The next Joe Johnson

[slinslin]

Who are the young players in this league that are possibly in a bad situation, have their value drop and need a change of scenery to play their best basketball?

I got 3 names here:

1. Evan Turner
He is even similiar to Joe Johnson as a player. Terrible situation in Philly for him because Holiday and Iguodala want the ball in their hands. He needs to have the ball and needs some off-the ball shooters around him to blossom.

2. Anthony Randolph

3. OJ Mayo

I thought this was the case with Kris Humphries when he played at Utah. As you mentioned the other day, I think Nick Young is one of these players as perhaps is Bayless. I'm sure there are plenty more once the season starts and the fans become familiar with who is getting minutes and who is not.

Jordan Crawford. Darrell Arthur.

I think Evan will blossom just fine in Philly. I look for him to have a pretty good season this year. OJ Mayo might be in the wrong place but most of his problems are between the ears so it may not matter where he lands. Randolph is a risk but he's exactly the kind of risk we have to take. He's tall, long, athletic and clearly improved over his rookie season. I'm not sure why Golden State and New York gave up on him so quickly but unfortunately I don't think we have anything Minnesota wants.

Add Jason Thompson & Mario Chalmers to the list.

I think BC will start Bayless at PG this year, TOR is willing to trade Calderon.
