Y’all Graham at 12 million is a godsend. He’s averaged 200 3s a season at a 37% clip. He gets to the line where he converts. He’s an absolute gamer.

A lineup of Graham BI Zion Murphy JV means that Zion is about to have so much more space to attack the rim.

Gone are the days that Bledsoe’s man sags off the three point line waiting to steal a kick out (Graham WILL hit 3s). Gone is Adams man doubling every Zion drive (JV will stuff someone in the basket). shite sometimes lonzos man would stop guarding him too.

Give the best driver in the game of basketball room and he ll avg 30.

Y all need to stop reading the hype of these players and look at the skills and basketball fit. This year’s roster is making SO much basketball sense than last years roster.

Murphy in the corner is so much better than ANYONE the Pels had last year.

And Graham hits free throws, something this team needed every 4th Q

Shooting 600 threes can’t be good

That’s a ton of shots per game for one guy. Zion needs to work on those rebounding skills.

I love the fit of Graham and JV in the starting lineup for Zion and BI. Also, they’re on great contracts. Hopefully, we can get a scorer for the second unit now.

Plenty of first round picks and they gave up a lottery protected pick.

It's a non lottery pick, which tend to take years to pan out if ever...we don't have years

No more constantly worrying about Lonzo’s headspace… was a 1000 lb piano on the franchise’s back.

Something like 70% of all his attempt were from 3.

I didn’t even mention more minutes for Kira and NAW. Anyone not liking these moves doesn’t watch the nba.

They are not like candy that you should just throw away. Ridiculous to give up a 1st in a S&T for a player like Graham.

No it’s not. They have plenty of picks. They’re getting a heavy rotation player. And in spots 14 plus that’s literally the best hope that you can have—- is drafting a heavy rotation player.

You laugh but last season there were a lot of games where our fans were crying for someone to take those open shots instead of passing up open shot after open shot with the over passing. You take the good with the bad and find balance. It's not hard to see the benefits of a guy like graham.

He ll take them. And it’ll make players have to fricking guard him out there instead of collapsing.

I don’t mind Graham, but giving up the first bothers me. Just like last year, giving up an asset that I feel like we didn’t have to, bothers me. Does Charlotte match the deal we just offered? Probably not. It would tie up the cap dollars for 3 days, but so what.

If that was an issue we could have told Chicago to give us sato and figure out what it’s going to take for Charlotte to do the S&T and make them happy. We walk away with the same players, and keep our 1.

That’s my issue.

It’s lottery protected and in a weak draft it’s nothing
