And here is where that ranks in the entire NBA (26th out of 572 players): Trae has the same distance miles as Steph Curry on offense. The difference is he does most of his with the ball while Steph does most without. But some basic math shows the allocation like this: Trae on Offense: 3,250 feet per game WITH BALL / 4,140 feet per game WITHOUT BALL Steph on Offense: 2,200 feet per game WITH BALL / 5,190 feet per game WITHOUT BALL Bottom line: Claiming Trae does nothing but stand around on offense without the ball is patently false.

Nothing would make me happier this offseason than to see him shipped away for some mixture of players who can replace his shooting and upgrade his on ball defense and nonexistent rebounding and playmaking. He really is the weak link that’s holding this team back and no amount of weak metric stats can change what the eye test is telling us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae's inability to go left and use his injured hand. Why bring him back but not sign Vit for the playin. Talked DJ, Hunter, Capela. Need for JJ to up his conditioning since he's played limited games since high-school. Good Stuff! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you using 'big' words for us simple folk. You know he won't though. You made ne look it up: Bloviate: talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way. . This might be my word of the offseason. .....so and so is bloviating, again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bad look while Landry is hammering home character and connectedness. On top of the massive turd of a play in game he turned in. I don't hate Hunter but it might be good for a change of scenery for both parties. He'd probably do well in Denver or Cleveland. Not sure who we replace him with though unless we go after BI.

The numbers are what they are. They don't lie. Reading your post and this quote comes to mind... "The fool is the one that sees the facts, knows the truth, but still believes the lies." An old Eagles song also comes to mind... "Ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with Hunter and his value here is there is no one capable of backing him up or replacing him if he’s hurt or traded. Unless they move JJ to more SF, but then we have the same issue at PF. I wouldn’t mind if we moved him, but we need to go after more than one player to replace him. BI is a good start, but we would need a capable back up. Honestly, BI starting and Hunter backing him up off the bench may actually be the best scenario. Both are injury prone and both are capable of starting when the other misses time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's like 60 million in the SF position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
