Around The League - Wolves v Mav’s and C’s v Indy

[paulpressey25]

That might have been the Knicks’ Game 3 vs. the Raptors in 2019.

This might be the Wolves game 3 against the Raptors.

I can't help but imagine what Giannis would be like with Jokic's soft touch.

Giddey unplayable in the playoffs, yet I come here and see Middleton straight up for Giddey trades. Freaking disgusting.

How many years does Giddey have in front of him? How many years does Midds have left? Why would anyone straight up trade Giddey for Midds knowing his career terminates in a few years. Could be great years in the right role on the right team! Meanwhile the incoming Giddey's next 6, 8, however many years are avail to whichever team trades what's done for what's about to happen

Just having Bobby or Brook's touch would move mountains. Giannis with Jokic's touch would be the most unfair player in the league.

Is it weird to ask Riot to put together a photoshop of this scenario?

This might seem strange coming from me.

But I'm kind of jealous of Grayson, he gets to be reunited with Bud.

I still think Bud is a bit overrated, however he is vastly superior to AG and Doc.

I got what I wished for, and I kind of regret it. Frame this post PP....lol.

The Suns just made the best single move they could towards righting that ship. He'll toss out the chaff role players and get those dudes in a system. He still might not get them past Minny, Denver, OKC, but he'll give those teams a run for their money.

For all my criticisms of Bud, Bud is a tailor made fit for this current Suns team.

To kind of echo what you said here, Bud is the perfect guy who can come in and get a veteran team on the right track and get the most out of them for 2-3 seasons.

I've always said this about about Bud, but he's the textbook example IMO of one those coaches who is really good for 2-3 years, then kind of goes stale after that. And that's about how much time the Sun's core has to at least make some noise and maybe win a couple playoff series. About the time Bud starts going stale, will be the same time that the Suns will begin a rebuild. I agree, I don't think the Sun's ceiling is reaching an NBA Finals, but they shouldn't be getting swept in the 1st round.

The Suns will be better in the regular season, and any offensive system will be better than what Vogel was doing. However, this won't help them win any playoff games.

Love to trade 2 good years for 8 bad ones.

I doubt Giddey ever has a single playoff series the caliber of the one Middleton just had. People have been predicting his downfall for years, continue to be wrong, and continue to fail to learn from the mistake.

I guess we are witnessing Donte's Peak.

Riot could fix up the movie poster.

I'm so sorry.

Couldn't have done it any better.

Working through the backlog.

As does everybody all the time since the beginning of time but in what world is that in play here.

I've seen that too, and I'm not one of them. Midds consistency is otherworldly. The hard reality is that TOO-SOON he won't be playing at all. And Giddey will be. Like it or not. Note I am not advocating this trade. Merely pointing out that any trade partner will not have time on its side. And that I'd probly trade, say, PJ Tucker for a decent upcoming #1 draft pick even though I'd bet his play that upcoming year would've been robust enought to kick it up a notch for us. re-litigate this for us

Giddey sucks. I’m not opposed to trading Khris but not for that weirdo.

[PG Graveyard]

With some of the New Orleans stuff floating around who says no?

Lopez/Mids for Ingraham/Nance
