[quote]If Trey can develop into that 2[/quote] I don’t understand when TM3 has been a 2 most of his career here. He really started playing more frontcourt when team decided Zion is wing/point. TM3 played a ton of 4, and although not a paint protector, held his own in the scheme and became a very...

Be careful what you wish for. Pels were ahead of Mavs majority of the year. Mavs picked up players that filled roles that they needed (Gafford and Washington). Pels sat on their hands. Simple as that....

[quote]So you've got two paths you can go down with a BI trade[/quote] For sure, probably a couple more options if you want to expand a trade. ...

[quote]Bi is not some AD level player that can dictate where he is going[/quote] Doesn’t have to be. He’s what the market says he Is (generating quite a bit interest currently), moreso than Trae, and can signal who he’d sign an extension with. Trading partners will offer up a buy or rental pric...

[quote]Trae/CJ/Jose Herb/Hawk Trey/Dyson Zion/Naji/EJ FA/FA/Karlo[/quote] This scenario one of Hawk, Dyson, Jose move to reserve roles with Naji, EJ, and Karlo. You have to play your backup big significant minutes unless your thinking Zion, Naji or TM3 will be able to handle post minutes....

[quote]Tell me if y'all think this is close.[/quote] Pretty close imo, although you have to do something with CJ if you acquire Trae....

[quote]Yeah but BI is no where near Kyrie[/quote] OK, that's my point. Talent evaluation and coaching is a real thing, most wouldn't have said the gulf in talent was that much just a year ago. But now one is trash and the other is treasure. Can you see how fickle-minded talent evaluation is? ...

[quote]Question is will Pels have the balls to take advantage.[/quote] Better hope they use their brains, as well as, their balls. Got a lot of flack earlier from the ship em off to Siberia for a haul crowd, explaining the nuance of trades. You don’t excoriate and devalue your asset for trade, ...

Griff is not looking good at all. Dallas, who Pels were ahead of for the majority of the season, with less assets, looks to be heading to the NBA finals. All without a blockbuster move. Griff is slick though, got everyone salivating over a an upcoming super duper six team roll of the dice. Just c...

[quote]Correct, and we are an average West team, a play in team[/quote] I can’t really disagree too much, Pels were eighth. However, difference in 4-10 was a matter of a few games and Pels blew more games than anyone in the West. You have to be astute with changes or whatever success you’ve had...
