[quote]Nuggets ran out of gas vs Wolves[/quote] Denver got their asses kicked in games 1 and 2 and were lucky to not get swept. [quote]To be honest, this has turned out to be a weak year for the West.[/quote] The west was much weaker last year. Denver got to face Minnesota without McDaniel...

[quote]Trae is a real ceiling raiser.[/quote] Absolutely. [quote]IMO, Murray or Garland don't raise the ceiling very much. [/quote] I disagree about Murray. He can definitely raise our defensive ceiling without sacrificing offense. And his contract allows for the possibility of another big ...
[quote]Let's just also remember the TWolves front office still had a historically bad trade to get Goebert.[/quote] LOL. That "historically bad trade" netted 2 of the 5 starters on the WCF team, eliminated the team cancer that D'Angelo Russell was becoming, created the minutes to allow Jaden McDa...

[quote]23/5/5. 1 FG different. He did similar 4 years in a row prior to this season when Zion finally played.[/quote] Ingram has put up nearly identical numbers as Zach Lavine with worse efficiency and worse defense. He has also been dominated by every good defender in the league. Trae Young h...

[quote]But, as for BI, 25/5/5 guys with good shooting and 3-level scoring are rare. [/quote] They're rare enough to not belong in this conversation. BI is a 19/4/5 guy who plays 60 games a year....

[quote]well then tough shite. I"m not trading for Trae Young without keeping Herb.[/quote] I agree 100%. That's why I said Griffin is going to have to earn his money ...

[quote]ATL only wanted Herb so he could play with Trae. I doubt they care as much about getting Herb if they are keeping Murray instead of Trae. Trae and Herb have to play together. Trae can't work without Herb.[/quote] Pairing Trae and Herb was likely their intention, but Atlanta wants to get...

[quote]Trae would absolutely be my number 1 target this offseason if I was Griff, but I don't know if he has to balls to do it.[/quote] Trading Ingram and picks for Trae Young is a no brainer. It might even be an easier decision than picking Wembanyama #1. Griffin is going to have to earn his ...
It's not that the team is choosing Zion over Ingram, that's not even a decision. The Pelicans are choosing Trey Murphy over Ingram, and it's absolutely the right choice. ...

[quote]Also, looking at the tweets from that NBATradeReport that tweeted about the Wizards being interested in BI, that account tweets a lot of "rumors" that no one else has ever reported on, so seems like we shouldn't put any stock into it, other than just discussing options for fun.[/quote] The...
[quote] CJ might be worse defensively than Trae. They can’t play together. It would be fine in the regular season but playoff time they would get destroyed.[/quote] If Poole and Curry can play together successfully in the playoffs, it can be done....
[quote]Let's just say you trade BI to Atlanta for Trae/Capella or Ogonkwu... Is trading CJ + Parts + Picks a must at that point to balance the roster?[/quote] That depends entirely on Gayle Benson and CJ McCollum. CJ off the bench would be a great luxury if he is ok with it. But that is only h...

[quote]Is there any path to a trade with the Wizards? Would they even be remotely interested in a guy like BI? I doubt they would move 2. Is Tyus Jones still under contract? Do they want to dump a contract like Kuzma? If Kuzma is considered a negative asset, could we give BI, (young player?), 21,...

[quote]We know this draft is not good. We should have traded BI last summer for a top pick in last years draft. The disconnect is that you’re way overvaluing BI. It’s a huge risk for a team to take a guy with one year on his contract who wants a max contract. Especially when that guy has proven he d...
[quote]on a super low deal [/quote] WTF? 35 million isn't super low for a 1 time all star. The idea that Ingram should get more than what Mikal Bridges and Dejounte Murray extended for is simply ludicrous....
[quote]Is there a realistic number that you’d guys wouldn’t mind keeping him on?[/quote] The 4 year, 114 million dollar extension that Dejounte Murray signed is the ceiling for me. It is clear we can get a comparable player who is a better fit for that price, so that would be my red line....

I'm not convinced that Trae Young or Walker Kessler trades would be entertained by their respective teams, but I would trade just about anything to put them around Zion, Herb, and Trey. I'd also love to keep at least 3 of Dyson, Hawk, CJ and Jose on that team, but none would be deal breakers. ...
[quote]That means he spends his effort probing the paint[/quote] I agree with you about the lack of a point guard and CJ's limitations. I agree with you regarding Willie's WTF offense. But, Ingram spends literally zero effort probing the paint. And while he makes some nice passes to cutters, he f...
