I had to double check I wasn’t in r/nbacirclejerk.
If anything, he’s a tradeable asset. My worry is that he loses some of his overly shiny value the second he is out of the LA lights and away from Bron. So, I think you’d have to either move him in a 3-team, or have another trade ready.
That said, he’s got a bit of “the dawg”, who knows how he could rise to the occasion. Contract is cheap enough to find out, either way still a trade asset if we are talking Bulls.
OG makes more sense in every way, just have to wait and see which way Toronto decides to go.
Absolutely, I’m sure there’s an actual term for this, but the “who’s beaten who” chart has got to be at Pepe Silvia levels.
The TOs weren’t great, he’s never been the late drive kick out passer w/his size. But, I was really happy to see the 13 AST as a bit of a flag to … whomever … like “this is what can happen if we do this right”.
I hadn’t looked into the WAS stats… They are amazing…
The entire starting line has a negative +/- on/off per 100.
Jones, Poole, and Kuzma are half of the bottom 6, no filter.
Filtering for reasonable MPG, they are 1,2, and 4 respectively. Roughly -110 between the 3.
Started looking through the other bottom 20 players and adding up their entire teams net negative players, semi-arbitrary 2GP & 40 total MP min to avoid the Delano Banton’s of the world (-61…)
“*” = 4+ of top five in MP are net negative
Utah: -48*
Chicago: -50*
Portland: -53
San Antonio: -62
Boston: -64
Detroit: -69*
Memphis: -72*
GSW: -72*
Milwaukee: -74*
Orlando: -78
Brooklyn: -79*
Charlotte: -91
Toronto: -99
Clippers: -103
Denver: -105 (Strawther + Nnaji = -62)
And of course, drumroll…
Washington: -158*
This is a fine cherry picked bit, but Nurk earns his calls often. He’s really loose with his screens, and he gets fired up when he thinks it’s a bad call (PS he almost always thinks it’s a bad call), so he spends the game behind the count and becomes an easy drive target.
BOTTOM LINE: The Milwaukee Bucks begin the season at home against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Thanks, Magic.
You and 90% of the reporters his first half year at LSU
For sure. I definitely was throwing it out there as a comparison to Zach vs a reality. LA has an odd looming timeline too. This version probably has a 2-3 year expiration date (Bron retires to Vegas). Making a move now for anyone who is going to be getting paid, or will want to be paid, max/near-max money for 4-5 years doesn’t make sense.
