I hope we're looking at John Butler. He's raw but kind of intriguing. A couple of years in the G-league and he might get to point where he can contribute at the NBA level
Yeah I’m in this mindset as well.

They gotta get rid of Rozier even more. That's the contract that has to go. No one is touching that Hayward deal. The Pistons got the 13th pick for 9 million dollar contract.
Yeah maybe they can rope the spurs into this somehow.

Charlotte isn't going to trade him.
O I I agree only way they prolly do it is if miles gets super expensive. That Hayward deal and rosier extensions really look bad in this day.. as far as the trade it Makes a lot of sense for the hawks if they believe in bouknight. I liked him coming out. So could be a win.

The Hawks aren't doing the Murray deal and the Nets have been extremely reluctant to trade KD and putting out there that they want to sign Kyrie back.
To me, it's a big win for CHA and Brooklyn. Just acceptable for Atlanta. But it does all of the things Atlanta needs and gives them a chance to use a Full MLE for Thad Young, and the P.J. Tucker's of the world to battle it out with Okongwu so it's not just handed to him.
If we could get Washington from charlotte I might not hate it as much.

Is Dyson Daniels really the target at 7 if a JC trade is made? Daniels is definitely one of my favorite prospects in this draft
Honestly my heart is telling me it’s Griffey or mathurin. I wouldn’t be upset as I think they can be really good offensively next to trae. The defense will be wait and see.

Honestly give me dyson Daniels in a trade up or either take Dalen terry at 16. They both offer up that two way potential that could and will thrive next to trae young.

Reddish has the tools but he is raw. Honestly, he is the 3rd option and still shell shocked. As much as R.J. is selfish, Cam can be as selfless as Otto Porter. Not sure if that's a positive.
All of these guys have a lot of room to grow but out of everyone, R.J. was the most disappointing in Maui
I'll argue that in this draft, he could slip into the top 5 after workouts.
Someone will take him. But in regards to reddish that’s the worry with him. That’s why I figure he and Trae would form a solid one two.

Straight from Vince Carter:
Kings two games over .500 and have been one of the more surprising teams they won’t make the playoffs but yeah whatever.

My problem with the Vince stuff is that the team gave more effort towards getting him to his milestone than they did towards trying to win the game.
From my standpoint, the ONLY focus these players should have is this. What do I need to do to help my team win today? That's it. Nothing else matters.
Lol reaching that milestone is an accomplishment. Let them be great. They are trying they just aren’t good yet. I said last year Toronto was underrated, switching out derogatory for kawhi really has brought that about and kawhi didn’t even play last night. Pascal and Anoubly are prizes and I can’t wait to see them vs the celts or Milwaukee in a playoff series.

I'm struggling to see how Zion is going to fit within an offense at this point. Almost everything he does comes in isolation, transition, or put backs.
I can’t deny his talent but he’s a guy that is going to really show his perimeter game. He will go number one most likely though cause he is a beast.

I don't see anyone developing, or playing hard enough to win games. Also, if they are having fun at 3-15, then all hope for the future is lost. It tells me they have completely bought into the tank.
Fit was a feel good moment for the team. They talked about it post game. I think they are bummed about the loss but were excited for Vince. No need in them getting down about it haven’t even made it to a quarter of the season. Celebrate with Vince and get back at it with a game Friday.

I called him Bazemore right now with better in traffic ability and handles. Skills in general but his body needs works. Shooting needs a lot of work, this more advanced skills, needs to finish better in traffic without getting a head of steam, and needs more sizzle in general. Extremely skilled for his age at this level but is lacking a lot if we are talking NBA prospect. I think he could be special but needs a lot of development.
Same for Zion and Reddish. All of them are far from finished products. Farrrr....
That said, Rui has developed nicely. I like his stretch 4 impact but I am not sold on him being a top 10 pick but he could get there by the end of the season. Overall, impressive matchup so early into the season. Usually it's worse than this at this stage. I feel like more eyes are watching than usual because of the Duke hype
Unfourtanetly that’s what I was alluding to with my other post. Yesterday’s game just showed it. Barrett is a scorer but I don’t know if he actually makes others better. If he passes that ball off duke prolly goes to OT and there would be a different spin on this game. Zion is talented but can he shoot is the real question. He really is a man playing among boys but can he step up and knock down outside shots. I said questions about him would not get answered by what he does in college and I stand by that statement. Reddish has the traits yet lacks the cutthroat approach unlike his teammate K benched him and he’s arguably there best three point shooter has to become better defensively but he has the tools to be the best of the three. I side with KB in that reddish is the guy I would take. Rui is sneaky decent but his shooting is what’s holding him back. I

