I really like Franz but his fit next to Paolo is questionable as a secondary scorer if his shot doesn't develop. Hard to have that as two big pieces of your core in the playoffs as we're seeing now.
From a late tied score at 91 on, Banchero and Wagner really failed to come through in the clutch
yep... not nearly good enough.
didn’t he have a few seasons with him already? Also siakam has always had elite touch around the rim and that quick sort of bouncy athleticism… not the highest leaper, but very agile and quick and coordinated. Barnes is way more robotic. Again there’s just certain limitations that players have that can’t just be fixed with hard work.HiJiNX wrote:It’s crazy how good Siakam’s handle has become. And how good he’s become as a perimeter initiator. Barnes needs to work out with him.

It's a real shame what that FO has surrounded him with, somehow Horst even got an extension.

Begs the question....why aren't there 70 to 80 posts on this thread bashing OG unmercifully?
OG does alot more that goes beyond the boxscore but so does fred. When powell shoots 6 for 16, a player who really only scores and doesn't do anything else, all I see is "NORMGOD" lol.
The Pistons/knicks has been the best series for my money. Wasn't expecting these games to be so close. I'm not sure if the Pistons are better than I thought or the knicks aren't as good as I thought.
Hoping for a game 6 just because the viewership is so entertaining.

Haha I’m just talking about Siakam’s ability to dribble which was worse than Barnes at one point. But we have seen Siakam develop that part of his game to a near elite level for a 6’9 guy.

Ogs career offensive effiency has always been more flattering than Fred’s. Not sure why you insist on dying on the fvv hill. He’s overrated. Add his unaesthetic play style, his slight arrogance on top of his inefficiency and you get a player that’s easy to dislike. Golden state is about to eliminate him, even with an injured jimmy butler.

Chet alone is probably better than any package that any other team would offer. Don't think they would even need to add too many picks.

I've been kinda shocked by the speculation of a giannis trade. Imo....ppl are drastically under-estimating his trade value. They will have to add at least 4 or 5 picks to Chet. And they'll probably also have to add quality rotation guys, like hartenstien, in matching salaries.
