    Everything, huh?

    Who averaged more assists last season? Sengun.
    Who averaged more rebounds season? Sengun.
    Who's averaged more games played over the last three season? Segun.
    Who's averaged fewer TOs per game over the last three seasons? Sengun.
    Who's a better offensive hub? Sengun, by a mile. KAT's soft ass doesn't even like going down the post. Softest 7 footer I've ever seen.


    Mind you, I’m comparing a 28 yr old to a 21 yr old.

    Everyone forgets how depressed the trade returns are for stars on an expiring contract with no extension

    Don't get the Bridges fascination within our fanbase.

    I was pretty intrigued. Then he showed me that he definitely is not the guy.

    literally seeing some fans saying they would trade Jalen, Brooks, 3rd pick this year and next year's pick for Bridges and it's getting me triggered. lol

    For comparison:
    .....................................PG13............................Donovan Mitchell
    ..............................PPP....NBA percentile......PPP.......NBA percentile

    Cutter........................1.62.........95.5...................1.32.............46.6
    PnR (Ball Handler)...1.09..........94.5..................0.95.............76.3
    Spot Up.....................1.29..........93.5.................1.10..............65.0
    Put Backs..................1.29.........81.8.................-----................-------
    Post Up......................1.12.........78.1.................-----................-------
    Isolations...................1.03.........73.0.................0.93..............51.9
    Hand Offs..................0.74.........23.6.................0.98...............61.1
    Off Screen..................1.10.........68.0................0.64.................8.0
    Transitions..................------..........------................1.34................89.8

    Young doesn't necessarily mean better. Mitchell hasn't won a championship either.

    Seems to me Paul George gives us more bang for our buck

    Y’all think the 3rd + another net pick or two would get Atlanta to give us the 1st?

    We got to get Sarr to compete with the Wembys and Chet’s in our conference

    Oooooo, I know! What if the Rockets could flip that #3 and somehow get Lebron, Paul and Harden for our bench? Hey I'm just playing the dream game li Kim e everybody else.

    All this is relative to how each player is used. If the offense is solely ran thru one guy, his stats will be somewhat inflated. I'm looking at pure skill set. Sengun's only effective around the basket & has no defense whatsoever. KAT can post up AND space the floor. No coincidence the offense looked SO much better with Sengun out. The team thrives with spacing. Trade Sengun for KAT and we're a better team instantly

    KAT’s soft ass can’t post up. He’d break every bone in his soft ass body. Worst waste of 7 ft ever.

    If Harden and PG13 walk and the Clippers blow it up:

    Brooks/Adams/Tate/#3/FRP for Kawhi

    Risky, I know, but he fits and doesn’t disrupt the core’s development. Upgrading DB’s minutes should be a priority, and this is one way to do it.

    I honestly don't understand the Nets talk. I get the feeling he wants to win and is frustrated that he has not been able to in Utah or Cleveland.

    How’d Sengun do against Wemby? Can’t remember at the moment.

    So here's a question for y'all:

    Would you trade #3 straight up (with just filler) for Cason Wallace? Or if that's the role you're looking to fill, do you just draft Reed Sheppard to do so and call it a day?

    Last draft was vastly better than this draft, and I had Cason #7 on my board on draft night. I think he would definitely be in my top 5 this year. #3, I'm not sure. He did play very well in limited minutes as a rookie.

    Would OKC do this in their current position?

    If not, is there anybody you can go out and get them with #3 that they can't easily get right now themselves?

    Would you trade Bari and #3 for Paolo or Chet? Those are the kind of guys that make us better, but I doubt either ORL or OKC would consider it. I'm not sold on Donovan Mitchell wanting to be here or being the piece that makes us a championship team.

    I really don't want to send a #3 pick and assets for an aging star. I'll be surprised if we make a trade unless, UTH believes Sheppard is the second coming of Stockton and sells us Lauri.

    I don't think there is any chance whatsoever those two teams move either of those guys for anything but a top 5 player (and maybe not even then)

    Both those teams would laugh at us.
    But yes I would do that trade for either. Preferably Chet because of fit with Alp but yes to both.
