    This is bullshit and it's why no one takes you seriously.

    Jalen Green. I've said it a million times before the draft and after.

    MJ spent 3 years in college so it's body frame and production by
    both at age 19.....leaping ability....scoring.... approximate heights....
    body control.

    Same with Kobe.

    I said back then that Kobe and Jordan played in an era where it was
    more physical and added weight was preferred. Now the league is
    thinner on the average so Green getting to Jordans weight of 190
    pounds will make Jalen Green MJ-lite and Kobe-lite.

    Look at the the receipts, I bought and paid for them. I said once Jalen Green adds about
    10 pounds of muscle and gets to about age 21 he will own this league. As did Kobe-Jordan.

    Sit back and you will see. I will let Jalen do the talking for himself.
    I've put up Kobe numbers at age 19 and Jalen and they were much the
    same per trajectory. Jordan-Kobe could absorb contact better due to the
    added weights but Jalen is a better shooter. Check Jordans 3-pt percentage
    over his first 4 years in the league (after 3 years in college).

    Many Lakers players didn't like Kobe because he tried so hard to imitate
    MJ....from the way he walked to the way MJ talked. I can link an
    article if you like.

    So yes both are interchangeable.
    MJ and Kobe.....then Jalen Green in a lighter weight era. I can link an article
    that took the average height and weight of players by position over 4 or 5
    decades which showed how SG average about 190 pounds. Higher during
    MJ and Kobe's time or era.

    After the Pistons implemented the Jordan rules in the playoffs which was
    knock Jordan down every chance you get.....Jordan hit the weight room
    to get stronger. Well documented fact. Look it up. Jordan as not the killer
    Jordan in the beginning. Neither was Kobe. Black Mamba came later after
    he took tap dancing lessons to get faster foot work after year 3.
    ----------------------------------------------------

    Player...mins..FG%...3P%...FT%...TRB...blk...stl...Ast...pts...TOV...
    Kobe......25.8......40.9....32.1...80.5....2.9....0.6....0.8..2.7...13.7...2.1....
    Jalen......31.6 .....42.6....34.5...79.5....3.5....0.3....0.7..2.8...16.8...1.8...
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bryanko01/gamelog/1998/

    These are numbers from Kobe age 19 second season and Jalen Green age 19
    in first season [ last 40 games for both in their respective seasons ...excluding tonight's
    game in which Jalen got 32 points ]

    and Kobe started 6 games his first season....then 1 game in his second season.
    Which means Kobe mostly came off the bench and faced second stringers.

    Seems like you have a habit of attacking other people’s thoughts instead of dropping your own.

    kinda lazy

    Mobley Mob with that death grip. Respect. Evan will be a very good pro for a long time.

    Jalen will be a household name.

    If you think its attacking, that says a lot more about you than me.

    I will play along, isn't my supposed attack dropping my thoughts?

    If you think I don't drop my own thoughts, you have not read any of my post.

    I'll give them Matthews and a Brooklyn pick.
    We need a bigger Tate that can score 14 and grab 9 boards because he is over 6'5.
    And we will still need to grab a big in free agency to do the rim protecting and carry Mobley.
    Ivaca Zubac
    Sengun
    Mobley
    Green
    KPJ

    I'm not liking my lineup but them boyz in Memphis would make it work.

    If we're being serious, I'd trade our lottery pick this year and next year's Milwaukee 2023 for Mobley provided that the lottery pick isn't top 4. If it's #5, I'll gladly ship that over to Cleveland for Mobley and have him play a big 3 like how you have it.

    Jalen Green can be the #1 option on a contender in the future

    Mobley on the other hand

    This year’s pick was the hard part and I said “maybe.” I was on the fence on what protections. The BKN pick is more valuable now too.

    Without this year’s pick I’d still do that trade in my OP without a second thought today even though I’m much higher on JayGup and Green than I was in November.

    If Stone hypothetically ever considered such a lop sided trade, he should be fired immediately.

    Thank goodness he ain't that insane.

    You think Cleveland would accept that?

    The only reason they would be hesitant is that there is something more special about your own draft selection and fan attachment.

    But in terms of picks and talent swapping, it's incredibly one sided in favor of Cleveland.

    Hey let’s trade a key piece from our young ~45 win team to get the core of the worst team in the league, a mid first round pick and a likely late first!

    Naw. There’s no way they’d consider that.
