Oh come on....

Thats what the numbers say.

You’ll win most times by trading Kessler’s FT shooting versus Tatum ISO.

Tatum only shoots 36% on crunch time.

Fultz is very talented, even without a 3 ball. Its a shame what happened to him. If his bizarre injury didnt happen and he could shot 4-6 3s per game at 35-38% he would be a star, better than Tatum. Hes a great passer, and very craft with his dribble and mid range jumper. Wish we could still have him.

Kessler shots 2 FTs a game, Tatum ISO 17% of the time, volume is a thing...

This is like saying Isaac Okoro should ISO more because he has the highest ppp on ISO on the league

Next two games against the Bulls ain’t gonna be easy. Usually teams split back to back games while Bulls is fighting for the playoff life

REPORT: Mitchell Robinson wants to join the L.A. Clippers this summer.

- According to Shams, Mitchell Robinson is frustrated with his role on the New York Knicks and he believes he's much more of an offensive threat.

It's a weird comparison. It also removes all context of the FTs. Kessler already absolutely sucks at FTs as a rookie, imagine needing to hit clutch to win the game. We watched him blow two of them in the beginning of the video posted. I would hate to rely on him to hit 2 free throws in pressure situations if I were Utah.

The curse of Ben Simmons continues to haunt. We were so quick to pull the trigger on moving Fultz for a salary dump because we had Ben Simmons in the fold and were fine with him as our point guard. It's a shame because fast forward to this year and ask people who they'd rather have on their team at this very moment and I'm willing to bet that 90% of them say Markelle Fultz.

I think we can win both Bulls games but we're bound to lose one of the GSW/Suns games or even both.

Brutal schedule, weeks on the road, back to back and GSW is the best home team in the league, looks like schedule loses

If I remember right, after we traded for Butler, Fultz began faking another injury and started sitting out and then demanded a trade.

I’m happy for Fultz that he got over whatever the heck was going on with him the first two years, and the various big injuries he’s had since, but I’m not exactly missing a guy putting up 14/6 on a bad team 4 years after we traded him, especially with basically getting Maxey for him.

Obviously you prefer that your number 1 pick be a great player but really things worked out relatively well with trading both Fultz and Simmons all things considered.

You're right, I do remember that going down. I stand corrected. Yeah, he got all pouty and ****. I remember we were trying to really bring him along slowly. Simmons would throw him the ball like you throw it to your son at the park. It truly was a mess with Fultz at the time and the frustration began to boil over. If Maxey was ultimately what we got in return for him, then I can't complain about that at all. I'm glad he's gelling in Orlando though. I never rooted for him to fail, it was just a shame that it never worked out after all we went through to get that pick.

I feel like Keegan Murray hasn’t been getting enough hype for his rookie year. Comes in on day 1 & starts every game for 50 win team averaging an efficient 12/5.

Monte McNair has had an unreal couple of years as GM now. Sabonis trade, Heurter trade, & Murray pick. He should win Executive of the Year.

Lob City 2.0? They just need their next CP3.

Toronto is hanging with Milwaukee at halftime down 2. It would normally take a high amount of agonizing torture for me to ever root for the Raptors to ever win a game in this league, but tonight we need our bitter rivals to do us a favor.

It looks like they’re gonna take care of business in the 4th. Middleton has been excellent this game he starting to round into form.

I really want to play them in the ECF I think it’d be an incredibly fun series.

I feel like it’s just a given that if you take a 22 year old that projects as a role player with the 4th pick in the draft he should at least be able to fill that role right away.

If only drafting were that easy lol. I think picking Murray over Ivey was kinda controversial & deserves respect for how it’s paying off.
