    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    Ainge has to trade Sexton this year as his value will be way lower next year as he'll be in the last year of his contract.

    Walker Kessler Hype & Appreciation Thread

    I'm pretty skeptical of any stat that has Walker as some elite defender this year as the Jazz are last in defense by a large margin and are worse with Walker on the court (though that's usually because he's playing with Keyonte, Sexton, and Markkanen). He's having a good year, but his inability...

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    He's not too far off Westbrook physically (he's weaker, but not that much weaker and is otherwise similar) But the difference is that Westbrook can dribble into traffic at full speed. VJ's handle is so terrible that he has to move in slow motion when he's dribbling the ball. So he never gets...

    Game Thread Dec 28, 2024 07:30PM MT: Philadelphia 76ers @ Utah Jazz

    Sexton's on/off is actually getting nutty. Sexton on-court: Jazz are -3.3 per 100 possessions (a 30-32 win caliber team) Sexton off-court: Jazz are -16.5 per 100 possessions (a 7-8 win caliber team) Collins' on/off is pretty good this year too, but Sexton's is very extreme considering he's...

    What is going on with Collier?

    Cody does not look any different...?

    2024-2025 Tank Race

    Nets traded DFS and Shake for D'lo and three seconds. I imagine they try to move D'lo for more seconds and a worse player soon.

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    DeRozan, Collins, Sabonis is the worst defensive frontcourt anyone could dream up. I don't see many options for Collins other than the Heat or Warriors as any team trading for him needs to believe they can hide Collins on defense while desperately needing more frontcourt offense.

    I will say that was a good game, both teams played very hard outside of like Cody and Ayton.

    I mean, they were certainly effective for the objective, but even tank fans like me every once and a while have to step back and say "man, this is bleak ****"

    Collier and Cody combining for 60 minutes while Sexton and Lauri only combine for 57.... Just throwing games out here.

    Collin, Walker, and Lauri actually trying really hard while playing 3 on 5 is kinda depressing, lol. Collier and Cody pulled out a clutch loss, but man, they're just so bad.

    Has Kessler surpassed Gobert?

    Peak Gobert was an elite player, but he's currently having a pretty bad year. Career lows in ORB%, DRB%, BLK%, and USG% while having his highest TOV% in many years. He's playing in a horrible offensive context next to McDaniels and Randle but he's also 32. Is Kessler better than current...

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    I imagine the trade market will be paralyzed a bit due to the Jimmy Butler stuff. Any team that has the contracts to trade for Collins will first want to figure out what's happening with Butler.

    What is going on with Collier?

    Currently, Collier has a TS% of 34.6% and a turnover percentage of 34.4%. Generally, the TS% is 30 to 50 points higher than turnover percentage and no player has ever had a season with their turnover percentage being higher than their TS%. Would be a pretty horrendous but remarkable...

    His defense and scoring has not been good enough for a secondary option this year. He needs to score much better inside the paint and not be a horrendous defender again.

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    Markkanen's season has been really bad this year and he won't get traded next summer unless he turns it around in the rest of the year. He's gone from +3.6 BPM to +1.0 which is a pretty huge dropoff.

    IDK, there's just not ideal fits anywhere. Maybe Orlando is one, but they already have four ball handlers in Paolo, Franz, Black at times, and Suggs at times.

    2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

    It's extremely hard to put together a Sexton trade and harder to put together a Clarkson trade. Every team that could use Sexton just needs defense way more (eg, the Lakers) or already has too many small guards. If the Wolves hadn't traded for Dillingham and it hadn't really worked out, they...

    What is going on with Collier?

    I mean, it's really really hard to score in the paint as a guy with a short standing reach if you can't jump.

    What is going on with Collier?

    He can't jump so he can't score in the paint or get to the line and that was his entire game in high school or college. He needs to shoot like 10 threes a game at 40% accuracy to make it in the NBA.
