I honestly have no clue if they do. You know how those things go. There hasn't really been any smoke on either one of them, so I don't think either has really talked about it to anyone.

Obviously Petty shouldn't, that seems pretty clear. It'd be a disaster on his part. He's not an elite enough shooter to stick around and the rest of his game is nowhere near ready. I'm not even sure he'd get a camp invite. I would honestly be shocked if he left.

Hall is more complex. He has some NBA skills right now, but he doesn't really fit a NBA position with his current skillset. A guy like him that can't shoot 16 footers is not going to find many roster spots available. My hope is that Avery convinces him that if he returns, develops a nice like pick and pop game and puts mid-range tape out there that his odds of getting a 2nd contract are much, much better. And I think it's something he can do. He was a decent shooter this year before his broke his wrist. But, he's a 3rd year player who will have people telling him he is a NBA player. And he would probably bounce around the G-League/NBA for the first few years. If he kept developing he'd get a shot for a full-time gig a lot like Jamychal Green did. But he's not there now.

I thought Herb was a 2 guard, maybe even a 2/3 combo if needed. I mean, isn't he like 6'7"?

He's a 2/3 combo guy. Him running the point would be a total hybrid thing, but he has a unique skillset. He's run the point in short spurts this year and been really smooth at it. I'm not sure he handles the ball on the floor well enough to do it, though.
