I like this trade if we're giving up Jalen Green, but we'll need a future first in return from the Nets. Then, we could package Dillon, 27 Suns FRP, Nets FRP, salary fillers for KD. Our starting lineup would look like this: Sengun KD Cam Johnson Amen FVV Our perimeter shooting would approve and playmaking/shot creation by KD is a massive upgrade from Jalen Green. Amen would replace Dillon as our primary lockdown defender...Sengun gets better spacing with KD and Cam Johnson on the wings. Its a good trade if we have a KD trade lined up.
theres no need. arguing with you is like trying to tell a flat-earther the earth is round. id rather use my time elsewhere
Awful trade in my opinion. If we are trading the 10th pick it needs to be for a player who can instantly turn us into a contender. Cam Johnson would barely even crack the rotation and we already have tons of wing talent. Cam Whitmore might even be better by next year.
The 10th pick to move down 9 spots in order to pick up Cam Johnson, who is a starting level wing who addresses one of our major issues is quite good value, IMO. Not sure that we could do much better. On the other hand, while we do need shooting, we do not need another wing. The Rockets seem allergic to upgrading the backcourt if they are interested in this deal.
It's exactly the opposite my guy. All the evidence points to the earth being a sphere and to Cam Johnson being significantly better than Dillon Brooks.... yet in flat earth fashion, you still cling to your baseless beliefs.
I don't want Jalen on this team next season but I'm not giving up Jalen and #10 for Cam Johnson and #19 and Stone isn't going to do that either. Ya'll may as well let that one go. I think Jalen himself should at least have the value of around a late lotto pick. Also, I don't see where people are saying Cam isn't an upgrade over Dillon. Dillion is possibly slightly better defensively (heavy on the possibly), but Cam is pretty far ahead on offense. And this is coming from someone who was a fan of Brooks when we signed him. I have a long post somewhere around here why it was a good move and why there was hope he would at least shoot league average here. This is over there last 4 seasons: Health is a factor and is a very valid point to consider. But if the teams medical people think Cam's injuries aren't debilitating or something that will inherently be chronic then I'd definitely do a Brooks for Cam swap in a vacuum. Is moving down 9 spots worth the upgrade from Brooks to Cam? That, I'm not sure of...It'd largely depend on who was available in those spots.
Which 10th pick makes a team a contender? CJ is nice as a veteran who can score consistently from deep. I dont like him over Dillon Brooks but in addition to Brooks he would be welcome. We dont know if Whitmore will pan out if Eason gets injured who replaces him? Tate? lol no.
Why are you using last 4 yrs? Brooks has clearly taken his game another level on the Rockets. Brooks shot 30% and 32% in Memphis and then shot 36% and 39% on the Rockets. If you use last 4 yrs, then obv that distorts Brooks data cuz clearly he is no longer the. 32% 3 pt shooter in Memphis. Johnson is a good shooter but he is also been playing in the terribad Leastern Conference he takes a dump on Hornets, Wizards 4 times a year that inflates his stats. Brooks plays West teams playing against good opponents lowers his stats in fact in the West 2nd seed and 10th seed separated by like 2-4 games. Theres a lot of context missing in these very simple average comparison. Also Dillon is a lot better than Johnson defensively when the last time Johnson locked up Wemby? We dont need to give up Jalen I he wont be included in this trade and I doubt Dillon will be too. We have so many contracts Stone can send Nets way starting with Jeff Green, Jock Landale, Tate. Landale isnt even guaranteed Nets can take him and cut him if they dont like him.
The Rockets have a major issue for a starting level wing? Brooks - starting level Smith - starting level Eason - starting level They have 4 of them already if you count Thompson.
Did you just intentionally ignore the second half of what I wrote to make your point? "We do not need another wing."
Cam play defense, a Expensive $22.5 million Role Player. If Cam can't shoot at Houston and doesn't play defense. Terrible Contract waiting to happen.
Im saying we need to use the 10th pick as a trade piece to get a contender. We can package it with the multiple picks we have the next 2-3 years and get someone who is a superstar/closer. Cam Johnson is barely going to move the needle for this Rockets team and we aren't going to get something as valuable as the 10th pick again unless Stone's gamble paid off. Also Cam Whitmore/Tari Eason/Jabari are already close to the level that Cam is in my opinion. He isn't exactly playing like a star on a Brooklyn team that is obviously tanking every year.
They are both lousy at most offensive categories other than shooting. The difference is negligible in most categories. Dillon shot better from 3 and is a much better defensive player by most anybody’s account. No way is Cam worth Dillon and 9 spots in the draft. I’m not sure Ime would even play him. We already have Jabari and Tari and Cam in the wings in addition to Dillon. It just doesn’t make any sense.
