The "franchise player" debate has been settled. It's Amen.

The issue with this list is 3 of those teams have legit MVP franchise leading guys and one of them has possibly found theirs in this draft.

I wonder which team is the odd one out.

 

one team aint gonna make the playoffs

 

We can’t still be in this group. Two years ago beased off potential but after this years postseason performance where it was primarily the youth core against old man LeBron and scrubs and we got washed…….
For us it’s definitely quantity over quality at this point otherwise Orlando might have the better youth cote

 

So you don’t think our young is good because we didn’t advance past the first round of the playoffs and think the Magic’s core is better…a team that didn’t advance past the first round of the playoffs.

 

The teams all have franchise guys. You won't win without that. The Rockets simply don't. The best player on OKC, SAS and Detroit is better than the Rockets two best players combined. It's a cute graph that might make a casual fan think they are close but it isn't close at all.

 

Sengun and Amen dont complement each other on offense. One has to go unless Sengun learns to shoot. Ideally the team goes all in on Amen as the focal point because its the fastest way to a contender this team has. If Jabari could actually be the stretch 5 that was promised and we surround Amen with something like Reed/Jabari/Murphy/A Mikal Bridges Type, we'd have something resembling actual roster construction.

Lots of ifs though.

 

Meh. The Wizards don't really yet. The Magic don't - Paolo and Franz are not better than Sengun and Amen. I think Cade is pretty overrated - I could absolutely see Amen ending up better than him.

 

Paolo sucks and is extremely over paid. Both Sengun and Amen are better than Paolo and Jabari is pretty close at less than half the cost. Franz and Cade are really good, but I wouldn’t trade Amen straight up for them, because of potential. I think Cade and Franz are about at their ceiling.

 

I was looking at a list of contracts that are considered NBAs worst. it is basically DeAron Fox at the top and then a few top 20 level players that got super paid. and looking at some of those deals I was trying to see which player I would take on most happily, knowing that the deal is pretty underwater.

you also have to keep in mind that that is seemingly not how we are operating on the contract front so it wouldn’t set us up Thompson. I would be trying to figure out a way to do Thompson’s extension ASAP. And it’s just way too early to speculate on what sort of contract Reed will end up deserving.

I come back to Orlando a lot.

Data and eye test generally point to Wagner as the better player, but I also feel like he is kind of been allowed to be secondary where the pressure has been on Paulo. personally I would be interested in acquiring one of the two or even Bane. They may be right, where we are at as far as allowing the young players to grow together, but it seems to me like they would break up Wagner and Banchero soon.

I am not sure what their organizational plan is. I am under the impression that sucks is a terrible contract and that his health issues are likely to persist.

so I just don’t know what direction they are heading. Carter stands out as another player on their roster that could probably have some purpose on our team.

I wonder what Orlando would want in a trade for Banchero, Wagner or Bane?

 

Banchero is a horrible fit on our team. He does nothing better than Alpi at a much higher price. Wagner is great and I like Bane as well.

 

Not sure how Orlando ended up in the conversation but I agree. Cade is not overrated he is all the Pistons have and is a MVP caliber player and everyone in the NBA would take him over any 2 combination of players Houston has. I wish fans were realistic with their views of their own teams players.

 

Paolo has Jalen Green shot selection.

 

“Cade is overrated”

Sht no one would say if he was Rocket

Y’all’s boy Ameiz is pretty ****ing overrated. Be playin’ 25 minutes like his brother if his head coach wasn’t his basketball terrorist twin. At least Detroit ain’t dumb enough to “build around Ausar”.

Anyways, Ameiz & this “core” need to focus on being able to beat Luke Kennard & Deandre Ayton, not the Spurs & Thunder or what the Pistons & Magic are doing.

“We need to trade the starting center to accommodate the fun, explosive athlete who can’t shoot.”

Sounds familiar.

Spoiler

*laughs in Westbrick*

 

They complement each other. Amen gets his points from Sengun more than anyone else. They don't have a coach or a team that complements them. If Sengun and Amen were the only two people on this roster and someone asked you to pick a coach and players to put with them (they can't be all-stars), how many players currently on our team would still be on the roster when you're done?

 

Durant (to third team if necessary)
2027 FRP and 2029 FRP the crappy the pics both year.

For Wagner

 

"they twins therefore they're exactly the same player" LOL

so you're totally okay to swap Amen for Ausar to save money?

 

Wonder what’s taking so Long for the extension?

 

waiting for Ausar's extension

 

the inferiority complex is unbelievable on this site
