re: Zach Edey
Posted by NOFOX on 5/18/24 at 10:51 am
We won’t have 2 firsts. We will have #21. Taking a flyer on Edey that late isn’t a big deal. You’d have some upperclassmen that fall and some other C’s available, but whomever we pick at #21 in this draft is unlikely to make much impact. Not my preference, but Edey can at least be a situational b...
re: Darius garland or Trae young
Posted by NOFOX on 5/16/24 at 3:29 pm
[quote]I get this, but if it doesn't work, his value goes negative and we basically have to blow it all up and start over.
You could say the same with all of these guys, but Trae has the biggest volatility and the most likely chance to have his value completely tank.[/quote]
I think Garland ha...
re: Jake Fischer: An unofficial poll of executives have BI above Trae Young
Posted by NOFOX on 5/15/24 at 5:05 pm
It doesn’t say they think Ingram is more valuable than Trae, just that there will be more interested teams.
Makes sense as not many teams have interest in a small ball dominant guard. Ingram is a long wing that ostensibly won’t cost as much as Trae. ...
re: I want Nikola Topic on this team
Posted by NOFOX on 5/14/24 at 8:07 am
[quote]Topic is slightly smaller, less athletic, MUCH worse at defense and rebounding, and very possibly worse at shooting. Is Topic THAT much better at finishing and passing to make up for all that he lacks?[/quote]
I love Dyson, but he’s not Topic. Topic is light years ahead of Dyson in terms ...

re: Josh Hart is clutch
Posted by NOFOX on 5/9/24 at 5:12 pm
So much Josh Hart talk because he’s on a heater and playing with Brunson, but regular season Hart shot 31% from 3 and 43% from the field scoring 9.4 ppg.
That’s Dyson Daniels level offense (31%, 45%). ...

re: Pelicans are not expected to offer BI extension this offseason, moving in new direction
Posted by NOFOX on 5/6/24 at 4:59 pm
[quote]Lmao[/quote]
I get it, but general managers have admitted to perusing the RealGM trades forum. The criticisms of Ingram are all valid. No one here wants to max Ingram for the same reasons.
You can expand this out to NBA pod/radio hosts and writers too. Ingram is mostly viewed as a l...

Posted by NOFOX on 5/6/24 at 4:51 pm
[quote]I dont disagree he has hurt his trade value over the last 15 games of the season, but he's still a much more valuable player than Murray.
BI's value didn't go from a good young player and 3-4 firsts to expiring contracts and 2 lottery protected firsts just b/c of the last 15 games.[/quote]...

[quote]I don't know where or how you derive the value for Murphy. People are worth what others are willing to pay them. I'm sure he could get the 25M/year. I wouldn't give it to him. He's not proved it yet and he's not a starter for this team.[/quote]
Trey’s shooting at his size is more valuable ...

[quote]This year, he seems pretty committed to flipping the roster around.[/quote]
I’ll believe it when I see it. His quote about CJ/Zion/Ingram being a negative on the court really seemed like a shot at the surrounding cast.
He specifically mentioned how good the core and foundation was. ...

[quote]No one's ever goign to care about Jose, Naji, Herb, or any big shooting a 3. They don't shoot quick enough for a defender to have to stick to them. It's not about how many 3's you take and make. it's the way you shoot them.[/quote]

[quote]They see Lauri more of a high 2 than a 1 option.[/quote]
Lauri is a mid 2 option. I don't think people actually watch Jazz basketball. Lauri is assisted on 98% of his made 3's and 74% of his made 2's.
I don't love the Lauri fit here. He's not realy a playmaker and doesn't create mu...

[quote]Just get a legit point guard to orchestrate the offense and it’ll all come together.

The fact of the matter is if we give BI a 30% max, we will be a small market tax team while Zion is only 24 with limited ability to improve. I don't care about Benson's money, but she does. Rea...

I mean, there are morbidly obese Methodist preachers. They’re just as big of sinners as gay people are.[/quote]
Don't forget the drunks. Never met a priest who didn't enjoy an alcoholic beverage or 12 on occasion. Cannot imagine Methodist preachers are all that different.

[quote]I like what OKC has built, it feels very current/modern NBA. An offensive engine with a bunch of 2 way role players that can play more than one position. The Pels are halfway down that track, they just need to go all in on Zion and turn the pieces that don't fit into better fitting pieces.[/q...
