Trade Idea: Killian Hayes for KPJ?

Sure.

But u been acting like green haven't been showing any signs of development b4 u made that sht comparison. Hence y folks clown on u for even thinking green might b Corey Brewer 2.0.

Literally spent half the season comparing green to Corey Brewer. Only until all star break your tune started changing. Doesn't changed the fact that it was a stupid comparison to start with hence the folks clowning.

 

No spooner you have very bad bbiq. KPJ was our best player last year and very good on the defensive end.

 

There's a big difference between a 6'10 guy shooting 70% and your PG shooting 70%.

 

I'm one of those want to trade KPJ but not for Killian Hayes

 

I love this thread! Keep all the morons in one place so they don’t pollute the rest of the board. Now that the “Is Green too feminine?” thread fell off the homepage, we needed one of these.

Well done OP!

 

I guess.

But we are talking about a potential #1 scoring option are we not?

In any case, relax, it's not as bad as you think it is.

 

I think it will naturally balance itself out. Green will demand the ball the older & more confident he becomes, Paolo can play make, and Sengun is basically Jokic with the passes. KPJ will have to learn to share or he’ll probably start friction between his teammates

KPJ & Green waiting on the perimeters will be lethal. All we need is a 3&D SNIPER and we will be set

 

He was absolutely terrible when I said that, the fact that he improved later and started to show the development i wanted to see is something we should all be happy about. My concerns were always about what might happen if that massive improvement never happened, something that is no longer an issue..... again, we've been over this a thousand times already, let's just both accept that the concept is over your head and move on.

 

Dudes a scrub. Are you the burner account of KoC? Smh.

 

Even if Green was playing horribly he wasnt anywhere close to Corey Brewer who entered the lesgue at age 22 and averaged 7 pts his rookie season.

Nobody gives a **** about your concerns the two arent comparable at all even just looking at their ages.

 

True floor general? Dude is a 27% 3 pt shooter and 45% TS.

Whatever floor generalship Hayes provides is more than taken away by his inability to shoot the ball. People gonna load up on the 4 other guys and dare him to shoot. What Hayes gonna do then? Shoot from 3 at 27%? Try to go to the lane and shoot 39%?

Worst case with KPJ cut him. Dont trade him for a broke shot scrub who is on his way out of the league. Who cares if he was a top 5 pick? A scrub is a scrub no matter ehere he was picked. Bennett was no 1 doesnt mean you trade a lotto pick for him.

 

WTF are you talking about? He had one emotional breakdown, for which he profusely apologized. Otherwise he has been a model citizen here, stepped up massively at the end of the year - averaging 25/6/6 - and is now one of the best spot up 3P shooters in the league on a team that desperately needs outside shooting. Oh, and his ascendance paired perfectly with Jalen's, given plenty of evidence they can excel together and he would neither complain about touches nor take away from Jalen's.

But, sure, let's trade him for some rookie shooting 26% from 3.

I swear, some of you people are insane.

 

They’re asking him to be a basketball player when he should be cleaning toilets.

 

How about Tyrese Haliburton for KPJ ? Thoughts ?

 

KPJ is not going anywhere. He showed steady improvement through out the 2nd half of the season and still has a year on his current deal. By all accounts, he's been in the gym, grinding it out like a pro. Still has a lot to prove, but he seems to have turned a corner. Whether or not that is true, he's been putting in the work and has earned that spot. At the very least, for another season. Excited to see it.

 

None of this is based in reality though.... that's why I suggest that some weird cognitive bias is at play here.
