Gerald Henderson on the trading block

[slamtheking]

I like Henderson.  Would gladly move AB, Lee, Crawford, Brooks, Bass, Humphries, Bogans or Wallace for him.  (I think we have to wait on moving Bogans though but not sure).

I could see him as a very useful player on a rebuilding team.  Better than any of our current SGs.

[LooseCannon]

I'd be interested only if Avery Bradley remains the starting SG.

Meh. We need a better SG than AB to start. AB would be more effective coming off the bench. Yeah he played better than Allen a couple years ago, and was a better fit. But when PP,KG and Bass are jump shooters you need a slasher, and that worked.

Henderson is a better all around player right now. So he should start over AB especially if he's getting 7 mill. Unless AB has improved his jump shot, and plays a full season with out injury, you need to look for a replacement.

I think it is reasonable to believe that it is more than a 50% probability that Avery Bradley will be a better jump shooter than Gerald Henderson next season.

He is a very usefull PG. Considering Rondo to comeback in January, he can be a starter in this Cs team

Except he's not a PG. But that's ok.

And by all accounts, he's on track for training camp. Either way we don't need him

It's not a question whether we need him, but whether we want him. And it mostly depends on the price, which is likely to be too high.

[rondoallaturca]

It seems to me that most people are only interested in him only because he's seen as an upgrade over Bradley.

I think that's an awful reason to bring him in. In reality, he's an incredibly inconsistent player. His defense is just as lackluster, and he doesn't have a reliable perimeter shot. He's a pretty empty 15ppg contributor, and I just don't have any interest in that.

The guy is probably looking at a contract in the ballpark of Courtney Lee's, except Courtney Lee is a superior player. I'll pass on bringing in an inferior player to Courtney Lee at the same price, if not more.

He a great shooter ,  I'd like the C's to have him , but that won't help us tank any ,

maybe trade Wallace or Humphies or Bass for him a, but NO DRAFT PICKS .


Always wonder what his attitude would be on a decent team.

I figure the Lakers will snag him.

He is better scorer than AB.

[oldutican]

Wasn't Charlotte in the past interested in Humphries? I'd give him for Henderson, but problem is glut of guards.

[LooseCannon]

He a great shooter

I expect something better than a 27.2% career three-point percentage if you're going to call a guy a great shooter.

[SHAQATTACK]

If we can move any of Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, Marshon Brooks, or Jordan Crawford then absolutely.

I don't want any of those 4 guys on the celtics roster.

Amen to this .   I hate all these players as much as I loved KG and PIERCE.

[Moranis]

Don't really see the point for the dollars unless they will take Wallace and nothing else.

[Evantime34]

He a great shooter

I expect something better than a 27.2% career three-point percentage if you're going to call a guy a great shooter.

I think those numbers might have been effected by the team he was on and the style/quality of shots he got. He shot 33% from 3 last year, however he shot 43.6 from 3 in spot up opportunities and 63.6% from 3 in transition opportunities. Anytime he was shooting off the dribble or less open it got ugly in a hurry shooting 16.7% from 3 as a ball handler in the pick and roll, while shooting 7.1 percent from 3 in isos (which coincidentally is just a terrible terrible shot in general)

On defense he was good for 37th in the NBA in isolation situations(.66 PPP) but bad in pretty much every other situation, which leads me to believe anytime he had to rely on help defense he got torched.

So is Bradley on offense.  Together they would be perfect player but seperately each can play on  one half of the court.

But Bradley's defensive contributions outweigh Henderson's offensive contributions IMO. And again, the biggest thing doesn't make sense is bringing in a guy who is worse than Courtney Lee but will likely make the same salary, if not more.

Anytime your playing 4 on 5 it's bad.  Whether it's on offense or defense it helps the other team.   I do not care for Henderson but I do think we need an upgrade at SG.   I an old school I like a SG that can shoot.    Bradley, hopefully, will continue to make strides in that area but he has a ways to go.   I think he would be best served as a disruptive combo guard off the bench.

Maybe, but its also probable that AB will miss a good amount of games next season. Kinda hard to shoot from the bench...
