Can you all start another thread to have your stupid argument? This is a complete waste of space. And for the record, BI’s per 36 last year was 26, 6.1, and 5.6. He averaged 25.3 his first year with the Pels and 24.9 the second. If you want to have an actual basketball conversation using stats, especially in comparison situations, you should be using per 36. And BI has been very good for the Pels, no one should be arguing otherwise.

This post is just as stupid as the arguments you dont like. Inflating his stats per 36 I found is a silly concept mainly because it’s automatically assuming a player will play that way for 36 minutes- which they never do.

BI and a bunch of shite for Trae? Franchise-altering disaster potential

Griff has burned through a first for Steven Adams, a first for Devontae Graham, then numerous seconds to get off Graham, and the #4 overall pick to draft frickin Jax Hayes. And let’s not forget the other high mid first for Kira.

So three first round picks all in the top halves of drafts totally blown.

The way Griff has blown through assets, I could give two shits if he has to add a couple firsts to bring in an actual number 1 option to pair with Zion.

I think it's increasingly obvious that the Pels aren't going to give Brandon a 4-year, $208 million extension. His value is higher if you trade him this summer rather than keeping him on a one-year deal and dealing him at the deadline.

The most logical trading partner is the Cavs. Their duos of Garland and Mitchell and Allen and Mobley don't work together. Brandon would make sense for them.

I think Mitchell will resign making Garland the odd-man out. I think Mobley is their future at the pivot meaning Allen will be traded. If we can get one, but not both, I'd probably take Allen + either LeVert and a 1st rounder or Strus and a 1st rounder. I then try to build out a 3-team trade shipping LeVert + picks + Dyson or Jordan to ATL for DeJounte Murray.

If we could end up with Murray and Allen for Brandon + Dyson + two first rounders, that would be a great offseason...

I was telling you guys about a week or 2 ago that the gap between BI and RJ is less than you think, and RJ is still young and would fit better on this team and with Zion.

What gives you that idea? The multiple reports that the Pels aren’t going to give him a max extension?

Shamit tweeted this out. No picks involved. If the Cavs hire Borrego and he doesn't want BI, and if ATL's price for Trae is too high, then I still like this idea better than the other Hawks trades.

That is a shite tier trade, IMO

We better be getting picks if the return is Kessler, Sexton, and a negative asset in John Collins.

Yeah, I don’t see Collins as a negative asset, didn’t see him as one in Atlanta and I was hoping we would trade for him to be our closing 5 then.

37% on 3’s, 8.5 rebounds, 1 blocked shot, that’s the exact type of closing 5 we’ve been begging for next to Zion.

I can understand people being attracted to a trade like that. You're still keeping all pick assets along with CJ's salary and all your young players for future trades or moves, and you're filling positions of concern: Rim protecting Center, small ball big, and bench guard scorer. In some ways it fits your team better.

But you're still trading 3 Quarters for a dollar it seems

That's the problem with trading with the Jazz

Ainge is never going to offer you value, ever.
