Delisting, Trading and Retirements

Re: Delisting, Trading and Retirements

Regarding delistings, M Lynch name has not come up.

Has been on the list for 3 yrs or so and had only played 2 games.

Does the coaching staff see somthing that we can't?

They sure do but I think they are wrong. He hasn't done enough things right to warrant being maintained.

Re: Delisting, Trading and Retirements

I remember Aka saying that Lynch will be a good player, and how hard he trains.

Lets hope that he has a fantastic pre season and have a break out 2010 season.

With Lynch it's not so much what he has done but what he could be.

If we de-list him will the kid we draft in his place be any better? Probably not because they'll be around pick 68. Lynch however is a quick small forward (something we don't have at all) who has shown enough in the past to be selected. That is why he'll probably be retained.

Re: Delisting, Trading and Retirements

With Lynch it's not so much what he has done but what he could be.

If we de-list him will the kid we draft in his place be any better? Probably not because they'll be around pick 68. Lynch however is a quick small forward (something we don't have at all) who has shown enough in the past to be selected. That is why he'll probably be retained.

I agree with this. Lynch might or might not have done enough to be retained. But with the two new teams coming in, young talent will be at a premium so it might be worth to keep him. We are also on the lookout for a small forward, so maybe with an increase in work ethic and rate, Lynch could be that player.

I would keep him on the list if we have the room.
