Jesus people.

Not for pennies on the dollar but because I am not a fan of his contract's upside, if Minny offered us Randle plus Detroit 1st plus 2nds, then in separate trades were took on Dillingham and Miller into our MLE exception, I would strongly consider it. It would be nice to find a 3rd team for Randle...Maybe you consider that a pennies on the dollar trade though.


With one season already down the drain, at best it ends up being a "fair" contract. It is going to be hard to ever say it's a "great value" or "steal" of a contract. Having said that, I am fine with it because I was in the minority that predicted it would be in the 30s, and because I know we have to add a little on top for the "being in Toronto tax".

Sorry bud but it's not the 2000s anymore, low 30s for a guy his caliber after his showing in new York market isn't a minority prediction worthy of much laurels. Top contracts these days are in the 50s this feels normal find a new slant

Yes, yes he is.

He is younger and has to chance to be better, but as of right now what part of his game is better?

Nothing matters except the actions or inaction Masai will do leading up to the trade deadline.

Bc you dont know basketball. Not surprised Houston wants him, too. Elite defensive player. One day you'll learn defence wins championships. We won our ship bc of defence. We won the last bit of games bc of defence.

Rui is not an elite defensive player, not even close - he's a tweener. Doesn't have elite foot speed or length, doesn't get around screens particular well, doesn't protect the rim or switch well. He's not terrible, but far from elite.

…..Robert Williams.

….robert Williams knee….

….Jakob poertl’s prime….

….Jakob poetls prime locked up on a value contract….

….is Jakob poeltl an elite role player

….is Jakob a championship calibre starting centre?

….i have so much to learn about basketball.

Quick guys to Wikipedia!!!!!!


Seriously guys; if Marc gasol was in shape and couldn’t shoot a lick- you’d get Jakob poeltl —-hes very very good at playing winning basketball. Every play every night. He consistently makes the right play and demonstrate elite court awareness. Every play.


He’s very very good and understated.

Where can I find stats on the limited sample size duo of Barnes and brown?
