Anyway I could not predict that a human being can't gain weight while eating 7 meals a day .... I didn't predict he probably **** "flushes his toilet" 20 times per day and can't gain a single pound ..
The weight was definitely an issue but I think the much larger issue was that he sucked at basketball.

Any trade that has someone other than Bledsoe playing PG at playoff time moves the needle.

Hill seems redundant. Could we get a draft pick or something for him? If we trade him for another player, a wing like Morris or Gay makes the most sense.
Brook/Gasol
Giannis/X
Middleton/X/Thanasis
Matthews/DDV
CP3/Terry
Did we get Marc Gasol somehow? Or is that Canadian confusion (a really friendly Pokemon attack?!?)
I think he means Pau

KhrisMissaton wrote:First time caller, long time listener. What is board consensus here on what should be done when/if Giannis turns down supermax this year? I feel like everyone I've seen thinks we should ride it out and try to win it this year. To me that's crazy. If he doesn't want to sign now, our chances of getting over the hump with what will more than likely be fairly minor changes (given our lack of ammo to bring in a second star) and convincing him to stay are not great IMO. I think if he doesn't sign now, it'd be irresponsible to not see if there's some team willing to give us a PG like package (or really, should be better than that) for him.
Like what if Boston falls short and was willing to give us something centered around Tatum?

That's key to mid's point, though: the idea that a "45 win team" winning 60 games is meaningless come playoff time. My argument is that 45 win teams don't typically make the conference finals. The regular season is different from the postseason but if it was the night and day difference I've heard on this board and from like Bob Myers, our playoff disappointments would be even more profound. That Atlanta team literally beat a 46 win team in the 2nd round.
Fact is we were not playing our best ball at the end of the *regular season* either year (this year in particular), and we fell short of expectations (this year in particular). Last year I remember looking at all the month by month metrics and while we were dominant much of the year, in the last couple months we were just ordinary Very Good. Like, arguably but not clearly the best team. Meanwhile Toronto was whipping asses post Gasol trade. It carries over.

I’ve finally dabbled with the trade machine and this is what I’m sticking with
Eric Bledsoe to NYK
Elfrid Payton to SA
Patty Mills to MKE

I'd do the CP3 one in a heartbeat. I'd probably do the Bjelica one depending on which 2nd round pick is included. If it's #35, definite yes. #43 probably still a yes but a bit more painful. #52...I don't know. Might still be a yes but giving up the 1st hurts pretty bad in that scenario for me.
The Middleton-Jrue one is horrendous and the Lou one is somewhat believable but I'd strongly prefer not to do it.

I think Popovich may have improved him ... I need to see more
He averaged 5.6 assists per game this season same as Giannis ...
18-19 Season he averaged 6.2 assists per game ... hmm are we sleeping on this fella ?
And he goes to the line alot 6.6 FTA making 5.6 , 84.5 FT% vs Giannis making 6.3 Fts on 10 FTA 63.3 FT% ...

We'll do much better than that. Knicks are going to cut Payton anyway, he's not guaranteed, like most of their roster.

Found this from a few years back
“They already traded one future first-round pick for Bledsoe. The Bucks and Hawks discussed a similar deal for Dennis Schroeder before Bledsoe became available, according to several league sources.”
