re: Y’all miss BI yet

Posted by Tigerjim09 on 11/20/25 at 6:54 pm to
There is nothing to miss about BI, he’s putting up almost identical stats to what he did here. He’s a good NBA player, but no better than a number 3 option on a real contending team. Very replaceable player, but I do wish we had gotten more for him when we traded him
quote:

How do you not get it? Zion isn't available because he refuses to stay in shape. Oden wasn't available because his knees exploded.

How do you not get that this is completely irrelevant? Zion has been a good NBA basketball player, and Oden never was. Period.
quote:

Oden's body let him down.

What in your mind does his body “letting him down” have to do with anything?The guy got taken first overall, had an injury, and then was never a good NBA player.
Would Zions career have been better if he had a serious injury during his rookie year, and then never played well again? Of course not. Zion has provided value at points in his career and Oden never did. Not even in the same conversation in terms of being a bust
Zion is nowhere near as big of a bust as Oden, that’s insane. He has been disappointing relative to his expectations of being the next face of the league, but on his career the dude averages 25, 6.5, and 4 on 58% shooting. Not to mention oden went right before Durant, and Zion went before Ja who has also been disappointing. Would call Zion disappointing, but not a bust because he’s a borderline all NBA caliber player when he’s actually on the floor
Morant has been horrible this season, and has regressed each of the last few years. Fears might just be a straight up better player than Morant by the end of the season.

I don’t think you have to trade Trey or Herb, they are good players on more than fair contracts. The real issue with the team right now is that between Zion, Dejounte, and Poole you have 65% of your payroll sitting on the bench injured. It may be difficult, but I would try to find a way to get as much value as you can while getting those three off the roster. Hopefully then you can recoup a few picks, free up some money, and start to really build around fears and Queen with Herb and Trey as effective role players.
I’m not a big Nyck Harbor guy, I honestly think he’s more of a tight end than a receiver. His measurables are insane but he’s never been all that productive and he’s not a great route runner. In his entire career he only has 1 game with more than 4 catches and that came in his freshman year.

Looney is horrible. Does not do anything well at this point in his career. Him starting over Queen and Karlo is a joke
I don’t like Bain or Faulk honestly. Have watched multiple of each of their games and have come away unimpressed. They also only have 3 and 2 sacks respectively. I think Reese and Downs are both going to be great players, but I am really hoping we go offensive skill position. Can’t expect to roll out these offensive weapons and have consistent success on offense. If we can trade down a few picks and still land Jordyn Tyson that would be my ideal outcome
This team wasn’t competing for a Super Bowl anyway. It gave Shough some time to adjust to the NFL game/schedule and also put us in a good position to get a high pick. Now Shough gets half a season to continue to grow, and we have a good chance at adding a top receiver in this draft to pair with him and Olave.
I really don’t like Poole’s game. He’s a bad and lazy defender who is streaky on offense. If he gets hot he can provide some real value, but if he’s not he sinks the team.
I’m taking Zion over Risacher and probably Flagg. Always thought Flagg was a bit overhyped and he has not looked great so far. Think he ends up becoming a Mikal Bridges type of player.

76-6
Queen is Jokic 2.0
Let’s ride

Please get Poole out the game
I like Tyson a lot, but if that’s who we want to pick we should try to trade down a few spots imo
Rough game from the rookies. That’s okay it’s going to happen this year. There is zero excuse for Herb and Trey to look like this. They are the main reason this team didn’t win the first two games and they gave next to nothing tonight. Also Hawkins should be sent to the squadron tomorrow. I am done watching him
Fears is the best creator on the offense. IMO Poole is more of an iso scorer than a guy who really makes the offense go. Really hope we start to let Fears expand his role at the end of games

Would’ve really liked to see Fears initiate the offense some in OT. The Poole and Zion show was not working
