Brown vs Henderson

If a big trade comes up before the deadline, and we have to let go of one of these 2 players, who would you rather keep?
Brown finally seems to be a part of the rotation with Tyson out. He's also looking pretty good to be an undersized rookie at his position.
Henderson sadly is getting smothered on the pine because of Jackson and Flip who are more experienced and have a much better jumper than him.
Who knows what Henderson (who is more athletic and a better defender than flip and Jack)could do for us if he got serious minutes as a 2 guard?
This is a hard one for me... What would you do?

You said it, no one knows what Henderson could do for us. Until then, I would like to keep him. Maybe he'll get his big chance next year if we don't resign Flip in the offseason.

I would rather keep Henderson. He has a defined position at the two guard whereas UPS is more of a tweener. A few years from now Gerald could be an all-nba defender which we will need to guard the big time scorers. I love UPS but i think Henderson will benefit us more in the long run. His offense should be improving as well being that he is learning from bonafide scorers in Jax and Flip.

I don't necessarily think we need to trade either of them, but I don't see how we could justify trading Brown over Henderson, however. Besides being deeper at Henderson's position, Brown has shown in multiple instances in meaningful moments the ability to contribute with upside as well. I think as much as LB complains about wanting another PF, he would be well served using Brown more as a backup PF. He's a guy I would like to see more off, especially when we have to go against the Josh Smith's, Bosh's, etc.

I would trade filp if I could get something for him. I would also trade ac law and would consider even trading jackson if we can get something good enough.

We need to keep both because of the lack of new talent next year.

I think we will have to trade one of them (or DJ) before all's said or done, but other than that I agree with everything else 110 said.

Another knock on Hendo...he's pretty much stuck at 2, maybe 3 in a real pinch. LB likes players who can play multiple positions and that's not him. Not that is for every player, but that as well as being loaded at the 2 makes him the most expendable IMO.

I think DJ would be the one to trade over either . He seems to have the least up side of the three . Beinig a carer back up isn't a bad thing though.

He helps us more though.

Just think back to the McInnis years. I like having a good backup and he's pretty cheap all things considered. I'd much rather have him then the twice rans who'd cost at least as much.

Keep them both. Get rid of Graham/Flip instead
