The 2023-2024 NBA Season

Cam Whitmore

105 points in 97 minutes the past 5 games

damn near the whole league whiffed there

I wanted him so bad.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yea I knew on Bird rights. I'd imagine he wouldn't veto a trade to Phoenix. But yes that would depreciate his value to a team like Utah.

What does Phoenix have that Charlotte might want is the question....and yes I realize he doesn't make much. But, Charlotte is going to want more than a few 2nd rounders and a few warm bodies.

 

[The Q]

Makes it very difficult to trade him.

Exactly why the price will be lower than expected (as the original commented hinted at the price being an issue for Phoenix)

I’m really curious what the medical issue was.

Also

Kyle Neptune is a terrible coach


The nicest thing I can say about him is:

At least he didn’t pick st joes….

He’s a pure rental to anyone who trades for him who doesn’t have at least 20-25m in cap space if not more

Phoenix is all in for this is year due to durants age

I mean this really puts all their chips on the table cause they’re stuck with this bad new cba going full force next year

I know but the Suns don't have a 1st rounder to trade for like.....how many years?

Pelinka blew that one

Pelinka blew that one

No kidding.

Last offseason it looked like the Lakers did well in the offseason between the draft and FA.

Now, it looks like pure shit.

I was never a JHS fan

I actually didn’t like the lakers offseason and knew you’d be trying to move half these guys by now

Prince was my favorite move of their offseason

I’m surprised you guys didn’t trade the pick

Tyrese Haliburton played 22 minutes in each of his 3 games since returning, came off the bench last night, and they are 0-3 in those games. Also I didn’t see last night but I know he didn’t play the 4th in the first 2 games. This is all due to the 65 game rule

To me unless the dude is ultra athletic like the Thompson Brothers I am not fucking with a wing that doesn't shoot well in college/G league.

JHS had a sub 50 True shooting percentage whereas Cam was 58. You think of a guy like Reddish that had similar shooting stats in college but he had much better defensive metrics than JHS.

I get a lot of drafting anymore is projection but I'm a big pass on dudes who take 13 shots to score 12 points a game in college.

Hell even though I'm a homer give me Sensbaugh all day over JHS. His shooting blows JHS out of the water

Nothing wrong with slowly ramping a guy back into it

Sensabaugh was in my top 3 players available for that pick

Sadly so was whitehead

Whitmore was obviously the top guy. Can’t believe the magic passed twice

I could’ve defended taking him at 6

Prince has pretty solid overall.

Wood has been sporadic but Ham clearly isn't a fan. Not sure why he has started Hayes over him in 2 games recently.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I didn't like the Vincent pickup at all....people were trying to talk me into that being a solid move.

lol this is all because they want to hit the 65 game mark. You don’t bring a guy back this slowly after missing about 10 days. This isn’t a guy coming off an acl tear. Last season he likely miss at least 2 of these games but this is what the league wants. Guys playing at less than 100%

You all need to avoid Heat role players at all costs lol

Never bet on heat role players post heat lol

 

[bksballer89]

Have to give a guy more than 5 games though and in reality it’s been 4 games because the 5th was when he came back and realized the knee is still fucked up

 

[bksballer89]

I do think Gabe is better than Nunn though.
