Ely and Jones

[Wallace15]

Your opinions, Melvin Ely and Jumaine Jones. Whos staying and whos going?

[heelfan]

With the Bobcats signing Othella Harrington, I\'d say that Melvin Ely is going either thru sign and trade or getting away with nothing in return. I\'m guessing that Jumaine Jones stays, but I haven\'t heard anything at all about the Bobcats re-signing him.

I agree Ely is not staying but I\'m not really sure about Jones if we signed Withers than I would say he was leaving but we havent signed any SF but he is staying.

It looks like the Denver Nuggets have their eye on Jumaine.

[Wallace15]

Looks like the Nets might pick up Ely.

If we end up losing Jones and Ely I think we should bring in Withers and Fischer.
Those would be 2 pretty nice pick ups.

[ashy_larry]

Fischer could probably get some minutes this year if they signed him. He looked a lot better in the summer league than Ryan Hollins did. I\'d like for them to sign Withers so they could stash him away in the NBDL next season. I think he has a lot of potential down the road.

Any word on Brett Blizzard?

[Dead_Real]

Nothing yet on Blizzard but I\'m keeping my fingers crossed we sign him.

Dont think we will sign Jones or Ely . Not keeping Ely is a big mistake. The 5 is where we week at. Premo being the only true 5 we have . Hate to say this but he would be a back up on most teams.
Hollins is not ready yet to play at this level.
That means OK50 will see a lot of playing time at the 5.But that could be a good thing if he can stand all the physical play.
1. Felton
2. Wallace
3. Morrison
4. May
5. OK5O
Key Beanch players B.K. Premo,Harrington,Carol , Anderson. I know that want be the line up . But i can WISH. ILL bet its B.K. Felton, Wallace, OK5O, Premo,
What do you think the starting line up will be.

[Wallace15]

I still think the line-up will be

1-Felton
2-Wallace
3-Morrison
4-Okafor
5-Brezec

If we dont re-sign Ely then we should really consider signing Fischer. He spend last year in a Developmental league last year and could be a solid back-up at the 5.
If we dont re-sign Jones then Withers or Herman could be a good back-up at the 3. I know that Withers is more of a post player but he can spread the floor and hit come jump shots. We could use him at the 4 sometimes too, and he can get us a lot of rebounds when his in. Herman can probably shoot better from outside than Withers, but doesnt have as good as a post game.
If we were to sign one of them I would lean more towards Withers. For the fact that the can post, and can hit some jump shots.

Bench would be Knight, Berleson, Anderson, Robinson, Caroll, Withers, Fischer, Harrington, May, and Hollins

I hope you right . But Bernie is in love with B.K . Hate to say it but i think we will see B.K and Felton starting in the back court . I also hope we sign Fisher. But ill tell you all ,if we dont at least sign Ely or get a big in a trade. We are going to have a lot of truble at the 5 spot.
I think we can still get a 5 in a sign and trade. Is there any 5 left thet would help us . If so who....

I still think it\'s a damn shame Salmons isn\'t still with Philly and we couldn\'t swing a S&T like:

Ely

for

Salmons and Hunter.

That would have been sweet.

Maybe:

Ely

for

Hunter and a 1st round pick

would still work but I\'m guessing it wouldn\'t because the numbers don\'t match.

What do you guys think about Ely and something
for Jamal Magllire. Ive read they want to deal him.
I think he would start over Premo if it was a way to land him.

It would be a waste of time IMO.

Maglorie is, first and foremost, over rated. Dude made 1 all star game way back when and has been hanging his hat on that ever since.

Secondaly he is a FA at the end of next season and has made it quite clear that he wants to head up to Toronto to finish out his career.

He\'s not the sort of guy I would want to bring in personally.

[dav7z]

I knew he wasnt all that and if he would not be good for the team we dont need him anyway.Hes was just a name going around. I gess we would be better off singing D . Fisher and Hollins and hope to land a good 5 in next years draft. Who knows one of those two might end up a all star. But as of right now i would like to keep Ely. BIG chance ha.

[Jonathanmartin7]

Think they\'ll both be gone. Would love to see D. Fisher play for us.

[ziggy]

Ely is looking more and more like a sign and trade by the minute. I\'ve read that the Nuggets and Suns are interested in Jumaine Jones, but nothing has been signed yet.
