mid go even further and nite that even if it is Rudy Gobert defensively out there.... even that type of individual defense is overrated, when flawed with the inability to switch the perimeter. The Jazz were 13th defensively. Lots of teams without a dominant interior defender were better. to be clear... I’d absolutely take Bamba on this team. And if it was a straight deal for House I would at least understand the strategy. Still play the same way offensively since he can shoot. But be able to rebound and defend better in the interior. Just not sold that Bamba is there yet or when he’ll get there beyond limited backup minutes. He’s yet to play more than 16 mpg, and played less this year at 14 for example. He’s worse then Clint was at 21 in his second year. And he didn’t show meaningful if any improvement his second year which is concerning.
Yeah I’ll take a average woman but I prefer a super model in all honesty but I gotta do with the assets I have.. beggars can’t be choosers A cheating average scrub like house ain’t bringing back A Gordon
You have to expand trade to get Aaron Gordon. Morey is notorious for his bait and switch trade talks.
I don’t get the Aaron Gordon love, his skill set hasn’t improved at all. I don’t get the Mo Bamba rumor either. Mo is a long term project, he won’t even get Isiah Minutes next year.
There is no James Harden on the Magic setting Mo for easy lob Dunks. Playing behind Nikola Vucevic who is an All Star playing 38 min. There are no minutes for him. Mo is better than Clint at 21. Clint still cant shoot 3s, midrange 2s, Post up moves, Free Throws, Longer Shot Blocker, Better IQ, Move laterally on defense . Mo can do all of these. He needs to play with Harden to bring out this 35 minutes Production. Clint Capela is still too flawed, the game is evolved into shooting big men like Kristaps Porzingis.
Think of AG as much younger, more skilled, more explosive, better defending Jeff Green. And the PnR with Harden would be down right nasty.
Isaac is sacred cow in ORL, just like AG was few seasons ago. Magic are building around DPOY candidate Jonathan Isaac, not so much Aaron Gordon any more. Especially when both are natural 4's.
The rational for getting rid of Clint was that Harden could make any center look like a star. I'd like to see this happen.
I have no faith in this "report" at all. But for discussion sake, I would do this trade in a heartbeat. He would be the perfect fit next to Harden, and if he can prove reliable from 3 he's not unplayable with Westbrook. If a team is willing to trade such a big talent so soon for so little it definately sets off alarm bells, but we're in no position to play anything safe at this point. Thanks to boss cheapo, Morey is gonna have to dig hard to add talent. House can eat s**t.
Oh god not this Brabra chump again. I stanned so hard for him during the deadline after he got a minor trade right and got freaking burned. He'd guaranteed we'd get Christian Wood and talked so much **** about it then ended up all excuses after we were let down. It could happen but I'm not believing in this guy till I see it this time around.
