If any part of Langdon actually liked the Adams transaction, the Bledsoe deal, or keeping Bledsoe over George Hill...and he wasn't quietly cursing Griffin's name behind his back, then I don't feel great about him either.

Putting Steven Adams next to Zion wasn't just a bad move, its a total misunderstanding of what NBA basketball is in 2021. There's literally no world in which Milwaukee trades a first round pick for Adams, and extends him, to put him next to Giannis.

And unless Valanciunas turns into Brook Lopez, we just tripled down on another terrible fit at center next to Zion. Its even worse because Dell gifted them the perfect stretch center and they dumped him to keep Jahlil Okafor.

Valanciunas shoots MUCH better than Adams could ever dream of, and is on a 1 year expiring deal and we didn't extend him.

That isn't tripling down its basically the opposite.

@ the full on melt. This is such a toxic fanbase that thrives on unsubstantiated rumors. It's comical.

They didn't trade for Adams for his "fit" imo, they traded for Adams for his mentorship, which Jax said last season helped him tremendously and was a big reason for his great play post-ASB.

Val is not a bad fit next to Z.
