Black has shown infinitely more than Hayes. At the very least, he isn't the worst shooter in the NBA like Hayes.


Cole is coming for that

If he keeps up his horrible play, for sure. If he doesn't turn it around soon, Black will have to be put in the rotation.

So you think his market will be much stronger in the Summer?


Not sure. Just don't force a trade.

The problem with Murray is that he isnt quite a point guard and he isnt quite a shooting guard.

That problem is fine when you play OK defense and you are next to Trae Young in the back court. Next to Paolo and Franz? No thanks.

I'd rather have a guy that doesnt require the ball in his hands + a real point guard to set them up in a half court.

except on the nights when Paolo or Franz just arent hitting. then having a guard that can score like he can is good.

Sealed the deal. Too low though, I think it needs to be 30 no 40 million to meet the floor.

Yeah, you can say this about any combination of players though.

And I'd bet you aren't talking about two guys in years 2 and 3 in those examples.

He got a lot of good chances and minutes, he just sucked. This should be a worry for any draft pick.

And Black has gotten chances too, not sure your point.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.
