i think he would play the 4 here like he does now in minny. now that the knicks have seen it work with gobert, him and mitch would be real similar. randle would have to be traded there just to make the money work. he's making 50 mill next summer. and they don't need a 5 anyway with gobert and naz reid. it will open the floor a little because he'll shoot the 3 more than randle. but does it really make us any better ? nah. but he might be the only guy out there to get. kind of sad actually if this is what the end result of them getting a "star" is. how many picks is it gonna take to trade him for randle too ? i kind of feel like it shouldn't take any.

His game hasn't translated to the playoffs, to me he's just a stop gap to help us get there by making sure Tom doesn't play Jalen 47.5mpg. I don't see how you can put him on the court against better defenders who will quiet a lot of what he does down and then go at him on the other end.

Bojan however has been an effective/efficient offensive weapon in the playoffs.

You playing Brunson 48 mpg?




In the playoffs Jalen and DDV are gonna be playing a minimum of 43mpg, Burks is more for the regular season.

So Donte is the starting SG and backup PG for playoffs?

We’d still have enough assets to get another all star caliber playing if we’re flipping Julius for Towns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Julius plus 2/3 picks for towns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Flip Bojan and possibly Mitch with 2 firsts that gets us an all star wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're watching our guys play 40-42mpg in the regular season, what exactly do you think will happen in the playoffs? :lol:

i don't think so either. it's probably at best an even swap talent wise for a guy who's making 50 mill. i don't really get the obsession besides he wants to be here i guess. but he is caa. so...he might be coming :lol:

I think Thibs has no imagination and can’t fathom 8 minutes per game without an offense led by an iso rim-attack PG. My guess is he goes 8 man rotation plus about 8 minutes of AB playing poor-man’s Derrick Rose.

Formula = 100% mpg rim protector C + 100% mpg iso rim-attack PG

A maniacal formula he believes in so deeply that he was willing to hand the keys to Elfrid Payton.

Good shooting should translate but neither AB or BB is a spot shooter really.


bro... you sure?

bojan is in the 80+ percentile of spot-up shooters, and that's not even adjusted for minimum. dude shooting like 49% on 4 spot-ups per game. quite literally one of the best in the game.

i might have heard once or twice you don't like the trade, but damn. :lol:


Well if I’m wrong I’m wrong. But he also moves a lot with the ball. He’s more of a scorer who wants the ball than pure spot.

Not to save face but can we really use any Pistons stats? Burks doesn’t look like he’ll be hitting 39% of his 3’s.

Bojan has looked good but certainly does more than spot.

I guess my point is that the more dribbling a guy does the more it will skew the offense. DD was having a really good year. We are messing with the balance.

There is just so much you can do, obviously, in a 24 second clock.


i get it. not PURELY a spot up. i mean... i don't think that's a bad thing. also don't have reason to believe bogey won't shoot the open spot up when it's there. he's done that his whole career and created when needed. i don't think you have to worry about him making life unnecessarily difficult on offense.

MJ on the other hand...
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

He’s a better fit because he’s a way better shooter than Julius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As great as Julius has been he’s still not a great shooter and teams still dare him to shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t do that with Towns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus Towns is a better fit next to Mitch because he doesn’t exclusively operate in the paint like Julius does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah he seems a willing passer. Obv a good scorer but in the NBA I feel less is more.

And as far as AB, Deuce was doing it. You want some young players in the mix. It wasn’t the right move

They could have traded a protected pick for Bog or Hayward

The Burks thing has a low chance of turning out well

Adding Bog alone might have worked better
