  1. I MIGHT consider KD for Hunter and Capela. That’s how little I value a diva.
  2. Why on Earth would a GM trade the #1 pick for a player in his mid-30s?
  3. I’m not trading JJ for Embiid or AD.
  4. No way we trade all of that for Embiid. Honestly, I’d be apprehensive offering the deal for Giannis. Isn’t he about to be 30? Do we not want to draft another player until 2030?
  5. I’d definitely consider that trade…. As long as my pride doesn’t get in the way. It’s like buying a tester/showroom car at the new price, driving your family down to the beach for vacation, and then selling it back when you return for the price of a 2-3 year old used car.
  6. “Don’t fold, laundry.”
  7. Quite a rollercoaster, Supes. I’m hoping wiser Wednesday and thankful Thursday follow.
  8. Had the same thought myself — I think you’re right. Sarr might start out backing up JJ and Jones. Bufkin | Jones | Sarr | OO would be a nice defensive group
  9. Come on, Pelicans… just send us Herb Jones. Let’s work with each other here. Billy Knight would be drooling over a lineup that surrounds Trae with JJ - Jones - Sarr - OO. Positionless… focus on roles.
  10. Just someone that will stand up for the team and say, “Not today, Mother%#*^%”
  11. It is a contradictory situation — I agree.
  12. I’ve never seen this— hysterical. I suppose one could respond with, “Which one is still in the league and having success?”
  13. Learning to shoot 3s in an open gym is apparently pretty easy to do.
  14. The body type reminds me of Bosh, too. Bosh had more half-court skill at this point.
  15. I actually had the exact thought regarding those three as a comparison. JJ and Marion loosely share some offensive profile; however, I recall Marion being a longer, bouncier defender (more like Sarr on defense). Amare’s post game is obviously more advanced.
  16. He does move awfully well for a 7-footer. How is his work ethic? Grit? Any evidence of his competitiveness/desire to win? How respectable of a shooter can he reasonably become? Didn’t Kawhi improve rather drastically once in the NBA? How can his body/frame change to improve explosiveness but not compromise agility and speed?
  17. I was trying to understand the comparison to HT myself. Apples and oranges
  18. The last statement (re: Gueye) just diminishes the rest.
  19. If they have to pray that lil’ owner Jr. won’t intervene, I encourage them to find a job elsewhere where they can be treated like what they were hired to do.
  20. Trading Trae to SA would be the ultimate “We messed up” declaration by the Atlanta FO.
  21. It must be a player option then — thank you for clarifying.
  22. PG and Bridges were the two that came to mind for me, too. (Obviously Herb if available) Trae | PG | Starr | JJ | OO If we went this route, we would use Murray to either upgrade at Center or (more likely) grab depth and picks.
