Grayson Allen to Bucks

[LuessiT]

Not agreeing with him, but Fotis is correct on the use of the phrase "wrong side of 30" here. It simply means someone's past that age.

Iiiiiii don't think I've ever heard it used earnestly for someone who just turned 30 though. It's technically correct but substantively bankrupt.

Actually we had this exact use in one of our english text books in school iirc. Something like 'A turned 30 two days ago. He's now on the wrong side of thirty.'

[crowhead76]

He's literally on neither side of 30, having turned 30 6 days ago.

I don't think he understands that expression

He is 30+ , so he is on the wrong side.
We won the chip, but I am not being delusional that suddenly Khris has super powers he doesn't have. So my mindset is to keep the scheme that brought us the ring, and that scheme doesn't include a lineup with Khris at the PF and 2 other 6'5 dudes in the same lineup like Donte and Allen...

So what you are saying is replace them with 2 other 6'5" dudes like Pat and PJ.

I do agree that they could use a switchable defender with length however.

Yeah, I think I almost always see it used that way. Think the issue is it doesn't really work in this context because in the NBA just turning 30 means you're in the middle of your prime. Maybe the wrong side of 35 or something.

I really want to do a math lesson about the difference between integers and other real numbers.

Someone posted that Grayson Allen shot well at the playoffs .... well not true ...

In 5 Games 23.1 min Per Game , averaging 6.4 points , 2.4 Rebounds , FG% 36.4, 3P% 38.1 (8 made 3s in 21 attempts) and the total assists in 116 min,

Nah, those stats don't include the PI game against GS. He was 4-5 on his 3s and hit two huge shots in OT. Couple real good plays on D, too.

What I really like is he's got a lot of room for improvement. He'll get better in MLK.

Can we expect Allen to get the opportunity to defend KD against the nets?

No, we tried the "short guy on 7footer" thing last year, it didn't end well. Australia tried Thybulle and Exum, KD was still shooting over them. Even Ojeleye is too small.

KD is either gonna be double teamed every time he gets the ball, otherwise the most suitable 1-1 defender is Khris or Giannis. Giannis can only do it for a few possessions because he's foul prone and too valuable as a free safety / rim protector and rebounder on D, so that leaves Khris. Would be nice if Hood is healthy and available as an option because he's long, and although he's pretty bad as a team defender he's actually pretty decent on ball.

Yeah, you're right. I guess I only used that expression when they're well into their 30's, not when they turned it last week

I hope we sign a Forbes like player.
At least we have Pat, his 3p% was 44.1 at 2021 playoffs.
Is JJ Reddick still available ?
Mike James or Isaiah Thomas maybe ?
Horst , pickup the phone, add a shooter just in case we start bricking ...

I agree if your goal is to have a regular season or maybe early playoff gimmick. Forbes was great against Miami but they couldn't effectively target him on offense and they were picking their poison on defense. He was out of the rotation by Gm2 against Brooklyn and stayed that way. The guys you mentioned are maybe even more one sided than Forbes.

Our team is centered on defense and our backcourt rotation beyond Jrue of the three most athletic white guys in recent memory can all stay on the floor defensively. If they can stay close to their regular season shooting that's gravy.

[Perseus1966]

The best defence against KD is a 4/4 over play or deny the pass as americans say.

Hilarious you bring up Mike James a career 28% three point shooter and Isaiah Thomas a career 36% shooter who has played 40 or more games in a season once in the last six years.

Imagine playing pretend GM but for real, tracking every move and every draft pick you would have made. Moves that would have sent every core piece away including the NBA Finals MVP and top 2 player in the world. Then after years of touting those ill-advised moves, the actual team wins the championship but you still insist the team is wrong and you are right. Imagine, shudder.

I have been posting Khris trades for 5 years. Diallo's salary never matched Khris salary so it must included something else.
I thought "All the Bucks" was referring about me with his post, but I've never posted a Giannis trade idea.
If he is indeed referring to myself, he is lying by adding that glorifying lie that I proposed a Giannis trade idea.

I don't know why are you so itchy with any Khris talk. I posted that he should not get any minutes at PF, cause I indeed want to protect him from , foul trouble , fatigue, more rebounding responsibilities, setting some picks and in general I want him exactly as Bud used him to win the Championship. That is his role, be our closer especially at the 4th quarter.

So for some posters I can't talk anything about Khris cause I am Khris hater , a poster who wanted to trade Giannis .... wtf ? I am talking basketball some are talking s**t and lie.

[ackypoo]

really happy with the trade, really happy with the re-signing. if you look at his performance last night youll see he shot like garbage, and still was an integral part to the win.

[Turk Nowitzki]

Yeah he fit right in with the guys, nice to see. Just gotta start hitting those open looks because there's going to be a lot of them.

[M-C-G]

This move was good. 25 games in and per 36 line of 17 pts 5 boards 1.7 assist, TS of .625. Second best Ortg behind only Pat and respectable Drtg.

Still only 26 and now locked up the next two seasons. Well done Horst, you hit the ground like a rocket ship on this one!

[Ron Swanson]

42.5% on 9 attempts per-36. Elite shooting Grayson still Elite shooting and I'll take my victory lap now, please and thank you.

[Ruzious]

No, that'll be Thaddeus Young.
