[quote]If that's what we do with a supposedly transcendental star, we're doomed to mediocrity. You're talking about a transcendental overall #1 pick becoming little more than a cutter off the ball.

Just looking at highlights and stats I'm wondering if there's a signifitcant difference between Garland and CJ? I know Garland averages more assists, but their Ast:TO ratio is pretty similar. Sure he's younger, but what does he add that the Pels don't already have or would be losing with BI going ...

That trade just doesn’t balance for me but I can’t put my finger on what needs to change. On the surface it feels like the Pels get too much value, but that’s from quantity, not quality. I can see a deal going down between these 3 teams though. They are all in similar positions of having somethi...

[quote]Would have to hope DD really improved a level or two to fill Herbs shoes. [/quote] Nobody is filling Herb's shoes. If your goal is to stop a player 1-5, even now Dyson might be the better choice. But if your goal is to stop a play, Herb is and always will be better than Dyson because Her...

[quote]Saw people kicking around the Jazz/Pels trade of: Pels get: Kessler Sexton Collins #10 Jazz get: BI Nance[/quote] Isn't Collins good for both regular rotation and redundancy though? Sexton is not the lead guard at the top of my list, but he is on the list and this trade seem...

Griff is doing his thing. I've seen even more interest in BI than I expected. ...

[quote]I’ve read SA is interested in Trae not Murray. That should tell you something since they know who he is. [/quote] Really? I read the opposite not too long ago :lol:...

[quote]We passed on the opportunity to get Murray for peanuts at the deadline. [/quote] They reportedly demanded Herb in return and that was a deal breaker. I think if the price was JV + Dyson or Hawk + 2 picks for Murray and Okongwu a deal would have been done....

Yeah they need to get some centers and maybe plug a few other holes, but high level ball handling and creation is the biggest hole the Pels need to fill, especially with BI going out in a trade. There's a pretty telling stat to find a replacement too, drives per game. The Pels at a minimum need to...

[quote]I think people are really underestimating Suggs. He’s a fantastic fit with the current roster and he’s done exactly what you want to see young guys do, he’s gotten better every year. Say he takes another jump to 15/16 points per game next year, you break up your three primary on ball below av...