15 games in ? This what we’re doing now ? Like every shooter doesn’t have slumps ? Like CP3 didn’t 28% ?
You cherry pick the few rookie PGs who did well, but what about the many other All Star PGs that didn’t ?
It’s funny people are freaking out over Trae and pierce. They both are learning on the job. I thought it was a good job by pierce the other night when he pulled Trae after the two long threes. Teaching moment. That said many of us mentioned that he wasn’t a curry clone. He’s finding his way and pierce is allowing him to also it’s just 15 games in.

You can thank Tony Ressler for that.
Can I really though seems there are two narratives coming from that. Somebody wanted a superstar and somebody was offended. Mixed in with middling signings and and aging core and poof you have a full rebuild on hand. I lean toward blaming bud though decent coach but way in over his head exec.

So, you are happy with a losing culture?
Bud is one of the best culture builders in the NBA. Look at how he has already changed the culture in Milwaukee.
Let's see how much these players like each other when they are staring 5-23 in the face in a few weeks.
Yeah that culture was great when horford walked out the door. And don’t start that nonsense about Howard being brought in as the reason for him leavin.

Of course . . "Hasheem" Bol would destroy my Orangemen.
Dolfan rolling over in his Hawksquawk grave. The Cuse got exposed big time in these MSG games.
Lol. I said he’d be a project but what if.

Wouldn't that mean that Zion is the "special one", and not Redish?
If college coaches in the best conference in the nation will have a hard time defending him, that's says a lot about Zion's "special talent", than anything else.
Some of ya'll are overthinking this Zion thing. You all know elite talent when you see it.
I m not over thinking it with Trae, Collins, Huerter and spellman reddish would prolly be the better fit. His three point shooting and ability to take over games makes this easier for Trae while making him look better to me. Zion is good if he can shoot it from deep then yes he would be a good fit.otherwise I go with the six 9 guy that can bomb from deep.

You don’t think Prince-Zion-Collins would work? Especially when you look at teams like the Warriors starting 6’7 Draymond Green at C in the playoffs, Cavs starting 6’10 Tristan Thompson at C, Rockets playing 6’6 PJ Tucker at PF and C etc.
In terms of playing against embid and some of the others no. Usually though draymond is starting with a big of some sort and plays center as the game goes along when they go small.

An honest assessment of Trae. I think he looks better once that secondary ball handler shot creator is found for us. Defense he has shown some signs though of being competent. Like getting a couple turnovers when teams try to post him up.

I think Royjr was saying that last year when he was correct that Philly would make the playoffs.
He just hates taking we as I despise paying a middling aging core. If the hawks take Zion Collins would be traced. Which I also said last year what do you see from Collins and prince and he said I was anti Collins. Zion is better than Collins and he ain’t coming off the bench the only thing him and LeBron have in common is the have grown man physiques to go along with being talented. With reddish, Jones, and Barrett teams will not force Zion into shooting threes which is the biggest mystery to his game can he go out to the perimeter and be good. Also when if KB thought about half of what he said before he goes all they tanked they won’t have success he’d have seen too that philli. Would be a playoff team.

Gotta admit Cleveland getting their 4th #1 pick since 03 would make me mad.
I honestly wouldn’t be mad at this I want the two pick honestly and I’m on record saying I will take reddish over Barrett and Zion.
Why aren't we Excited!!!

No more excited about not every wing and backcourt going for career nights against us. I said as much on twitter hunters counting stats prolly won’t be there but him and murray tandem along with healthy Clint should make for a much improved defense.
