re: NBA top 100, per ESPN

Where TF is Dejounte and Herb? Ridiculous list even for something subjective
My opinion is we have had this player. We traded Josh Hart, we let Naji walk, etc etc. The guy everyone wanted to repeat how maybe he’s not a starter. But all he did was go out there every night and make the team better. And they went on to win a bunch of games for someone else while we were worse for it. There comes a time you just need to keep good, winning players.
Saddiq is still only 27 this season.

20.4 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per 36

45.1% FG, 36.7% 3PT and 84.1% FT

At 6’8 or so
Picking up Hawkins costs us Peavy, a second and a second swap. Absolutely fireable decision. No excuse for it.

I don't get the love for Turner around here. He was almost unplayable in the Pacers' finals series two years ago. Last year his defense dropped off and all his stats declined. He's entering his 12th year in the league and will only get worse. If he was only signed for this year, sure, swap him for Poole. But no way would I take on the next two years of Turner's contract.


I feel that has been so exaggerated but listen to what you are saying. Turner started every game through the playoffs, including all seven NBA finals games just over a year ago. I think it’s fair for people to think he can help the weakest position on our 26 win team.

But per 36 minutes last year he shot 38.3% from 3 on 7.2 attempts and 2.2 blocks. And the year before he shot 39.6% on 6.5 attempts and 2.4 blocks.

My thing is he immediately prevents opposing teams from putting their center in the paint for Zion. And as the roster stands today, if Missi twists his ankle like he did in the first game last year, our whole season is over.
That would be collusion. I think the SEC has thrown themselves into some long term legal battles now. They would have done better to create an exception.
Herb is a very good player. Mathurin is not a good player. This is the perfect trial for who really knows basketball. If you can’t see the above, you probably should avoid deep basketball conversations, as well as running an NBA team. And if the plan is to pay Mathurin $15+ million to come off the bench, that’s a terrible terrible plan.
We need a center you dumb fs!!!!

Sorry, carry on
Turner and Kuzma for Poole and Hawkins works, and is better if we send Hawkins to Memphis. I’m truly hoping that’s the plan somehow.
Haha, thanks. Was looking for that thread. Good to see I got the first post in calling out this front office.
Turner and Kuzma for Poole and Hawkins, with Hawkins going to a third team saves Milwaukee $13 million immediately and gets them out of the rest of Turners contract. Plus opens a roster spot. Becomes slightly more appealing for them not having to take another guard.
A big part of winning in the NBA is playing guys that don’t suck. Hawkins actively hurts your team. Terrible on defense, takes a ton of shots and misses the large majority of them. Picking up his option was asinine and I and many others said the same that very day.
I’m not sure that’s totally true. Celtics discussed Mobley for Brown. Mobley will make $50 million this coming season and $120 million over the next four.
Tolerance test…….

Cavs get: Murphy and Poole

Pels get: Mobley and Strus

Realize there are serious financial implications to consider. Thoughts on something Iike that?
Brown is 30 and taking up 35% of the cap. It’s humerous to watch online fans discuss players’ worth.

That being said. I’m pretty shocked a team like ours can just sit there and say, nah, we’re good where we’re at.

We are trading for Ayton aren't we


I will never forget Ayton looking like Hakeem Olajuwon against Jonas.
It’s just a dial tone. And yes I know it’s a cell.
Y’all keep saying that but Kessler is an absolute game changer. Hes the best human rim protecter on the planet in my opinion.
Damn, stuffs moving even faster today than before. Virtually every decent center has been taken off the board this morning :(
Traded Jr Smith and PJ Brown for Tyson Chandler right about the same time as well. Best start to an offseason ever.
