It’s very amusing how you’re speaking like your take was objectively the correct one after one 2-9 performance. You seem like you’ve got some issues little bro. I hope that 2-9 performance allowed you to get some good slumbers last night, lord knows your jimmies were rustled from those first 3 incredibly efficient games

Well, he was using 3.5 seasons of objective data to rightfully back the claim that Rui is an average to below average player, and your take was essentially "the Wizards suck so those stats don't count."

Gonna say, not quite that amusing.

Me asking how many does Rui drop tonight is me boasting that he’s going to go ballistic? You’re in your own little world buddy. I’m glad you got a W, you really seem like you needed something to go right

Complete lack of self awareness. It’s my own fault for arguing with an autist, I formally rest my case because I feel like an autist by association
Posted on 4/25/23 at 9:33 pm to spaghettioeauxs
You rest your case because you got cocky and said something dumb that didn't work out and instead of doing what any rational dude would and concede it was dumb, you kept talking and digging and making yourself look worse each time
So yea, you're finally realizing it's in your best interest to stop talking, so good for you. Quite late but at least you got there. Good for you.

I think you might be the most insufferable poster on here lol
I can tell you have the ability to be intelligent, but you largely waste it on being a jackass when someone doesn’t agree with everything you say.
Rui has had a good series, including last night’s game. If he didn’t have a good game, the Lakers wouldn’t have had him out there in the closing lineup.
They are a team with pretty solid depth and the ability to play a variety of players and lineups. So the fact that Rui is getting clutch minute run in a game where he shot 2/9, tells you he is doing something right out there. Otherwise, the Lakers would plug and play one of their other 11-12 guys. They have a deep enough team at this point if someone is truly fricking up. I saw them bench Reaves last night for a bit after several out of control possessions.

Go and find me the post where I act like a jackass to someone solely because they don't agree with me. FYI, since I'm not the jackass you claim I'm going to save you some time and answer it for you...you won't find examples of that because examples of what you claimed do not exist.
The ONLY posters I act like that too are the posters who act like a jackass initially to me. If you wanted to call me out for responding too much to people who act like a jackass, you'd have a point. But your main assertion is flat wrong in this case.
There's a HUGE difference, and I'm sorry if you can't see that. But that's on you, not me.
quote:Oh, so you just give a free pass to all the dudes who lose their shite and take shots at me when literally all I'm doing is not agreeing with them in a cordial way, but it's my fault only and no one else for going back at them just as hard as they came at me? That's a pretty absurd take you have there, just saying.
I think you might be the most insufferable poster on here lol
quote:He has had a good series. The idea that he had a good game 4 is wild. There is no world where he had a good game 4. That would be the literal same thing as me trying to argue he didn't play well in games 1 through 3, which I would not do.
Rui has had a good series, including last night’s game. If he didn’t have a good game, the Lakers wouldn’t have had him out there in the closing lineup.
I don't the argument that because Bamba/Tristan Thompson/Wenyen Gabriel didn't get minutes for a big proves that Rui had a good game 4.
Main takewaway here is there is no coincidence that you are on the opposite side of the Rui debate as me AND you also are giving free passes to the dudes losing their minds while only calling me out for responding to the dudes losing their minds. if you thought Rui wasn't good, you'd be right on my side calling out the other posters for their nonsense and freaking out instead of simply debating the point. It is what it is.

I see this thread took a turn for the worse..
To center it back, no Rui is not the trade target.
Vanderbilt and Beasley are here, we are probably still playing. For now.

Rui has definitely played better in the playoffs. Paul Reed might have been a better fit if the Pels wanted more of a rim protector, and he has also had a nice playoffs, but was almost certainly available at the trade deadline for cheap.
Reed has some of the same faults as Hayes, but is more productive in almost every category, particularly blocks/steals, and rebounding.
He’s a restricted free agent this summer, but not sure the price will be as cheap now.

I said in other threads Vanderbilt was my number one target. Just love the hustle and his game. But like most posters said and I do agree somewhat, is that he is basically the same as Nance.
And honestly I thought they’d cost more in a trade. One of the few times if ever, Ainge kinda just layed down. Rui didn’t go for much and filled a need for us.

Rui looking like a dog on the offensive end and guarding Jokic on a bunch of sets allowing AD to patrol paint.
“Nah, Rui was trash on a team with Kuzma as their best player, he can’t possibly play good basketball when surrounded by good players.”
Such a shite take and the passion behind it is so funny
Edit: hit a 3 as I was typing this
Good lord, Japanese Kawhi is on fire

Rui disappeared in the second half as the Nuggets came back from a double digit deficit.

I think part of the reason a thread about a rotation player has become contentious is the way you phrased the thread title.
quote:
Did Griff screw up by not trading for Rui ?
Did Griff miss an opportunity to get a cheap rotation player cheaply? Yes. However, the screw up was needing to send all of our remaining 2nds to San Antonio to get off of DeVonte Graham. The Pels have traded away literally all of their 2nds between 2023 and 2029, and they don't have any more incoming from other teams. LINK Even if Griff said "I had a fan tell me last night I should trade for Rui and you know what, he's right!" he had no spare 2nds to make it happen.
The teams that win trades are able to sit on their assets and be patient for the right opportunities to come along. The teams that lose trades are trying to undo mistakes they probably shouldn't have made in the first place.

Look above, you're welcome.
My point is rather obviously proven yet again , even you can't honestly disagree with that now given the above. You will disagree but you also know it's illogical.
But feel free to not call that poster out like you did incorrectly attributing his nonsense to me, I'm sure you'll still try to blame me for him flying off the handle... again.

Honestly I'm surprised he didn't need to give up a 1st to get off of graham
