Putting Steven Adams next to Zion wasn't just a bad move, its a total misunderstanding of what NBA basketball is in 2021
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.
quote:
And unless Valanciunas turns into Brook Lopez, we just tripled down on another terrible fit at center next to Zion
Val is not a bad fit next to Z.
quote:
Its even worse because Dell gifted them the perfect stretch center and they dumped him to keep Jahlil Okafor.
This has been covered ad-nauseum, Wood did not want to be here.

Val is a better fit, yes.
Is he an ideal fit? No.
People talking about his jump shot either haven’t watched him or don’t understand how spacing actually works.
Pull up Zion’s shot chart and than JV’s and they basically overlap other than JV takes a couple novelty jumpers every game or so, but they are both best around the rim. And arguably, so is BI.
So there is once again a lot of crowding in the area of the court our two best players operate.
And if Adams was that critical to Hayes, we wouldn’t have paid to get off of him. It’s clear whatever he brought wasn’t nearly enough to counteract what he took away. Why so many on this board want to give Griff a gold star for paying a premium to clean up the shite pile he created will forever elude me.
