[The Otto Porter Movement] First it was just an afterthought, then came the movement, and now....

Ingles is not only a good 3 and D player, he also runs the pick and roll very nicely.

 

He is much more intelligent than someone like KJ McDaniels, but that is the sort of trade Elvis might pull at this point in the season, the “small trade” Codman alluded to after Thanksgiving. Just a 22-year old alternative to James Ennis essentially.

He is a career 30% shooter from three, so that’s a problem that needs work, but he isn’t a dumbass like MCW either, dribbling all over the place for only god knows why. He needs CP3/Harden more than anyone in the entire NBA, because he will never be the go-to offensive player the Pistons have wanted him to be. Sprint to the corners baby... Watch PJ.

 

hes typically on the opposing teams best wing very much of the time. not horrible by any means. Big fan of ingles. he's the type of player many don't really take notice on how he impacts the game.

 

My question now is why would Utah want to move him? (Thanks for the info, guys)

 

They wont, was just posting my thoughts on Joe Ingles haha.

 

Better a Jingles thread than a dirty Holic Winslow thread.

 

I understand hes always been pretty good from the corner. Probably was we put him there exclusively but on other teams he was more spread out. We increased his offensive efficiency output.

 

I think he would be the primary backup for both the 4 and 5. I imagine with Clark emerging so propsperously he would more play every backup 5 minute and split the backup 4 minutes with Clark.

 

For sure, it has worked out so well. Dude is shooting 61% from the right corner haha, that is absurd.

 

I mean sure, I'd make that deal at the deadline if nothing else materializes. Trade a wasted roster spot for a lottery ticket type. I wouldn't SEEK that trade though.

 

I didn't say I'd do it. And HE is good all the time.

 

That's what she said.

And there all pills for that (I hear).

 

I love that Clint is able to go 34 minutes a night, but it would be nice to have Keef in there to get hot occasionally so the big man can get some rest. It's a long season.

Morey did have the hots for Keef back in the day If I recall correctly. I remember hearing that we would have drafted him over Marcus If we had the opportunity to.

 

Johnson would be a minor move that could lead to a major move later. He's an expiring salary and a free lottery ticket.

 

Can't you swing for his expiring contract now and re-route it to the third team for the players we need/want now? Just wondering.

 

Sure. And then move them again at the deadline.

 

I would not mind Markieff at all. He's a tough defender and plays hard all the time. We have very little depth at the PF spot and he would be a great backup for Tucker. Plus, he's cheap and expiring.

 

And you would have his "bird rights" if things worked out well.

 

I'd rather have James Johnson tbh lol.

 

Between his price tag and his numbers falling off a cliff this year, I know why I’m hesitant.

What’s interesting is reading multiple posts of people complaining about Porter being gun-shy, not taking enough shots and essentially disappearing.

Does that sound familiar?

Say what you want about EG’s shooting this year, the man is fearless. I’d much rather have a fearless gunner taking shots and trying to get into a rhythm than to potentially have Ryno 2.0. I hope, for Porter’s sake, this isn’t a real issue. You’re making wayyyyy too much money to be afraid to take the shot.
