He’s extremely streaky.
I loved Niko during that playoff run too but when he’s not on absolute fire he’s ice cold.

Julius shot over 40% on threes after the all star break
Just sayin

I just looked to see if you’re right and it says he shot 34.5% from 3 post all star break
Before all star break he was making 34.3% of his 3s so hardly a difference

Yeah, I don't understand the Mirotic adoration either. The numbers for both last year are very close. Both aren't very good defenders, but they can score. Neither are the best fit next to Zion, but better than most options on the market and I don't want to over pay some 7 footer just to fill a need.
I would rather Randle though. He is younger, still improving, wants to be here (I don't want him walking and getting nothing in return) and has bought into the team culture. He is a top 10 FA and I believe will have more value down the line, if/when we want to flip him. Mirotic couldn't break the Bucks rotation and is starting to have injury concerns. So I would pick Randle..

I don't think the age or the price tag are serious concerns.
The idea that they must look for bargain players or not spend on high priced players seems a little too reflexive here. They have a ton of bargain players and rookie controlled guys. Find guys who can help build up Zion as a pro over the next 4 years
Now, the injury history of Kevin Love scares the shite out of me.

Well, all that is why Randle is going to cost more. Niko's market is as a 6th man, while Randle market is as a starter.

Mirotic had a much better defensive rating than Julius. It’s on par with guys like Embiid. Obviously not saying he’s close to being as good of a defender and embiid but considering he played on our defense that was usually cheeks throughout the year and he still had a d rating like that says a lot. He’d be a solid backup for the right price
Posted on 6/22/19 at 11:43 am to Macintosh504
Where would I find that? I am looking at their advanced stats and can't find it..

Randle is a total defensive liability and a black hole on offense. He’s a bull in a china shop and plays out of control too much.
I am not a fan of Randle AT ALL. I don’t want him back really for a reasonable price. Just move on.

Do you want 40ish% of your cap tied up in KLove for 4 years?
If his injury history wasn't terrible, I'd be fine with it.
They need older guys who can actually play and are content to teach the younger guys. A healthy Kevin Love would help the young core out tremendously on and off the court.
The money is not a problem. They will be flexible. You should rethink conventional wisdom some on hoarding cap space. The Pels are just in a different spot than a typical rebuild

Go to NBA.com for the advanced stats on guys. Just search “player name”nba stats. And you should be able to see their advanced stats as you scroll through their bio
Here’s the link
You wanna just click the links that just have specifically their stats, not the one That talks about their bios and all that unimportant bs
And actually I was wrong about Nikos stats. Forgot to change it to regular season. His d rating here was 108.. so not that great but still better than Julius

I have said this before and just think about it. If Zion posts the same numbers and %'s as Randle last year, is that a good year?

Thank you, I see it now..

Please neither, lets move on from these past losers please

No he didn’t.
34% just like first half

Get Dedmon if you can and see if you can bring in Pau
This team isn’t going to carry 4 centers (5 if you consider Wood a center).
The more I think about it the more open I’d be to Randle returning. He has worked his arse off to get better every year. Huge 3pt improvement last season. He would provide versatility since he can play PF/C unlike guys like Dedmon/Lopez.
Posted on 6/22/19 at 12:05 pm to Macintosh504
Ok well he shot 37% the last 12 games
There was a definite improvement

At what point in Love's contract will he not be a negative asset? Near the trade deadline in his final year? If it was 3 years and not 4 I could maybe talk myself into it, but having 4 years of such a big contract that you might not be able to move seems like a bad way to make use of all of the assets and flexibility you just gained.

quote:None, I would not go 4 years unless 4th is a team option.
But how much are we willing to pay Niko? Who would you rather on a 4 year deal?
Niko making $20 per year
Love making $30 per year
Horford making $27 per year
We saw how getting paid killed Ryan Anderson's value as a player. I'd argue all 3 of these players on those deals clog your cap and are negative assets. So if that's the case is Love the one to go with since he's Good Starter quality and Niko is more Role Playing Starter quality?
