By what logic? Trae Young is pretty much one man wrecking crew on offense, and its not like he has had some great group on that end to support him since he arrived in the league.
I dont think Brice belongs in that lineup since you already have a glaring weakness on defense with Trae, but other...
If this turns out to be Svi Michailuk or smth then get a posse rolling and find that guy (BYO pitchforks).
If he teases by saying "not Clarkson" it must be someone who isnt a complete nobody.
I didnt watch Magic a lot last year. Is KCP really that cooked?
Its weird that a dude who has been a starter and key role player for two different championship teams in the past 5 years is suddenly toxic at 22M per year with such a short deal.
People gotta remember that trade return is more than just a representation of a players value.
Its a combination of that plus circumstances plus GM smarts/stupidity. In terms of circumstances the market situation (supply and demand of that players skillset) is what matters the most.
There has been a lot of reporting that this offseason is gonna be crazy, and since there was zero smoke around Bane (afaik) it seems Magic wanted to jump the queue on the markets and do this deal without a bidding war. Cant drive a hard bargain if you arent willing to let competition in on the deal.
I hope its gonna end up being Key or Collier since that would give us a real one.... but I cannot bet against Cody since he set this up so perfectly last year.
I thought Tony proclaimed that basically everyone is for sale but the price tag on Lauri and Walker remains high.
In that case Walker should cost the same or more than whatever pick gets you Maluach just for being NBA-proof elite rim protector and rebounder.
I would be very happy getting him.. but I think he is the most likely of the 3 to be gone by then.
Fits in Philly and Charlotte, albeit I dont think either of those two would plan on maximizing him as an on-ball player.
I dont know if anyone has mentioned Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones here. He is old af and not a 3 point shooter but what if we draft him in the 2nd round and try and see if his game translates? Could be a big time value swing... especially since we can probably give him some decent burn against NBA...
I want to ban SGA from being a comp to anyone. His post draft development curve was so exceptional, that if you insert such curve to anyone then you can just start projecting 2nd round prospects into all-stars.
I like your attitude. Last season brought the worst out of many of us but its just a part of rooting for a bad team.
I remember two years ago when I went to read Clutchfans (Rockets fan board) it was absolutely littered with toxic and dooming posters who declared the FO has ran the team to the...
I guess when he was drafted skinny frames were still a big negative and guys like him and SGA fell. SGA also had quite awesome college numbers but found himself outside the top 10.
You could get away with lot more defensively, so being strong and able to overpower bullies was more important...
The main logic why I wanted to make this thread is to see how many would just let all of them walk for nothing. Obviously if they are still here that is a detrimental sign of their trade value with their current deals at least, but is there some other motivating factors to keeping one or more of...
