Lakers would likely try to negotiate the swaps, but realistically their '26 pick will be around #20, and they'd end up with two all time greats in...
Below is a thought exercise of a trade construction, to rationalize our future. The money and draft picks work on draft night. Folks on this board...
Everybody around the NBA has known for a decade what it looks like when you put multiple non shooters on the floor, and the defense truly...
Here’s the left field answer: the problem for the Rockets was the Luka trade. Our FO has been stockpiling high value picks and young players for...
If anyone thinks the Rockets FO would trade a FRP to rent a defensively challenged 2 guard who contributes nothing but streaky scoring and has...
I think people don’t understand Tari. All of Tari’s positive impact comes from possession maxxing. His ORB + DRB + Def playmaking impact are...
FVV did not fit the bill perfectly, he just provided a baseline that wasn't broken, and defended reasonably well. We have to aim higher than FVV...
For sure, the only thing that matters with Reed is whether he can be a high-level primary action guy leading a good offense. If he isn't that, he...
"Who plays PG?" is a dated way of thinking about it. "Who is the on-ball perimeter initiator?" or "Who runs the PnR's?" are better questions....
I'm not the world's biggest Sengun fan, but he's at worst a top 15-20 trade asset in the NBA right now. Just practically speaking. A "full draft"...
If I were Stone I would not do the trade, purely out of personal preference. Not my favorite brand of basketball to watch, and not a big fan of...
Ime doesn’t hate Reed. He just doesn’t think Reed matters much. He thinks of him like he thought of year two Payton Pritchard. A young specialist...
These takes about Reed needing to get off the ball because "Reed on ball doesn't work" seem way off, IMO. Obviously Reed is a very good spot-up...
I don't understand this logic, but I see it all the time. "Player X has now dropped to his lowest value, via injury or underperformance, therefore...
Can't rule it out, but at this point there's more upside in holding Tari than trading him. We wouldn't get anything great for him in trade right...
Probably yeah - aside from if a surprise buyout guy comes available who is wing sized and can handle/pass. I.e., Lonzo Ball if the Cavs are...
Couple things that should be obvious. 1. The FO makes in-season trades, not Ime. They like Reed, they think he is good, and are personally...
Ha, this wasn't my conclusion at all. I'm personally high on Reed -- but as an offensive primary, in an offense with lots of screening actions...
That Jalen Brunson-style knack for beating his man in a phonebooth via balance/weird off-rhythm movement/quicker thinking, and without obvious...
He has a slow first step, stiff hips, isn't rangy, and doesn't have much natural elusiveness / agility. Nor does he have that old man game feel...
