Atlanta were pretty disappointed with Marv as well. So who knows

Good point.

I've been thinking about something like Washington for Naz Reid. Gotta tweak it some because we'd be making just as big of a hole at backup center, but I don't think the value is far off.

You'd have to add a 1st round pick.

Yeah I think we'd pass on that then

Why pass on a protected 1st round pick if it’s the right player? We’ve moved into a phase where we should finish as a winning team, hopefully with the addition of a quality center, a top 4 team in the conference. Yes picks are valuable but great unknowns when choosing in the lower half of the draft. Not saying Reid is worth that, but we will have to likely overpay a bit for a good young 5.

Never been big on personal insults thrown by fans during games. Dude more than likely went thru tremendous heartache thru that fiasco and probably still does.

so how do we keep him motivated like that? only allow him to sleep in his own bed after a good game?

Lol. Motivated PJ is a hell of a player.

Not sure how credible this guy is but our most obvious trade bait is being shopped around apparently. Could just be putting the obvious together but IDK.

If we are making a deal this year, he is the best guy to go

If by "comfort zone" Coach means "playing like a soft 3pt shooting SF instead of a C/PF", I guess so...

You have to be trying incredibly hard to throw shade at PJ for how he played last night, he was fantastic.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Against Detroit he took 7 FGA. 5 of those FGA were from three.

He had 5 FGM. 3 of those FGM were from three.

He didn't go to the FT line once.

He had the second lowest amount of rebounds on the team of the guys who played meaningful mins.

From our back up 5/4.

Just more evidence that he spends the vast majority of his time floating around the outside - just like a soft three point shooting SF.

For me, that's not fantastic. But if it is for you, no problem. Horses for courses.

He posted 15/5/5, 5-7 FG, +23 in 29 minutes. That is objectively really good, and just makes you look like a hater trying to throw shade at that production.

Stats are numbers - look beyond just the numbers and look at how he got those numbers. That's my point.

But hey, look, I'm not here to try and change your mind (and nor would I try to) - you dig his playing style, that's cool. That is 100% your prerogative.

I don't like it. That's mine.

I will say this though:

You pointed out that PJ put up 15/5/5, 5-7 FG, +23 in 29 minutes last night.

Trez put up 15/6/1, 7-9, +10 in 22 minutes last night (didn't put up a single 3pt shot and went 1-5 from the FT line).

Who would you say had a bigger impact on the game?
