I think he's a minimum player next year... maybe a bit better. I don't mind him as a fifth big making the minimum, but I'd rather use his contract to get something useful.

You and I are the only posters saying this right now.

Withey should be traded, IMO. It's a rare chance to capture value.

If we could get something I'd do it. Centers are ample in this draft and in FA. I'm not sure we'd get more than a second rounder though.

Sixers and Nets always lost in their close games, that's why I say this team as it is now is not a true contender, they can't close out game. We need a true number 1 goto guy.

Unfortunately.

On the booker front, I think the Jazz really like him despite weaknesses. I hope they are right and we are wrong, cuz he should be cheap. Though, this offseason people are going to be pissed with deals in general since "cheap" will be a lot more money than it was in the past.

And speaking as the resident Booker apologist, I really like him as an 11th-12th guy on the bench. He provides intangibles (at least I think he does) and can be a spark off the bench when the team is lethargic. The key is to get him off the court when he's sucking it up.

Booker has been great the last two games besides him taking inopportune shots. He is probably getting a little too much hate.

I'm not sure great is the right word. He's made some plays but also costs us. Not just with shots but he's just such a non threat on offense... Guys can just pack it in.

He grabs so many offensive rebounds and he often wins 50/50 balls, or forces the other team to foul on rebounds. He creates a lot of extra possessions for our offense.

Jazzfanz cried we lost in OT cuz of Booker at Charlotte. Then Booker doesn't play in OT at NYC and we get wrecked on 2nd chance points.

Some smart people don't love the offensive rebound because it means stealing from transition D. Not sure it applies much in bookers case.

He does some good things. He also is a non threat on PnR and defenses ignore him... Can't spot up... Isn't finishing well... Basically having him set a pick just brings a double team to Hayward. He's been fine... Great was the word I was quibbling with.
 
Booker plays too fancy for his britches. He gets the 1 handed robounds. But also misses easy shots. He's a glossy turd.

Problem is he doesn't know what he is on offense anymore. In Washington he was an effective mid range shooter, didn't try all these pump fakes/whirling derbish moves. His TS% is a horrific 47.9% by far lowest of his career. It's not really worth bashing a guy who won't be here much longer and making 5 million a year though.
 
It entirely depends on what Withey can be traded for. Let's not act like his value is that high after playing OK.

This... If the return is what NO got for Ish Smith then no thanks. Jeff has this year and another left on his deal. We have a ton of second rounders so I'm not interested in getting rid of Jeff for that. I doubt we could get a first rounder for him.
