This young man is showing out! Already making a bigger positive impact on both ends of the court than Jabari while taking his place in the starting lineup!
We don't need to tear down one player to build another up. They are a team, let the best player start who helps win games. I appreciate both these guys.
Dillon will eventually go to the bench for Bari. Bari will likely finish the season shooting better from deep, is a much better rebounder and shot blocker and is only slightly worse as a perimeter defender. Dillon overall has been great for us, but he’s a poor rebounder, has poor foot speed, and he is a bit of a spazz, making silly fouls and getting occasional tunnel vision
I’m just impressed a young versatile player like Amen could so impressively replace the starting PF and make a better impact while thought to be the PG of the future. I like Jabari, but when thinking of the young core and current & future max contracts he seems one of the most likely expendable in the short term with the least amount of negative impact on the team.
Jabari's box score numbers are never going to be the greatest. But his length, especially defensively, will never be "expendable" in this league.
Dillon is a solid two-way starter in the league. The issue is with a healthy Jabari, we have a lot of depth at his (Dillion) position. I don't think we need to trade for time lord, but if we do, Brooks should be in the deal. Simply trading Cam and filler does not solve our log jam at the three.
I don't think he's making anyone expendable, but he's probably pushing Brooks to the bench...Not Jabari...
Not FVV. He's actually a much better fit with the team if he continues playing the current role he is playing. The fact that he has bought on to less usage, while still being the PG, has actually shot up his efficiency. He's picking his spots a lot better and not jacking up shots like he was earlier in the season. He's having a really good month of January even though he is playing more minutes then before. Hopefully they can renegotiate his contract to $25M/year, but I wouldn't trade FVV unless we are getting a really good PG back, like Coby White.
Let's assume Amen gets a max. Jabari is probably going to get close to a max extension as well. Is Fertita really going to pay Jalen, Sengun, Amen, Jabari max to near max? That's not even including Tari or Cam. Someone is going to have to get squeezed.
Nah. I want to see a motivate Jabari with the all defense line-up. Amen-Jalen-Dillon-Jabari-Tari is like our version of the lineup of death.
I just think we gotta push Amen as point or him and Jalen splitting it. I want Amen at point and Tari at forward for defensive purposes If Fred would renegotiate for 20mil as backup cool but I’d honestly rather pay Ty Jerome 20mil this off season lol I just want FVV & Brooks 60mil off the books and the kids to take the wheel
