Lester Earl

Cabrera could be a SEC weekend starter if he wanted to ...

On the surface I am seeing what you are saying but to me still seems like a fan talking point. I’m not sure it affects AD’s status, especially considering: A) the team he will be traded to will be on his list B) the package will be tailored differently than that of the Spurs. Trading Derozan ...

Let Beloso throw too ...

21yr old potential star making $5mil >>>>>>30year Tier 2 “star” making $27mil There’s a reason the Spurs win total didn’t budge with the addition of Derozan from last year where Leonard didn’t even play...

This board would be so much better if all those people were banned ...

He could be, don’t know for sure. But I think the pelicans goal is to get a going guy on his first contract that has all star potential. Those guys have different value than someone like derozan. shite the pistons and cavs would give away perennial all stars like griffin & love if they could. General...

[quote] shite RJ Barrett can be a perennial all star eventually. Is trading for the 3rd pick the same as trading for Demar Derozan? [/quote] I’m not talking about rookies, but say jayson Tatum is a guy who is on the cusp of being an all star ...

Picks aren’t worth much for a guy like that unless the pick is known & a “Zion” or known commodity is sitting there ...

[quote]That’s much easier to offer than a legitimate all star at the time of the trade. [/quote] Lol no it’s not [quote]a tough get especially with the uncertainty of Leonard’s health at the time.[/quote] It’s not that they are tough to get, it’s that no one wants their contracts. ...

Your splitting hairs over words at this point . And the spurs took the best package they were offered, end of story ...

The pels want the same thing ...

It was never going to be what people thought ie every good player on the Celtics plus picks ...

[quote]but as the deals from the other teams seem to have soured some[/quote] Who would have thought : / I mean speaking of Kawhai deal, the return to The Spurs was meh AF for a player of Leonard’s caliber. Trading a guy with 1 year kills value In the end AD’s market will be small. My pred...

hopefully he learned his lesson with eric walker. Its just not worth it...

[quote]ow much he's going to get to the line is kind of impossible to predict so I dont even consider that as an argument.[/quote] But you can predict he is going to go 25/12, which only 13 players have done in the last 40 years by the way, but you cant predict if he will ever be able to draw f...

I’m just generalizing, he could average a few more a game. But his FG% will stabilize, he doesn’t get to the line & he isn’t shooting 3’s at this point. 18-20 a game isn’t out of the question. How big of an impact that is on modern basketball is tho...

Jacoby Ford ...

[quote]didnt use stats but you knock him for not being as good as the best quality of every other big man in their prime. [/quote] Because he has shown no redeeming skill outside of scoring and rebounding and no one is winning anything with your traditional 18/10 big man anymore. . Explain to me...

What was his TS%...

[quote]You've made numerous posts trying to compare Ayton as a rookie to players at their peak which is not a good comparison to begin with[/quote] a good rookie season numbers-wise does not guarantee a player future success I haven’t once said he was like any player because of their stats....
