They did not have Zion for an entire season and got CJ 3/4ths of the way through the season.

BI also missed 20 plus games and the team had to give minutes to Graham/NAW/Sato/Temple etc.

Yeah I think they'll be a lot better next year.

Really?

I hope so putting a lot of that on a 21 year old with guys like BI and CJ rostered… 27 ppg is tops in the league. Guess those other guys will take a back seat to the king.

Keep spitting facts.

Pels will be between 4-8 seed next year comfortably.

Will be on the level of a Nuggets/Jazz/Mavs type team from what you saw the last couple of years…

Given a great matchup or injury’s could possibly make it further…

That is what he averages. I didn’t pull it out of my arse.

He did it with BI and if there is anyone who is okay with wide TF open looks from the 3 and not having to carry the team it’s CJ.

Good thing is we know this won’t happen. Griff would never trade BI simply because of how loyal he has been.

Plus, BI is going to be better for us going forward than KD would be

This season, Zion will be a better player than Durant will. If we're making that trade, then I want the Nets to give us picks.

Would love to see it

Don’t think anything that happened in the past matters right?

The way the current system, current coaching staff, current roster is constructed… I just don’t see that PPG anything over 25 would be wild

That's less realistic, not more.

Tatum is definitely more valuable at this moment than Durant.

I think y’all are selling KD short.

Kevin Durant this past season averaged 29.9 pts, 6.4 assists, and 7.4 reb with a TS% of 63.4%. Those are MVP numbers.

To add a player like that means instant title contention. See, the thing with a lot of “super teams” is that they have stars but absolutely zero role players or chemistry. Adding KD to the Pels means they would have star players, role players, and a mix of young hungry players and playoff-tested veterans. It would be a complete team.

This is why a team collects assets and builds… to strike at opportunities like this when they arise.

Now, Zion I would say is untouchable. But Brandon Ingram? Y’all wouldn’t trade him for Kevin Durant?

Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.

Tatum or KD would win a championship on the Celtics sooner?

It’s too late. KD is 34 and missed almost as much time as Zion the last few years. Pels shouldn't buy high…
