re: 2021 NBA Trade thread BREAKING: Bagley to Pistons in 4 team deal

Why would the team want a trash for trash type of trade? It's pointless. If you can use his salary to upgrade the roster, then great. If not, I don't see a point in making a trade to bring in more trash with the possibility of it be players who are on multi year deals.

This is the Pels motto until the trade deadline. Garrett Temple and Gary Clark are examples.

I know he’s been brought up before but how does he fit in with the type of PG we’re looking for?


Haven’t really seen him play. His 3pt% doesn’t look great.

Fox has a weird trend.
looking at catch and shoot 3's only.
2022 34%
2021 39%
2020 33%
2019 40%

I guess he'll be good again next year from 3.
His pull up 3 game is pretty bad. You'd think maybe playing with Zion and BI that he could be more of a catch and shoot 3 point shooter. He's been taking about twice as many pull up 3's as opposed to catch and shoot 3's in his career. He needs to flip that.
If he could be a near 40% catch and shoot 3 point shooter, limit his pull up 3's, and continue to get to the basket like he has his whole career, he could definitely be the PG we need from an offensive standpoint.

If we ran an offense that was more suitable to him being a driver/facilitator with the ball in his hands, and then off the ball a catch and shoot or pump fake drive to the goal player, then he would do great here.

Dell plucked solid rotational players for guys that should have been in the G-League.

Dell was the equivalent of a poker player making it a third of the way through the tournament by folding most hands and only playing a low pair.

Griff is the equivalent of a poker player that was handed a million dollars to play in a tournament, is dealt a royal flush, and folds it to go play baccarat

Sadly this is true. Just add he was handed a a straight hand on his first deal and decided to fold it on the hopes he could get two straight flushes on the next hand and ended up losing both.

All Griff literally would have to do to have the best young core in the league is…nothing.

Take BPA in the draft and resign the players that others forced on him: Garland, Lonzo, BI, Zion, Hart, and whoever you use assets and Wood to upgrade center with, and this team would be arguably the best under 25 team in the league by a country mile

I want OG :(

You have to think Vinson could work with him to get back into form. That said, pull up 3s are generally not a good shot for any player not named Steph Curry

Makes sense though as he is a lead PG who has the ball in his hands alot.

His up and down years seem to correlate to the years Marvin Bagley didn't play much. Makes sense his % would be lower without the best post scorer on the team drawing defenders to the paint. Bagley has only played 24 games this year and is only getting up 7 shots a game. We have Jonas and Zion presumably returns eventually.
