[The Q]

And that's the thing with this trade. It was already really bad and can still get worse.

With ant and KAT around that seems unlikely

If kat is kat again instead of…2whatever he was this year, minny will be fine enough to not be an abomination

The problem is that the kind of assets they gave are what you give up for a player that can make you a contender.

As currently constructed, even if fully healthy they are a 6 seed or lower with no clear way to improve themselves.

Plus, seems like they have some guys they're going to have to pay pretty soon. His contract is going to hurt that.

You just hate him because he's french

Would be valid

 

[Shanemansj13]

They need a defensive anchor

A guy who doesn’t need the ball much

They have floor spacing 4s

It’s a good path back Imo

I agree but not for $40M/year

 

[thunderc]

Last year, I think ROY was the only one they got wrong.

Awesome for Shai. Not surprised Jalen finished 2nd for rookie of the year. It doesn’t appear Dort got any votes for all defense which is shocking to me.

 

[shopson67]

Those are some jacked up stats somehow, Jaylin Williams has 43, 10 more than Love and 16 more than Brunson.

Per game?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Disagree. Gobert makes up for the teams best player being a shit defender.

I don’t disagree on their needs and his fit. I disagree on adding a guy that is getting paid $40M/year to do that specific job.

Plus no sure thing Minny would move him when they would get little for him. It would look terrible on the FO a year later

 

[thunderc]

Per game?

Well no of course not but even if Williams played all 82 games his average is first. He isn’t on the list per game for some reason.

 

[shopson67]

Its yet to be disproven

Trumper logic

 

[shopson67]

Too priceless for words

Free Throws since AS break

James Harden 98
Austin Reaves 146

Harden is slacking, probably getting fat again.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I think Minny is better off trying to trade KAT. Very valuable asset, still young…you can make Ant the man and Gobert is still that defensive anchor.

Signing Ant to an extension is very tricky if they still have both Kat and Rudy

 

[shopson67]

Probably name confusion. His stats got averaged with the other JWilliams on the Thunder?

EDIT: He was omitted for some reason, should be first at .88/game (shows in the complete stats). Knock Reaves down 1 spot.

This is yesterday's argument sir lol

Trade 'em both and re-sign Naz Reid.

Harden getting fat is an everyday thing

Not sure how they can step out on only tabulating 16 ballots out of 100. That’s a really small sample size. I have many issues with that all defense. No Bam and no Bridges is a travesty.

 

[thunderc]

I’m surprised but he only played in 49 games so there must be a games played restriction on the average. He averaged .88 per game though so he really is the clear leader.
