I can’t imagine wanting to rebuild my entire franchise around Scottie Barnes.

Does anyone really think he’ll ever be a superstar mvp type player?

You’re joking right

I really want him to succeed but why was everyone so quick to crown a poor defensive undersized point guard who isn’t a great shooter. That’s like the least valuable player type in today’s nba.

Like what’s his ceiling?

[–] Batman_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No.

High volume scorers that are poor defenders are impossible to build a winner around. Dame is the highest level of that player type and his ceiling on his own wasn’t close to a championship.

If you can’t play defense then you have to be multi-dimensional and elite at some other part of the offense. Steph Curry doesn’t just score he opens up the entire fucking offense every position with us movement and scoring threat. If maxey reaches his ceiling then what’s a good player comp and how successful was that player as a team cornerstone

Bro you’re way overthinking this. His comments were ostensibly him pressuring the FO to make that dame trade

[–] Batman_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

His thought process is that ownership won’t let him go deep into the tax so trading cheap long term assets for expensive short ones is way too risky and could completely handicap them.

By all accounts it doesn’t seem as if the heat were ever really true players for most of these star trades.

Crazy how many people were so ready to write Wemby off before we ever saw him play a preseason minute of NBA basketball.

Feel like we need a flair for everyone here that was convinced he was gonna be a bust.

Well said. If you are a fan of basketball in anyway you get excited watching this clip

[–] Batman_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What’s funny is Windhorst kept saying this exact thing would happen and everyone chalked it up to him trying to be the Wemby guy

[–] Batman_in_hiding@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
