2023-24 apology list 

Post#1 » by minimus » Thu Dec 7, 2023 1:04 pm

I owe apology to Towns, some my trade proposals (like Towns for Casson Wallace and 5 FRPs) look stupid with every game. HOWEVER, the list is longer! some other guys I owe apology:

- Shaedon Sharpe, I thought that he is a garbage time scorer. But he looks like a real deal now
- Cam Thomas, never thought that he will more than 6th man scorer like Nowell
- Goga Bitadze and Mo Wagner both are instrumental for ORL success

Hey, if we were all perfect talent evaluators, we would be on a team’s payroll. But yeah, that KAT trade proposal is something else. :D

I owe an apology to Troy Brown Jr as I thought he would be the least impactful signing for us. Glad he’s proven me wrong.

I have a couple big ones. I never thought Halliburton would be anything more than a mediocre point guard with his physical limitations, jump passing and weird shot mechanics.

And I remember arguing how Towns would always be better than Jokic on both sides of the ball, with his shooting and better athleticism for defense. Yikes.

+.5 - Towns is a better shooter and more athletic, so you're not completely wrong.

I think a lot of people owe Gobert an apology. I would love to apologize to Milton but doesn't look like I need to.

I owe an apology to Anthony Davis, because I once thought the best player to come out of his draft class could be Meyers Leonard.

I apologize to Zach LaVine for slandering him daily along w/ my fitness client, who is from Chicago. And still doing it.

Yeah, it was way back in the RubeChat days I remember....I think it was a thread asking for the upside of each prospect, by giving a rating between 1 and 10. If I remember right, I had Meyers at a 9 (I bought into his size way too much) and I think I had Davis at only a 7 or 8 upside.
