re: Pels executive Blackstone to join Langdon in Detroit

[quote]Imagine being a pistons fan and being excited that they’re poaching guys from such a successful organization like the pelicans (sarcasm).[/quote]
Seriously. Only 6 teams haven’t won a playoff series since 2019, the pelicans and pistons are 2 of them. Just one pile of shite stealing from ano...

[quote]CJ is your guard, at least for a season. A CJ, Herb, Trey, Zion and Kat lineup puts four massively plus shooters around Zion. And I can’t see how Trey and Kat over BI and Jonas hurts your defense.
3 PT % last season:
CJ- 42.9%
Herb- 41.8%
Trey- 38%
Kat- 41.6%
If Trey is your least...

[quote]Same age as 2024 draft picks and he has two years of NBA experience. His defense is second only to Herb.
His offense has shown progress and i believe will become serviceable as a starter on the right team. Easier to learn to shoot than it is to learn innate defensive skills.[/quote]

Big on carter. Don't think he makes it to 21.
Someone will scoop that dude up a few spots before us.[/quote]
Absolutely love Carter. Reminds me of a 6'3 Jose. He's not making it to 21, but I would sprint to the podium if he did
If the centers are off the board, I would be very inte...

[quote]Boston kept hoarding first round picks with Ainge. They seem to have gotten over the hump once Ainge left and they started trading picks. Dallas went from Luka and a bunch of chumps to title contenders, all from trading first round picks.[/quote]
That’s also a lot easier to do when you ha...
re: Looking at this years stats for future Center Position
Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/30/24 at 7:51 pm
Honestly wouldn’t mind taking a shot at wiseman for the minimum.
How did griff let the center position get this bad? We’ve known Willie wasn’t a fan of JV for years, he couldn’t possibly have thought Larry was the long term solution. ...

[quote]Yeah, Hayes has scared me a bit about those with this knock. Hayes could have been pretty good, but just did not give a damn and has never grown up.[/quote]
Agreed but you'd be drafting Ware with the 21st pick in a shitty draft. It's a lot lower cost than drafting Hayes 8th. At 21 I think ...

[quote]I’m not as high on Smith. He clearly is a decent shooter for his size, but G-league bigs always scare me. It’s just so hard to get a read on those guys because of the type of play in the g-league. I’ve seen a decent amount of Smith highlights and watched a little bit of his games and yet have...

[quote]Dunn is a guy I’ve been intrigued by for a bit now, but not sure I’d want to take him at 21.
No surprise we are working him out. He screams pelicans guy and he fits that Herb/Dyson mold. Wing over 6’6+ with a 7’1 wingspan. Can’t shoot a lick, but damn can that dude defend. I’m always in fa...

Give me Missi, Ware or Tyler Smith and I'll be happy.
I'm really falling in love with Tyler Smith. 6'10.25 with a 7'1 wingspan with a 38" vert he and can really shoot it. ...

I think the Knicks would be open to getting off Mitchell Robinson. Hartenstein has been amazing for him and they want to resign him.
BI + EJ + 24 1st for Murray + Okongwu
Larry + 2 2nds for Mitchell Robinson (The Knicks save 3M this season and 13M next season by taking Larry's expiring)

[quote]Even though Nem has just burst on the scene more recently, he’s been clutch as hell the second he’s entered the league. He has numerous huge game winners in both the regular season and now in the playoffs. I honestly think he’s damn near equal to a CJ McCollum right now and he’s ascending whi...

[quote]We have a potential MVP caliber player in Zion.[/quote]
See when I watch MVP caliber guys like Jokic, Luka, SGA, and Embiid, I come away thinking that Zion isn't close to those dudes.
I can't call Zion a potential MVP caliber play when he is levels below those guys.
Zion couldn't ev...

[quote]Right
Not just that, Zion was 23/5 this season. We're not 25/5 away. We're zion being 30+ and 5 away or Zion eing 25/5 plus another top 10-15 level player.[/quote]
Yeah, I personally think Zion will never be a top 10 guy. He would have to make MAJOR leaps in his game to reach that and...

Posted by Balsamic_duck on 5/29/24 at 2:39 pm
[quote]But the question or discussion was around this season. 25/5 Zion is not getting us close to beating OKC or DEN or DAL. We clearly need more top end talent that also fits with what we're doing.

Yep, 25/5 Zion is like a top 20 player. We need a top 10 player if we even want to thin...

[quote]Hawks: BI
Cavs: Nance + Dyson + 24' 1st via Pels
Pels: Murray + Okongwu + Allen[/quote]
I was literally thinking about this exact trade. You probably need to throw 1 or 2 picks at ATL considering Murray is locked up long term and Okongwu is young and locked up but I'd still do that.
