I think in some situations it is extremely valuable for young guys to play with good vets and other times it's not. Cool, if you disagree. I never said and am not talking about Collins playing himself in to value. I don't think that happens either. It's more of a situational thing where he...

I just don't think it's that black or white. I think you can give Collins plenty of minutes and we are not going to win games. I think it's more valuable to give young players minutes where they can be successful (surrounded by vets) as it is to jusr give them as much minutes as possible...

Who is hating on Hendricks?

If he's not hurting anything than he at least provides entertainment value. He's also probably nice to play with for the young guys. I don't think he's much of a problem for half a year To be clear I prefer we move on from him, but don't think it's a big deal to keep him for a little bit.

Collier, Keyonte, Ace, Lauri, Kessler WCJ, Brice, Collins, Flip Nurkic, minimum free agent signing, and Svi off the deep bench. Cody and Hendricks take turns in the Gleague to start the year.

I think we'll be ok if we end up having to wait and moving one + of them at the deadline. I thought the point of moving on from Sexton was so that we don't feel like we have to play him minutes. I don't think we have to play Nurkic any amount of guaranteed minutes.

Good point.

I wasn't being that serious, but I did find this picture from a year ago if someone wants to try and compare.

Looks like Cody has been working hard on arm day, but still skipping leg day.

That's fine. I'm not saying I want to trade him.

I'm more open to trading Lauri after drafting Ace than I was before. Specially I wanted Lauri around if we drafted a point guard since I thought it would be good for their development if they could play with an elite play finisher like Lauri.

Keyonte, in my opinion. Keyonte had an ast% of 27.2% and an ast/to ratio of 2.06. I think that Keyonte is a good passer/has good vision, but he just needs to learn how to get the offense going earlier/look to pass a little more. He's also still a little younger than WCJ, so potentially has...

The reason why it's difficult to project him as a starting point guard is because he isn't a natural play maker. He made huge strides in play making this year at Florida and still only had a 23% ast%. Also his 1.7ast/to ratio isn't bad, but it's not great for a senior point guard. Also, just...

How good would this team have been this year in the West: Holliday, WCJ, Ingram, Lauri, Turner Collier, Sexton, Ace, Hendricks, Kessler

Toronto should have gotten in on Miles Turner. I'm guessing he didn't want to go there, but Turner/CMB would be a really nice front court. Turner/CMB/Barnes/Ingram/Quickley starts to make some sense to me.

It feels like the Jazz could have got in this deal somehow to avoid the wave and stretch...

Probably true.

There needs to be a way to discourage one year tanking/picking up a top draft pick when your star player gets hurt. The top draft picks should be for rebuilding teams/teams without stars. There have been proposals around winning percentages for several years being considered for lottery...

Maybe they try and do a one year tank. Kind of feels like Boston might try the same thing.

I still don't quite understand the math and what the full deal is, but this is completely unexpected. I don't see how a contending team can live with 20+ million in dead money? Turner is a great fit for MIL though...
