So does this indicate that we already have something lined up to trade #10?

His effort and work ethic have been questionned by quite a few. I wouldnt claim that he is a negative, but the exchange would be. Despite his other warts, Collins is at least a hard working blue collar guy.

Yeah you are preaching to the choir. I think that is one of the best arguments. Like if Warriors would be willing to do a trade like him for Collins, then you know the warts are bad. At least we should know and be able to trust that Collins puts the work in and gives 100% effort in games and...

No. Thats such a negative trade in terms of locker room culture and there are no guarantees Wiggins ever shows up.

I actually gave my 3rd to Allen initially, but then I thought about it a bit more and since the dude is sort of an ******* and not as funny at it as Ingles I decided to revoke the vote and just vote 2 (Joe and Mike). However its a personality driven vote for me. Mike is actually an amazing...

Not necessarily. If they keep KAT, they will be a 2nd apron team and it turns difficult to make moves even on the fringes of their roster. If they trade KAT, then they are off the hook for 2nd apron but need to find a new Robin. Also Rudy and Ant dont really mesh well on offense. Ant cant run...

Would you have guessed, that Derrick Jones Jr in particular has as many alley oop buckets than any other TEAM in this postseason? Probably not, since he isnt even top 2 in his own team in that category. Mavs have scored a total of 48 alley oops, while Nuggets are 2nd at 9. Luka has assisted 28...

Here is the question and full answer: With multiple draft picks and a lot of cap space, what optionality do you have this offseason? I personally read that more on the lines that you can only have so many young kids on the roster. I think he thinks its a bad option for development.

I dont think its about those players. Its about some takes and/or forum feuds of the past. Being proven right or wrong doesnt have an expiry date.

To be precise he said it wasnt plan A, B or C.

Yeah I have been really impressed by them. I was the biggest doubter of Luka/Kyrie combo and it seemed validated last year as it looked like they are just taking turns in iso ball... but after adding Lively and Gafford their PnR has been so deadly. Also PJ Washington and Derrick Jones...

Its amazing how well Dallas runs PnR with all possible combinations of Kyrie/Luka/Lively/Gafford. Minnesota hasnt had any answer to that defensively. Dallas offense is so simple, yet so effective. When they play against a fully set half court defense its either iso, PnR or drive and kick...

Truthfully, this game 3 was really bad from Gobert. Dallas didnt shy away from going at him on the perimeter and he was really off his game. No deflections and I bet when the tracking stats come up he had an abysmal DFG%. The extended benching of Gobert in the 3rd and 4th is not fun if you are...

He improved as the year went along, and in the post-ASB tanking stretch he was actually one of our best players also based on efficiency and advanced metrics. In addition to being in a completely different type of system he was also asked to do more here than in Atlanta, so the early struggles...

I also think the midseason smoke around Lauri was more based on the assumption that since we are sellers, he could be had. And I bet they got calls for him, but it felt like no discussion ensued and all rumors were very initial or based on hypothetical stuff.

Some people seem convinced that with all the comments Lebron is pushing the FO to make choices that please him as per usual, but I personally think Lebron is looking to leave the Lakers. It makes sense to skip conferences now as I dont think there is a path for Lakers to become contenders in...

I think the best 3 players that will surely have some discussion around them are gonna be Giannis, Embiid and Booker. Not sure if any of those 3 change addresses or if there are others. If Boston fails this year with the red carpet that was laid in front of them.. then who knows what they will do.

Of course. But to get that big 2nd contract both minutes and optimal role help. I'm just wondering which one he cares more about.

This. Only question to me is whether its more about the position/role or improving his chance to get solid minutes early on.

I wish people would just stop with the "trade Lauri with the sole purpose of tanking better". Its so far outside the box of what our FO has been signaling that its not smart to waste time discussing it. If you make projections that we trade him, at least back it up with some package which...
