Should have taken that deal. Ford Pinto's are a classic highly prized right now.

Pretty sure it was Kyle Lowry at a time where we desperately needed a legit PG. Then again when have we never needed a good point guard?

RJ is never going to be as good as Zion or Ja but he will be a player we cannot live without. The glue to the team who puts everything together. Modern day Dave DeBusschere.

Nah, his availability makes him better than Zion.

Ja is on another level. These two guys are bums compared to him.

We must invoke "Alternate side of the poll" voting on RJ - Tues, Thurs and Sat = Bust; Mon, Wed and Fri = not bust.

Ja still has to win big but obviously his numbers off the charts. It's not JUST me being pro RJ.

I feel same about Dame. Big scoring points are a tough way to build a great team. Except Steph.

Luca is a world class athlete? This reminds me of people not knowing what the fk their talking about, lol.

Magic wasn’t the greatest athlete, did you even see him play?
Luca and Magic are not world class athletes. And Zion's work ethic is extremely questionable.

However, RJ doesn't have the special feel that three of then have or the overwhelming size of Zion.

Most of those guys are special because of their creative passing. That's where RJ actually needs to develop.

We should all just appreciate that fact and carry on focusing building with him and Julius. It’s not rocket science. That’s what good teams do, believe or not.

Hears to hoping the kid continues his strides his the postseason and hopefully takes it up another notch, on some Goku dragonball z type ish.
Because if you aren't MJ immediately or another team has a player of similar appeal crazed New York fans think they got trash.
