NBA 2022-23 Regular Season Thread Volume 1

[dolphinatik]

so we cut Orlando Robinson , sign Dru Smith... that seams about right. I continue to be confused about what this team is doing.

[Flash4thewin]

Crowder only makes sense if we're dumping Robinson's contract And don't overpay - anything more then a Strus or a Gabe or 1 protected FRP will be an overpay.

If crowder costs more then that, go after PJ Washington, Markennen, hell even Derozen might be attainable.

All 3 bring a much higher upside - which we need.

Im not even sure Crowder will be better then Jovic in 3 monthes

Crowder makes sense cause he’s really the only name that makes sense above for a Duncan and pick package. Markannen has become Ainge’s golden boy and is the absolute perfect fit with Utah. DeRozan is making 28 million. You think the Bulls want Duncan’s contract and a broken down Oladipo filler? We don’t need to be giving up two picks in that deal which is probably the minimum for what the Bulls will want to take that on. They most likely want an expiring for DeRozan and pick. PJ Washington would be a great get but curious what a deal looks like. Hornets have full control as he’s restricted next year. Dedmon, Strus, and Future 1st do it for the Hornets? They probably shop him around and get a better deal.

Thats also ignoring the elephant in the room, the Sun will be sold so they have no reason to take on our horrible contract. Duncan has 4 years left. Just from a common sense stand point they are better off keeping Crowder past the trade deadline and cutting him so he cant sign with a playoff team than taking Duncan and a pick.

The Knicks traded a lottery pick to move Kemba and he had way less years than Duncan, so when people say one first round draft pick, or a protected draft pick, that's unlikely and unrealistic.

The Knicks got back 3 first round picks in that deal

Not every deal is the same either. Just because one team did something doesn’t mean others will. Just because the wolves were idiots and gave up 5 picks for Gobert doesn’t mean another team would have. It’s why you saw a much better player in Mitchell go for even less than Gobert did

Let’s hope Spo doesn’t go away from it when we’re fully healthy.

In November he’s averaged 22-11-4-1-1, last 6 24-12-3

It's gonna go down once Jimmy is back unfortunately. Unless we pick up the pace when he returns, he's going to need his touches.

If he’s not getting 16-18 shots a game when everyone is back it’s a major knock on Spo imo

Crowder won't save us

Idk what management sees in him rn that would make us want him so badly.

Expiring contract, knows the system, chance to get Duncan off books. I’m sure they want others but beggars can’t be choosers when you want a team to eat over 60 million left on a deal for a player who’s probably worth minimum.

I guarantee we will make a run again to get a slot in the playoffs (top 6) if we get Crowder. But still doubt a team will absorb Duncan's horrendous contract. I still hope so lol

I guess one positive of them trying so hard to move Duncan’s contract for crowder (if rumors are true) is that they still have high hopes for Dipo. Otherwise it’s a much easier match salary wise

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I wonder what the clippers view PG and Kawhis value as. I doubt they shake it up this season but if it’s another failure of a year I wonder if we explore getting either with Wall too

Our best defender, arguably our best scorer. If this team starts winning he’s going to get the recognition he deserves with his first time being all nba.

[dshearn]

just about to watch that Atlanta game a few hours late, only because Caleb showed up in the stat sheet again.

Herro's shot appears to be in a funk, but that is what 20 assists in the last 2 games against 7 turn overs?
