thank gawd. the board lusting over him is like when everyone thought kyle o quinn was gonna be a steal

Have you seen him pass? Some of them were no look bounce passes he thought he was Magic Johnson... I was a doubter but he really can pass it!! He really plays like iHart, and he defends too 1.2 bpg in only 15mpg, compared to 1.1bpg in 25mpg for iHart

Gotdayum that's a bad contract. He is making almost as much as Ayton!

Mitch, Randle and picks for either Davis or Towns

Also you can move Mitch only for a starting center and keep Randle

The only downside of losing Hart now is the loss of a salary to put on a trades at deadline

Waiting for you to post this.

i was saving that for tommorow

Honestly we don't need a 24 and 12 center but who can't pass like Ayton, we need a center who can pass the ball in tight spaces to facilitate the O for the cutters, the shooters, JB, Mikal, Divo, Hart, Deuce, Randle... iHart can really pass it, but once he's gone, Goga was looking like a real alternative, cuz dude can really pass and defend maybe at same as/ even better rate than iHart, but he's gone too.

I think a center who can really pass that MIGHT be available is Domas... I think Domas-Fox pairing has been so and so, they even regressed this past season from 2 seasons ago when they took Warriors to 7 games. If the Kings want to try a different combination they can maybe try a higher scoring player in Randle?

Domas is not the shot blocker iHart is, but he leads the L in rebounding (13.7) and is a great passer (8.7 apg).

I've said many times I love Randle and what he gives us: physicality on offense, which is a different dimension from JB's shake and bake game that complete and make our offense much harder to guard. My stance to keep Randle was BEFORE the Mikal trade, I think Mikal and Randle aren't the best fit because Mikal isn't just a shooter/ cutter like OG and Divo, he needs space to operate inside the 3 pt line and Randle being in there sort of clogs it for him.

Similar contract, similar age, both All Stars, Domas - Randle trade can work.

Reduced to watching Richards highlights praying that the Hornets trade him to the Knicks, or that Ainge won't completely assrape Leon to get Kessler.

What a time.

I have to think that the Knick FO had a backup plan Mel...Because Ihart played hard and was professional(probably what his pro dad taught him) but his heart was not here...and the FO had to sense this...

when you are a professional- you can perform at a high level but you dont want to be there. You've never done this in your life?

Is Bruno Fernando a FA?

Just checking, as it's not a given the Hornets will want to trade with the Knicks.

Isaiah’s advanced and per minute stats were even better on the Cavs and Clippers btw. Higher points, assists, blocks, etc. He just fouled more before basically.

Thibs did not make Isaiah. If anything he held him back a bit, and made him change his game in order to fit what he wanted. Isaiah took 5 less FGA per 100 possessions with us (23 ppg down to 13-15 ppg) and had an Ast % almost half of what he did the 2 years before.

I will not be surprised if he blossoms more in OKC. Thibs is great for getting some guys, especially centers, to play well in his system but he definitely can limit them. That may have been another reason he left.

I’d do McBride for Kessler straight up. Then I’d sign Burks and Precious to 1-year or 2-year deals for depth and future trade purposes. We’d be right back to #2 or #3 on the power rankings.

that would make sense to me-hence the real reason he went to OKC TW...
