No. You gave me one guy and his opinion which is clearly not some end all be all, especially considering his ridiculous opinion on some of the guys he had higher than Zion. ...

[quote]Nonetheless, I've shown evidence of folks who think Allen is better and has more trade value.[/quote] I showed you 15 guys who defend against their opponent the same or better than Allen playing the 5, and there were a few who are very easily attainable for us for a lot less than giving up...

[quote]See the examples already given of the Trade value column and composite player rankings.... [/quote] which one? The one that has Zion ranked 33rd, behind people like Franz Wagner and Sengun, and Brandon Miller, and just slightly ahead of BI at 36th in regards to his percieved trade value?...

[quote]No I mentioned him playing the backup PF role which he has. He has also played small 5 (terribly). We are more than likely going to see a cheap backup at the backup 5 (obviously). [/quote] Anytime Larry has played the 4 for us, it's been terrible. Dyson is not a backup 4 for anyone. Ye...

[quote]Aaron Gordon is basically the backup center for Jokic in the playoffs. Against the wolves that will change but thats how it was all of last year. [/quote] That's b/c they have no bench, which if they don't win it all this year, will be the main reason why. I could see them thinking ...

So he wants 4/$220M and the Clippers have reportedly offered him slightly less than that. Sounds like PG wants to maximize his earnings and this is his last chance for that huge contract. If he's declining his $48M for next year to sign a new deal, sounds like the Sixers and Magic have alread...

[quote]The argument people have made is that we need CJ for being able to hit 3s because enough attempts leave with BI going. [/quote] Trey takes CJ's starting 3's attempted. Jordan Hawkins replaces Trey's bench 3's. Find a replacement for BI that takes more 3's. Do that and we shoot more ...

[quote]And Jarrett Allen is a good defensive big who averaged 17 and 11 on 63% from the field with a 66% TS%, and is a 1x All Star. [/quote] I"m not saying he isn't good, or that i wouldn't want him. We have too many other assets to give up if we want him, and there are other 5's in the league...

[quote]They couldn't get the right deal that worked for them, which is very different from they couldn't get anything. [/quote] You're reading that as they got good offers, they just wanted more. The reality is, they got shite offers. Deangelo Russel and a future first Fournier, Grimes and a...

They are at $174M right now. The tax line is $171M That's with CP3 and no Klay. That's 11 players. If they let CP3 go, they still need to resign Klay, and here's the big one, they actually have to get better. So they let CP3 go and they are $27M under the tax with 10 rostered players, and are goi...
