Even if Rockets don't get KD and he goes elsewhere, none of the other offers are good. That makes the Sun's picks even more valuable.
he started eliminating the stepback 3 last year which was by far his most inefficient shot and I agree he needs to drive more which means we need more spacing in the offense - which means we need to somehow get KD and Bari on court at the same time with JG lol
Adams contract goes into that first year of an Amen extension, and Jalen has a $36 million player option that year so he's not going to be making much less than that if at all. Though one of him or FVV would be gone in the scenario that we got KD. But then also Jabari and Tari extensions would be kicked in by then
Spacing is useless if Jalen is too weak and unskilled to get past a defender in the half court. You saw his struggle to get past a. 36 year old, injured Curry.
If what they are offering is true they definitely can be. Timberwolves package is meh but the Raptors is good. The Raptors trading for him make no sense though. I don't see how the Raptors get better. People comparing it to the Kawhi trade is insane because he was 27.
I'm looking at it now on spotrac. I was right. Amen isn't an unrestricted fa until 2028. That's the year Adams's deal is up. I was wrong, Brooks is the year before. Bottom line, they would have 39 committed to Sengun, cap hold on Amen, Jabari's new deal, and cap hold on rfa Reed. Reed may be cheaper than rfa offer so they could sign him first to free up more if that's the case. They would have max cap space even after holds. I'm ballparking about 125 held up so it would depend on cap figure by then. Spotrac projects 196 for cap.
I didn't say no one did it and I didn't say it will or won't work. I'm just saying you hearing or not hearing about it is irrelevant.
This Jalen green pick has been a plague. We missed on our highest pick of the rebuild. We put him in a backcourt with KPJ. We paid him near max money prematurely even though he was bad his first 3 yrs. And while he improved in year 4, he was beyond terrible in 6 out of 7 playoff games. He clearly has little to no positive value with the contract. It’s like we compounded the original mistake by making additional mistakes. We could have just done what okc did with giddy or what golden state is doing with Kaminga. It’s time to just move off Jalen. Even just a lateral move woukd be better than bringing a guy back we so publicly tried to trade this offseason. Please free us from the Jalen saga; it’s time.
Trey Murphy has played in 57 and 53 games the last 2 seasons Missing games isn’t an issue anymore? board doesn’t want top 3 player Giannis because he’s 30 and doesn’t fit when a good player like Desmond Bane goes for multiple picks, it’s a huge overpay when a good player goes for peanuts like Fox, we don’t want him because he’s not actually that good because of *insert random advanced stats Jalen Green for KD is too much Lemme guess, the Pelicans will take Murphy for our garbage and a pick? And if not, pass?
I agree with this, but I will just say that playing with KD would likely help Jalen a lot. Having him as a second option could make him lethal.
Jfc man Jalen cant play basketball. You could surround him with Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving and Magic Johnson and he'd still be trash. I want him gone just so I dont have to hear any more "hE nEeDs MoRe SpAcInG". Meanwhile Alpy over there playing out of his mind defensively when no one thought he could. Good players are good players. It's really that simple.
Stop it. Too much logic used in one post. We have to keep the rhetoric one liners going here man; KD is old, Jalen sucks, Bari is trash, and Ime/Stone should be fired.
