Slim Pickens during pandemic. They gotta spread the lies pretty thin for click bait. Source quoting sources quoting sources...
Wall probably iso's more but at least Wall can dribble without losing the ball. Dipo cannot be 100% yet.
These are comically bad takes. He is not playing well right now but he is much better than this. Just a bad stretch for him. Either way he needs to play better so we can either trade him for more assets or consider keeping him if he starts to mesh. Not having a true roll man in Wood was hurting Oladipo and even Wall last night since they weren’t giving them a driving lane. It is a little worrisome that he couldn’t get by his man but he has proven he can do that. Just needs to adapt and not force it.
We'll likely have another 6-7 weeks of Oladipo because he can't be combined with another player until then. Let's give him some time to fit into the team and get his value up before pushing the panic button. A package of him and Tucker should be very appealing to play-off bound teams.
Seriously. Reminds me of when Harden had a bad day and someone on this board said, “I bet we can only get Tobias Harris for him.”
Orlando sorely needs a scorer --even an efficient one--badly. Make @D-rock happy and swap Vic for Aaron Gordon. When the Rockets have a former dunk contest participant on the roster we've finished no less than a WCF berth.
we already have john wall who won the dunk contest in 2014 and eric gordon, who participated in 2010, and ben mclemore who also was in the dunk contest in 2014. so i guess we got the wcf on lock? haha i'd hope we can get a better deal than aaron gordon in an oladipo+tucker trade package... get some first rd picks instead. or deal with a young playoff needy time like the suns or hawks and try to pry some of their young wings. without harden, doesn't make sense to commit 17-18mil on aaron gordon unless orlando is dumb enough to attach some first rounders to the deal. ag has never been an efficient shooter and doesn't really excel at any one thing offensively or defensively besides dunking. ag+john wall+wood isnt winning anything so i'd rather just pare it down and get players with more upside/draft picks/cap room and build for the future
Great idea we need to give D-Rock that one for his persistence alone! He can also coach up KJ for his future Dunk Comp since AG has formerly retired from the event.
Because we’re winning with him and have plenty of draft capital to surround Wood and him with talent.
