Better hope those draft picks were worth it...
Presti is overrated . getting that haul from LAC looks good, but none of those picks are good, and putting Russ in trade talks now has the one guy that was committed to the org in Westbrook wanting out.


SGA is a future star and the 2024 and 2026 LAC picks, along with the 2 swaps, could be really good. I don't think the message from the moves the last few days is that Presti is overrated, since it was Ibaka for Dipo, Sabonis; then Dipo Sabonis for PG; then PG for SGA, 5 picks, two swaps.

The impression that I have gotten is that he has an itchy trigger finger and often takes less than he should. Goes for the picks this time around and SGA is not a all star upside player imo. He will be a solid starter but lacks the motor and work ethic to become great.

how do you have that assement on SGA after 1 yr? SGA is legimate 2 way PG right now from what he showed last season, so what exactly are you seeing or using to base your "lacks motor and work ethic" stuff from?

Ahah, sorry about that. My brother and I spend quite some time every day on those files, and we're very happy to share them on Twitter and RealGM.
But I confess, between that work, my job and everything, it's hard to find additional time to answer here when the season starts (otherwise I know a girl who'd be quite mad and I don't want to sleep alone... :lol: ). I try to watch a couple games every week thought.
But we see all your replies don't worry, funny to see how far you can go :D


Hey man, I'm a big fan. If you get a chance, can I please get a shoutout?

Also, please keep calling the Milwaukee Bucks arena "Bradley Center" on your stat sheets. I love how annoyed Bucks fans get by it :lol:

I heard he didn't want to play in CLE around the time of the draft...I wouldn't trust anyone that arrogant that hadn't proved anything yet. He has a very laid back personality much like Wiggins. Maybe I am wrong, it is early, but I don't see him being more than a Livingston type

not wanting to play for Clev doesn't make him lazy nor have a strong work ethic, and he's already proven to be better than livingston, livingston couldn't shoot worth a lick even before his nasty leg injury, SGA probably already hit as many 3's in his rookie season than livingston has in his career.

I've said my peace... I think SGA is not a high motor player and I think you would have to have not been watching to not see that/ maybe he does have a decent work ethic , but usually one isn't there without the other.I think he will have a career similar to Livingston and shooting a couple 3's isn't changing that.

your gripe with SGA seems more like a personal feeling issue rather than actual results
