Any interest in Winslow?

[JTB]

Personally I don’t know much about Winslow but he reminds me a lot of Detroit’s Stanley Johnson. Those two seem so similar to me for some reason but again I don’t watch either player enough to really judge their skills.

....anyways would Winslow be worth trading for? Apparently rivalry executives believe he’s Miami’s “76ers Jahil Okafor” except they actually play him.

I don’t know much but his numbers project he could be a decent bench 3 and D Man.  He doesn’t strike me as a player who’d be okay jacking up lazy and excessive threes though. 

Is he supposed to be in Spo’s doghouse or something?  That’s not a good sign.  He also likes swingmen who can put it on the floor, not a Winslow strong suit.

Had no idea the Heat were 4th, although not surprised.  Udonis Harlem apparently is still alive and being paid by the Heat.  Good for him.

No. From what I've seen of him. He lost that first step he had at Duke. He's not the same player anymore. At least potentially.

I don't trust his bump in 3pt% this year (still is career 29%), but even with that he is still an incredibly inefficient scorer which is why he isn't part of the Heat's core anymore.   I would only want him as a cheap flyer that we could improve him.  I think he can defend well enough to contribute if his offense wasn't such a liability.

He’s a 3nD without the 3. I wouldn’t hate it but not something to root for. Same for Stanley tbh

Same here...I’m wondering how bad his offense is overall and if it worth it for  bud and staff to take on the challenge and turn him into atleast an average .355 three point shooter who can bring intense defense off the bench.

My thought process behind bringing in Winslow is possible new Sefelosha for the bench and the future.

I agree with Soups, Winslow isn't the same guy he was when he came in the league. He's not really worth a trade at this point.

Pass.

I'd rather try and develop Bembry. 

[Sothron]

Hard pass for me. It is just like I said the other day on realgm, you don't want guys that have no offense in the hopes your coaching staff can find one for them.

DMC?

Exceptions only prove the rule.

DMC?

DMC averaged 12.7 pp36 in his last season in Utah.

He averaged 12.5 pp36 in his first season in Atlanta and 14.5 in his second.

His shooting improved but it wasn't some huge transformation.  DMC had almost the exact same numbers in Utah and Atlanta - just with a lot more minutes in Atlanta.

Are we trading Prince?  Of course not so why would we need him ... he is one of those players who never lived up to the hype out of college ... just like Stanley Johnson
