re: Dyson Daniels Favorite To Win Most Improved

I’ve been a Zion stan since we won the lottery. It’s sports, I don’t care about your opinion, I like watching Zion Williamson.

Lol. Plenty on here. I might have been the only one that didn’t like the trade on here. Even Dyson fans thought the trade was good

And yet it turns out I’m right once again. But even I predicted it would be a couple years and we’d really regret the trade. It’s only been a couple months, and here we are lol….

Dyson could have been the one to tear his achilles if we didn't make the trade, then what?
Trade didn't work due to injuries. We'll never know if the trade worked or not according to the plan as we never saw our team together for the season.

Not arguing we won't regret the trade, the moment Dejounte tore his achilles, that was obvious.
We lost and will regret the trade due to injuries, we'll never know how it would have played out with our core on the court.
Nothing I'm saying is controversial, it's basically just facts of the situation

Dyson wasn't beating out Herb on the depth chart
Better scorer and perhaps better defender. How is Willie Green still the coach of this team?

The whole problem resides with the GM. All this team needed was to trade BI and never fire Stan. BI's ego hurt this team because he and Zion couldn't co-exist and Z was/is the better player. Willie will kill this team and put them out of their misery if he's not gone next year.

The trade didn’t work out b/c One, DD was much better than almost everyone thought on here except for two other posters and myself.
And Two, Griff should have been using BI or assets from BI to reroute to ATL to get someone like Murray. And if that trade wasn’t there, then not make the trade and move on. That was my premise.
I can bump the thread that I made that almost everyone thought BI had more value than just Murray in the offseason. That we should be getting more than just Murray from the Hawks in a BI trade.
Who else needed a PG or was interested in Murray? The Lakers? Who were they gonna trade to get him? There wasn’t some overflowing market for Murray. But Griff was desperate as usual.

A lot of blame goes to Green. He was never going to develop Daniels especially on the offensive end. He doesn't have the capacity to nor was he willing to sacrafice wins to do it. He boxed him into a role and yanked him as soon as things go bad. He only wants BI, Z, and CJ to have their freedom on offense. Everyone else needed to be boxed in.
Now look at Synder, he has a history of developing young players and have always put his guys in good position to succeed. He gave Daniels minutes from day 1, let Daniels have an up and down first half off the season while giving him all the reps in the world and he started to find consistency in the second half of the season. He did it by building his confidence throughout the year and letting him figure it out.
You're seeing the same thing with Risacher. Synder is a wizard when it comes to player development. That's a big reason why I want Jenkins so badly.

You're not even trying for a rational discussion right now if you can't concede injuries were the single biggest factor in how this trade played out.

Again, if you can't concede that, that just proves all you care about is "thinking" you're correct and not having legit logical conversations in here. it is what it is.

We haven’t seen the Pels healthy in over a decade if ever. So nothing out of the norm in the Griff era.
There’s nothing illogical about my thinking. We gave up the number one perimeter defensive player in the league that just turned 22 and was voted MIP in the entire league. That’s not me saying that, it’s the league voters.
And with the Bucks injury news, and the direction of this franchise, very good chance Hawks walk away with a top ten pick in 2027 along with whatever they land with the lakers pick this year.
Like I said, it’s over and yet another big L for Griff and the franchise. How’s that logic?

I would play Dyson with herb right now. There's enough offense with murphy/Williamson/McCollum to be good enough.
Said this a few times last year. Our biggest plus minus of the entire year was with Herb and DD starting and everyone said it wouldn’t be possible. I threw up the stats.
The two best perimeter defensive players in the league sharing the backcourt.
