Premium Member Diesel Posted June 20, 2022 Premium Member Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Let's put together some of this puzzle shall we.... Bogi/#16 to Detroit for Grant. A few days later.... CC/Kev to Minny for Russell and a future first... (This move opens cap space... + whatever we do with Gallo). JC/Future 1st to Phoenix for Ayton. After the smoke clears: Trae/Shariffe Russell/Delon (I hope). Hunter/Knox or TLC?? Grant/JJ Ayton/OO Maybe we're talking to the Kings trying to get Davion Mitchell via Trade? Or maybe we're using them to Force Phoenix' hand. That's right, we didn't do anything with Gallo? Somewhere there may be a BU OG/SF that can be had for Gallo...

Schlenk's comments for two years now have suggested he believes smaller post players are going to become convention. That conviction first came to light after MIA won their rings.

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted June 20, 2022 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I can see OO at PF. I actually think that has to be his position as a starter. He's simply too small to be a full time center. My fear though is we have no idea if he can shoot the ball. He has incredible soft touch around the rim. He has the makings of a low post game. He shoots ok at the stripe which I am a firm believer that means it can translate to at least hitting mid range jumpers. But him starting at PF while we have Ayton at center? Oh boy. I know Ayton has a mid range jumper so I suppose we can just move the pieces around but the giant step for JC was his ability to become a near 40% or better three point shooter and his defense picking up. For OO he needs to have at least a mid range jumper and his rebounding has to improve. Drastically improve for that matter. Moving him to PF and letting Ayton body up on bigger bodies would definitely help OO on the rebound front. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) This is losing the common sense. Looking at the team, I think Bogi or Huerter and Gallo need to go. Why? We need a better fit at SG and another wing defender, Bogi and Huerter are the same player and we are destroyed with them on the floor. Gallo needs to go to clear cap space for OO and JJ, if posible upgrade defense as well. We don't need to trade Capela or Collins, they perform well on defense and offense and are positives for the team. You just trade them for upgrades. We need to keep things clear, Grant and DLo are not upgrades and are more expensive, that is not a improvement Edited June 20, 2022 by gurpilo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to cap hell and it only cost us trading half of our team to get there. I'm not stuck on Grant.. as if played right, he's replaced by JJ. D-Lo may earn his keep. As far as trading the whole team.. read my post.. my preference is to keep JJ and CC and just bring in a Big Big either through the draft or FA. IN FAcy there are plenty. I don't think we need Ayton. I don't think Ayton is much better than Clint overall. IF at all. But if this is the direction that the rumors are pointing.. this makes some sense. DeLo.. 2ndary Ball handler who plays defense. I don't really like Grant but I heard about that trade (Grant going elsewhere) before the Ayton or Gobert talk got hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurpilo Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) I think is very likely allí this is a smoke screen and most likely there is another trade we have no news about It or we keep the team and make a good selection at 16, I would like Tari Eason, BU SF solved and we just need a starting SG, Bogi, Huerter and Gallo are the trade pieces.

He has Bam Wingspan and height. He's about 15 lbs less and if he can convert 10 lbs of Muscle, he'd be C. 17 minutes ago, Peoriabird said: That is an expensive play in team All that scoring??

Travis doesn't need to tip his hand on his projected selection. https://grantland.com/features/analyzing-kawhi-leonard-george-hill-trade-2013-conference-finals/ How does one make a trade without letting it be know who you want in the trade? You can only play coy for so long. Edited June 20, 2022 by bleachkit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
