No defense, no bench, still undersized, and no defense.

Is smart more of a defensive coach? cuz if he's not then the front office should hire a coach and kept him as an assistant.
Who would you guys rather trade between Ellis & Monta ? Biedrins was actually good at a point

Not really. I think Smart emphasizes help defense so everyone (except the C and maybe PF) thinks that if they're guarding a guy someone should be behind them for help. They have a tendency to reach a lot and guys get by them pretty easily. They also have to scramble a lot because they switch off screens and jump at pump fakes like crazy.Originally Posted by YEEUPP

And for the trade did you mean Monta and Andris? Or maybe Monta and Curry?

It's a real tough call, before the season started we easily would have rather traded Monta over Curry. I think it depends on whoever can net the most value (if we trade one of them).

If dude meant who would I rather trade Monta or Curry, my answer is an emphatic Curry.

A lot of people's feelings on Curry has changed from last season to this season. I get that he's regressed from last season to this season, but the way I look at it is that it's his 2nd year in the league and he's playing on a rookie contract. I don't feel the need to trade him right now.
Biedrins was good when Baron Davis was here. I mean, Baron did make Jamaal Magloire an all-star.

I agree Paul, i don't feel we need to trade Curry OR Monta either, unless we get some type of NBA SUPERstar but if i were to trade one, i'd trade Curry. However, this is only Curry's second year. I think next year will be the year we find out what type of player he is and if he's a real stud or just a very talented guy but can't take over games.
IMO, Monta is not just a "chucker/scorer" or whatever the majority of people think of him. Dude has become a real leader and is our heart and soul. Curry, right now, is just a talented player but doesn't have that same drive.
Biedrins definitely needs to go asap as great of a guy he is and i agree with what most of y'all said. Udoh needs to start and get more PT to see what we have there. He's a very composed rookie which is what i like most about him. He doesn't panic and try to over do things.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, i wish we could package wack $#% Reggie Williams for a REAL bench scorer or legit wing defender.

You can't really complain about Reggie Wiliiams... he's an undrafted d-league player.

In Reggie's defense, he plays well for the most part when minutes are given...Especially when Curry was out.
I think what we really need right now is a competent 5.

I dont see why you guys would move either Monta or Curry...
It's a undersized backcourt, but at least they stay in front of their men...for the most part.

What centers can Curry+Biedrins get GS? Kaman?

I'm sure you can get Kaman for less. If I'm the Clippers, I don't bring him back anyways.

Hypothetical question: Would you trade Monta for Danny Granger? IMHO, I think this will be beneficial for both teams.

We need another guard, his contract sucks, but he'd be great off the bench. And of course we'd still need to trade Biedrins. I'd think if we would trade our expirings, something like this could make sense.

We need a 3rd guard in our rotation so Ellis/Curry don't have to play so much. I just used him as an example because apparently he's not getting PT and it would be more realistic. Just something to throw out as to what we could do with our expirings...

Terrible contract. Terrible defender. He wouldn't help us whatsoever. I just don't like his game at all because he is a guard who doesn't move the ball.
We're sitting on gold with these expiring contracts, let's not waste it.

Heard Deron Williams isn't happy in Utah.
Williams + Okur for Curry + Gadz + Vlad + B. Wright (+ first rounder)
If I was Utah, I'm not sure if I'd actually do this trade haha ... But it went through
