[quote]A BI trade to HOU centered around Jalen Gree, gross. If Sengun isn't coming back, there's no BI to HOU deal I like.[/quote] Green-Whitmore-Eason is a pretty solid return for BI. I get people don't like Jalen, but people don't like BI either. Jalen is erratic and still has a lot...

[quote]hey cannot have a draft pick in a weak draft be the primary compensation for Ingram, even if it were the #1 pick. That's just a hard sell to the players and the fans that you will be better this season after trading someone they all respect and value a lot in BI for an unknown. You have to at...
[quote]seems that way but I saw a repor that the Cavs didn’t want to trade Jarrett Allen because of the chemistry he had with Donovan Mitchell who they are building their team around. BI would be a great fit for them but you couldn’t just trade BI for Garland. You’d have to at least get picks back w...

Zion has growth left as a playmaker. His assists per 100 possessions has gone from 3.5 --> 5.3 --> 6.7 --> 7.8. I believe with a healthy and in shape off-season for Zion combined with him becoming the guy for the Pels (assuming a BI trade) and Griff forcing Willie to play more shooters, Zion's pla...

re: Zach Edey

Posted by NOFOX on 5/18/24 at 10:51 am
We won’t have 2 firsts. We will have #21. Taking a flyer on Edey that late isn’t a big deal. You’d have some upperclassmen that fall and some other C’s available, but whomever we pick at #21 in this draft is unlikely to make much impact. Not my preference, but Edey can at least be a situational b...

re: Darius garland or Trae young

Posted by NOFOX on 5/16/24 at 3:29 pm
[quote]I get this, but if it doesn't work, his value goes negative and we basically have to blow it all up and start over. You could say the same with all of these guys, but Trae has the biggest volatility and the most likely chance to have his value completely tank.[/quote] I think Garland ha...
It doesn’t say they think Ingram is more valuable than Trae, just that there will be more interested teams. Makes sense as not many teams have interest in a small ball dominant guard. Ingram is a long wing that ostensibly won’t cost as much as Trae. ...

re: I want Nikola Topic on this team

[quote]Topic is slightly smaller, less athletic, MUCH worse at defense and rebounding, and very possibly worse at shooting. Is Topic THAT much better at finishing and passing to make up for all that he lacks?[/quote] I love Dyson, but he’s not Topic. Topic is light years ahead of Dyson in terms ...

re: Josh Hart is clutch

So much Josh Hart talk because he’s on a heater and playing with Brunson, but regular season Hart shot 31% from 3 and 43% from the field scoring 9.4 ppg. That’s Dyson Daniels level offense (31%, 45%). ...

[quote]Lmao[/quote] I get it, but general managers have admitted to perusing the RealGM trades forum. The criticisms of Ingram are all valid. No one here wants to max Ingram for the same reasons. You can expand this out to NBA pod/radio hosts and writers too. Ingram is mostly viewed as a l...
