I'm not sure how I feel we should approach the depth situation at SG now. For so long, we have lacked scorers and outside shooters. Now we have Lance, Neal, and PJ all at the two guard. Hendo provides great D but isn't all that efficient offensively. So, do we keep all four guys or move one? Then do you risk not having enough scoring or giving up a great defender?

Clifford has stated that PJ will play some 3 so it may not be an issue

Not sure why everyone is thinking Hendo would be a good 6th man. 

 

You need quick offensive production from your bench, something Hendo is not good at. 

 

Additionally, correct me if I am wrong, he is getting paid too much to be a bench player. 

 

We have PJ now to perfectly fill out that instant offense off the bench. 

 

Hendo needs to be dealt.

Most 6th men get paid around 5-9 million a year depending on the team. You need to realize PJ has not looked ready in the summer league and needs time to work on his game while averaging around 6-10 mpg this season.

Henderson May not be an explosive offensive player but he keeps us deep on defense coming off the bench and would still be our best scorer off the bench (yes, better then you're savior PJ Hairston). The way I see it is this

Trade Neal this offseason to a team needing to add salary (Philly) and let Henderson play as our primary scorer off the bench. Next offseason (depending on how Hairston did in his limited time) trade Henderson and his much more movable expiring contract and let PJ Hairston take over as the top option off the bench (If he does well this season).

I expect (and hope) we keep Henderson for at least next year, as it keeps us as one of the deepest teams in the league. If we get rid of him, we might be in for some relatively shitty 2nd team offenses.

big difference between 5 and 9 mil. 

 

pj has simply been off. he is ready def physically and has played with older guys in the dl. 

 

he is a gunner. gonna be lighting things up or cold. 

 

teams dont need D off the bench. teams need scoring off the bench. ill take pj off the bench to score more points quicker than hendo would. 

 

we need to remove hendo asap.

PJ refuses to do anything but shoot. Henderson, while he lacks a long range shot, is a more complete player. Ill take him as my sixth man.

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
