of available replacements. Henderson at 6 million for 1 year IS BETTER than Demar at 23 million for 4 or 5 years.
Perhaps Demar proves his entire career statistically incorrect and comes out next season with a lower usage, higher shooting percentages and performs like a prime Jordan, hell maybe he performs like a prime Monta Ellis, but looking at the entirety of his career I would say it is more than safe to assume that he will maintain his career averages.....a high usage low efficiency scoring guard.
In regards to Demar Luring potential targets....that is grossly overblown,....Why would Demar be a lure to potential FAs exactly again? Is it because he needs 18 shots a game? because he shoots sub 30% from 3? Because he needs a system designed to maximize his talents?
In regards to finances, damn straight it gets trickier cause now you are dumping a minimum of 3 guys in an effort to gain capspace to sign a fa, then you are going well over the cap to resign demar, then you still need to sign more player to complete roster. No, it is far more reasonable to suggest that a true 3 and d wing, an allstar - MVP talks PG, an young and upcoming center, loads of depth and loads of flexibility is a far more attractive incentive for a free agent. no? It is possible for me to go to the moon.....
And on the last part, no need to get all snippy, if you cannot defend your opinion on a matter and feel the need to attempt to beat your own dead horse...you have offered nothing of value in response to what you quoted of me other than a veiled attempt at finger waving. I provide statistical support for my claims, and you provide closed ended questions as an attempt to debate.
