Cam Reddish defensive goals:

 

 

He’s more of a Kobe style defender to me. I loved Tony Allen despite him being a Celt for a while. Pit bull though.

Kobe was the type of the defender, you couldn't do the same thing twice. Reddish is an Allen type for me. Just a 100% pest who's movement and instincts is through the roof.

The Trae Young disrespect is unreal!  It's why I took a small sabactical from realgm. 

I’d prefer Trae for 2 reasons. I like my point guards to be able to be elite passers and shooters from everywhere on the court. Ja definitely possesses the passing skill, but Trae’s shooting is superior. 
 

present rating:

Trae 91

Ja 84-86

future rating:

Trae 95-98

Ja 93-98

 

I do have a lot of respect for Ja’s game because it comes from the way the game should be played off instincts in a natural style. He plays a very aggressive game as opposed to Trae’s “killinem softly” approach.
 

In 3-5 years, Trae and Ja will be the top 2 point guards in the league if not sooner.

 

I actually predicted we would face the Grizz in the NBA finals in 2022 or 2023. Oh man, what a matchup.

You do realize Ja is just the favor of the month and they are doing this in a trolling way. It is annoying especially when Trae is the most doubled player in the NBA. 

Flavor of the month? No sir, Ja is the real deal. This ain't no flash in the pan.

[Spud2nique]

If we did a redraft of all players in the league right now, Ja would go top 6.

Giannis

Trae

Luka

Ja

Zion

Embiid

Ya the ordering might be mixed I just think these are the elite 6 moving forward the next 5 years.

If it’s not that one I’m hoping for what the world is hoping for...

Trae vs Luka  
 

It’s like Rocky IV all over again. Trae will have to train in Slovenia in the snow

How can you argue against something this stupid??? I'd feel like an idiot trying to convince somebody that JC is better than Damian "I don't know how to basketball" Jones. I guarantee whoever posted that will double down on this stupidity if you challenged them on this clearly wrong hot take. The General board over there is a lost cause.

I am assuming they are using the per100 advanced stats which are radically skewed on Jones. This then warps his win shares and vorp. 
Using per100 jones has an offensive rating of over 130

regardless they are on crack
