re: The Official Trade Proposal Thread

[quote]I'm not saying it didn't, but it's no where near as much as all of the bias people here think. [/quote]
I'm actually going to say it didn't. BI failed at putting a team on his back with no other star to help. Nobody trading for BI will be looking for him to carry a team, let alone by him...

I also think people assume the defense won't work without Herb. Sure Herb was essential to offsetting 4 non plus defenders in the starting lineup, but depending on the trades that are made, you might be cutting a lot of defensive dead weight from the starting lineup.
I hope they can find a 3rd t...

Blink is one of the better budget friendly camera systems and you don't have to have a cloud subscription to use it. They are owned by Amazon so the cameras are also pretty cheap if you wait for an Amazon device sale which happens at least every 2-3 months. The cameras are battery operated too, wh...

[quote] i do think there's issues that happened to close the season that may be beyond fixing and BI doesn't want to be here anymore, and we also don't want him here anymore.[/quote]
We always seem to over estimate the personal fractures, but I do think it's reasonable to guess that BI doesn't wa...

The reaction is surprisingly over the top. I guess creative types, who are a big part of Apple's market, are kind of precious about their physical tools, because you'd think they were ...

And if BI was a better fit, then CJ would be in line to be moved unless they are prepared to be a heavy tax team. If they swap BI for another high priced player, say KAT or Donovan Mitchell, CJ is likely gone. But if they tu...

[quote]Exactly why i have a feeling BI's trade value is going to be shockingly low.
You have to fit your style around BI[/quote]
I disagree with this. A big part of the problem with his fit here is he was handed the keys to the team when Jrue left, and with Zion's spotty availability/fitness,...

BI doesn't need to be traded because he's a bad player, he needs to be traded because his natural style is not a fit with how the team needs to play to maximize what they are doing.
If you could guarantee me that a heart to heart between the brain trust and BI would have Ingram come in and make ...

If Cleveland trades Mitchell it's because they think he won't resign with them because its been known he wants to go to a big market. You can't trade anything significant for a rental....

[quote]He finished 5th behind all Centers.
He's the best defensive guard/ wing in the NBA [/quote]
10 people voted him top 3 in the DPOY race. Every player behind him on the list got 3 or fewer votes. That seems like significant separation from the other wing defenders....

I always thought that the Willie potentially to the Front Office rumor seemed weird and out of nowhere until we found out that they had secretly extended him. It might be easier for Griff to hide W...

This is what I think Griff needs to have a handle on before he does anything else this summer. Shamit mentioned it in a review of Willie today.

re: Pels listed as 2nd most likely to land Jimmy Butler

[quote]Not sure Butler even makes any sense at all for us.[/quote]
He really doesn't. If Miami doesn't want to pay him, why should the Pels want to? Also, it seems like he and Zion would have the same conflicting "who's really #1" issue. I wouldn't even want Jimmy for free. Him calling soft p...
re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction

There are 2 kinds of teams that would value Ingram more than Murray, and neither type is focused on money. The near contenders that are already "In for a penny, in for a pound", and the rebuilding teams that are tired of rebuilding and want to accelerate. Fortunately there appear to be multiple o...

I wasn't trying to imply that, nor am I saying Hawkins is a future superstar. I was saying that between his shot making skills and his IT factor, I think he ...
re: Windhorst says Philly is monitoring the Brandon Ingram situation
Posted by TigerinATL on 5/6/24 at 3:01 pm
Even though Dyson can hold his own against bigs on switches, him being a permanent backup big should not be plan A. And I say that as someone that can see him bulking up long term and being a small ball 5. But that's in small doses. He's an elite wing defender, using him against back up bigs regu...
