He’s starting to look stronger to me. He scored several buckets in that game off his length and he showed some grown man strength. Idk, Giannis took off in the second half of his third year, maybe we were too quick to give up on him.

At least this FO didn’t panic and trade him while his value was in the toilet.


I never gave up on BI and Zu. :D :D :D :D


Me neither. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t trade them for AD either, though.

Ingram’s defense has been consistently good and his offense is looking smarter by the game.

Young players like BI and Zu need games like yesterday where they get a chance to dominate a bit. If we’re lucky, both of them realized yeasterday that they should try playing that way against anyone and everyone. Moments like that can make the scared rook realize he’s a fierce pro, and from that point on play like it.

If the reports were true that Zu is part of the trade I would somehow try to convince Pels to take Hart instead and I would even add Mo or a draft pick just to keep Zu. if pels insist then I would gave up Zu with a heavy heart.

Yeah, I get that they want Zu because you never trade big for small unless completely tilted return of talent. Since he’s the best big in the game, I’m afraid I don’t think we’ll retain Zu in this deal. I’d be shocked.

If just one of Zu, Ball, Kuz could stay together with BI, it’s a complete no-brainer.


KCP and two picks? Third team who need an expiring and have an extra dude at point who doesn’t get enough minutes...?
