The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[The Q]

This is a lie lol

Jimmy was 22 in his rookie year just like he is

Jacquez is like .6 years older than him

Saying a 4 year guy is going to be a solid role player in the league is putting a kid down? Is this your son or something? This comment from you is gayer than Richard Simmons and a bag of dicks. You’re usually better than this.

He can be more than a solid role player imo

 

[bksballer89]

Jacquez is like .6 years older than him

Yeah but not a whole year or 2 as you said. 6 or 7 months i believe

 

[Gman]

His footwork.

lol... no offense.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy solid fundamentals as much as any old-school fan of NBA basketball.

Payton Pritchard on the Celtics has rock-solid fundamentals too.

But 'footwork' is not a singular basis for all-star potential. It just isn't.

 

[Gman]

Why are you asking more questions? You asked for 1 and i gave you 1 lol now leave me alone.

lol... ok.

Anyone can make the all star game. It requires a great first 40 games

So that’s legit super sub on a team right? For me it’s Batman, Robin, Alfred the Butler, a super sub with elite scoring or elite level defense off the bench, solid role player. I slot him in the last group. Where are you slotting his ceiling.

 

[bksballer89]

All nba is more of a stretch as it requires you to basically be a top 20 player aka star or superstar

 

[PPhan]

I’ll step out and say solid role player is the ceiling. What do you want to bet? What would be the time line parameter you want to put on the bet. What other particulars do you want to lay out. Should we do Venmo or Cashapp. Just send me a personal message for the details and we can get this nailed down and we can both put our money where our mouth is.

It's not that serious, lol.

Read my post again. I never said the guy will be an all star, but you'd be foolish to say it's not even possible.

Yeah... but who makes even the lowly all-star game on things like footwork and instincts alone?

Maybe if Jacquez was an elite defender or something like that as well... but he's just not that guy, he doesn't have the quicks for it.

Jacquez is what he is: a decent role player on a team that gets the most out of their role guys. Max Strus or Gabe Vincent, the next iteration.

Nah all star game are about numbers and maybe team success. Kyle Korver made an all star game

One turns 22 his rookie year, the other 23….

But even more importantly, why would you characterize this as people “putting him down.” This conversation started with people praising dude. I think I need to write you a prescription: no Heat Twitter for the next two weeks. It’s a dangerous place that fuels delusion with intense exposure over time. It has people convinced that you can acquire guys like Dame or Jrue for the rotting corpse of Kyle Lowry, Nikola Jovic and a pick swap in 2042.

 

[bksballer89]

Jimmy turned 22 before his first nba game. Jaime will have played about 50 nba games or so before he turns 23. We are talking about 30 or so games....not 1 or 2 years

Unless you’re Tobias Harris.

Amazing trade

I’d be foolish to step out on saying something that has a 90% chance of going the way I said it would go? Do you drive an automobile sir or is operating a motor vehicle risky behavior in your eyes?

Kyle Korver was basically the most deadly 3 pt shooter in the NBA at that time.

But fair enough... that is about the closest comparison I could think up, too... if Jacquez maximizes his potential.

Like I said earlier... anything's possible.

Right? And it still clears anything Heat could have sent.

Nah heat had better players now. They need to hit on those picks to make them look smart so time will tell
