Simmons' career dying has nothing to do with him being a non-shooter, it's all about injuries & mental problems. He was an effective player and a...
70% from the FT line, sure, very doable. I don't think he needs to be 36% from three though. Let's take Jimmy Butler as an example--been to the...
Yeah, I think that's the key sticking point along with the injuries and the general problems with trading with Danny Ainge. Lauri would make our...
C already happened (11% of Alpi's shots last season were from 11-16 feet and he made 51.3% of them). For B, I'd bet Amen's true talent level as a...
It's possible that Green will become better than Lauri, but I wouldn't bet on it at this point. His median/most likely outcome is a microwave...
I wouldn't do the latter trade, but Lauri is worth a lot more than just Green right now
Well, the Timberwolves did make it to the WCF with Towns as the #2 option. I would certainly have them as legitimate contenders if Ant takes a...
I do think Jalen has more self-creation in his game, but when a guy is that inefficient with it, I don't know how much you want him to be creating...
I'm not saying we should trade for him, but why do you think the skills he's shown would not translate to a better team? He largely scores off...
I think Lauri could be the second-best player on a championship contender, depending on who the best player is and what the rest of the roster...
There's still a chance he gets to that Fred VanVleet level where he just barely sneaks into one all-star game, but it looks like somewhere around...
Realistically, given that it's Danny Ainge we're talking about, the bare minimum he'd accept would probably be something like Jalen + Jabari + one...
Great fit on offense... bad fit on defense unless you think he can still get better in that area if you get him into Udoka's system. Going to be...
So many of them were self-created off the dribble That's the thing about Amen--his handle might not be great (yet) but his quickness is so elite...
The all-motor, all-"feel for the game" team
That's fair. So far the only player whose development I've been really happy with is Sengun. However, it's still early days on the Udoka era &...
If Josh Christopher turns out to be a Real Dude, even if that's just a nice career off the bench, I think we'll all have to admit that Stone's...
Guys who could be in the top five centers: Clearly top 5 Jokic Embiid AD (if he counts as a center) Maybe top 5 Wemby Bam Sabonis Gobert Alpi...
I mean he played all 82 games his rookie season, and was pretty healthy in college as well. Hopefully the leg thing last season was just a...
For me Reed and Clingan are both guys who profile as more likely to be "quality starter" than "star player". I think Reed has a higher chance of...
