[quote]traded Ball for Lauri.[/quote] Dude you will never let this go lol...
In 4 years. This the first time they even got out the first round. Thats not called a proven track record. Hes a great talent, he’s ascending and right now is better than Zion. But he basically doesn’t have any kind of record in my opinion....
[quote]ANT has a proven track record and is only getting better.[/quote] Hes been great this year but befire this year he had lost in the first round. What proven track record are you actually talking about? I love ANT but you’re extremely caught up in the hype if you’re saying he has a proven tr...
[quote]I'm glad you're finally starting to speak on this, too. People have their opinions of me and will refuse even the simplest of logic from me because it doesn't support their instant emotions. To me, CJ is he piece causing problems. He is our point guard who can't handle lead guard duties when ...
[quote]It's also a role thing. He was asked for large stretches to play point in Willie's plodding offense. That means he spends his effort probing the paint and dishing to cutters and open shooters. That means he isn't standing there waiting for open catch-and-shoot opportunities. Him putting up mo...
[quote]I think this is an overreaction . You think he was actually purposely sabotaging the team?[/quote] Obviously he wasn’t purposely trying to sabotage the team but he was purposely not listening to coaches and doing what he individually thinks is best for him and not whats best for the team....

[quote]We're an 11 seed at best and not even good enough for the play in without CJ this season, but go off.[/quote] CJ had a solid regular season but I don’t think the question is what are we without CJ? Its more like can we upgrade from CJ especially in regards to what we’re paying him and the ...
[quote]That would be about 10 more wins for zion over the same amount of games BI has played.[/quote] Im not even sure this helps your argument. BI has played 287 games and is barely by one game over .500. Meanwhile Zion has played in only 184 games (about 100 less than BI) and is already 14 ...
[quote] If you really dont think he’s a big reason for Pels increasing wins each year, I don’t know what more to say.[/quote] You’re framing it more as BI is the major reason for those wins- I think thats a false narrative. There are ton of other big reasons we have those wins as well- Herb defen...
[quote]BI doesn't need to be traded because he's a bad player[/quote] Hes just not good enough in todays nba. The guy never shoots 3s, isn’t an impact defender, and refuses to adapt his game to the team or situation. Yes he can score- when he doesn’t have a physical defender on him- but thats ...
[quote]For sure a real big reason[/quote] Last season with Zion and without BI- we were a top team in west; he got injured we lost in play-in with BI. This season point Zion was carrying us- BI came back and lost every game other than Kings he played in. We were swept because BIs inept offensi...
[quote]I dunno, for sure he's held him accountable for getting wins which has increased each year.[/quote] Huh you think BI was the sole reason we increased our wins each year? ...

[quote]Can't believe the pels got rid of him.[/quote] Knicks have given him a much bigger role than most teams would have. I mean the guy played 48 minutes. Even blazer fans got annoyed by him because he was a reluctant shooter. Im happy for Hart that he found a perfect fit for himself in New Yor...
[quote]The biggest issue I've always had with Willie was accountability. Holding guys accountable. For me, he took a big step in siting BI that caused this "exchange" and when he benched BI and CJ in the Laker game.[/quote] It took Willie 3 years to hold BI accountable. Meanwhile JV or Trey immed...

[quote]No. He won't. But that doesn't mean he can't be a critical player on a championship team.[/quote] I agree somewhat. I think a lot of it will depend on his dribble/creation. His dribble is awkward right now and even his floaters/layups seem forced. If he can get the minutes to fine tune th...

[quote]Gobert wins on his past not his play now. [/quote] Honestly to me Gobert been more mobile this year than hes been in past years. In fact, hes not being played off the floor like he was in Utah and hes also a huge defensive leader on the best defensive team in the league. I know people h...

[quote]Disagree. Brunson is fun to watch, true floor general. SGA patented the jerk the head back flop[/quote] Are we mad that these players take advantage of todays nba rules or is it the fact our stars aren’t smart enough to do the same? I can promise you CP3 in his prime on this team would do ...

[quote]It was a “good season”, but in a lot of ways, it was as more of the same.[/quote] Yet you rather watch the rockets a team that couldn’t make the play-in. Not really understanding your logic here....
[quote]Run a modern offense?[/quote] This may happen without BI just saying. Not sure about the other stuff....

[quote]This is the difference. They won't let him molest Doncic for every minute he's in the floor.[/quote] The difference is the Mavs head coach will actively yell at the ref regards to Dort and Doncic will be better at drawing fouls and fighting with refs in regards to him as well. ...
