Is Cam Reddish a good defender?

I see that you know nothing about basketball. Thanks for the input.

Tell all the chumps that I beat regularly in fantasy basketball that I know nothing about basketball.

Thank you for this! :lol:

I don’t’ care about fantasy basketball or team USA or one Finals appearance. Those are just arbitrary measurements of success for a player.

Bridges is ranked worse than both Gobert and KAT in every single player ranking there is.

You’ve put yourself on an island where no one can agree with you.

Getting Wiseman and developing him into defensive minded bigman under Gobert mentorship would be a perfect story

I bet Thibs sees Bridges as a cross between Jimmy Butler and Luol Deng!

Nets fans are overjoyed with the haul of picks they got for Bridges, they were sick of him. I honestly think the Knicks overpayed just to get their Villanova gang back together (just to get bounced in second round again probably) LOL
It’s like the Knicks outbid themselves for no **** reason, No other team was going to pay 5 frps for Bridges.

Bridges isn't a big time scorer but he can be, but when playing alongside good players he is an efficient scorer, which is more important than inefficient scoring that shoots you out of games. He was the Suns best defender. The Suns who made it to the finals. Bridges would be the perfect number 2 guy for most teams. I'm done trying to explain the value of Bridges to you thick heads. I love our top 3, but if you aren't aware of the SECOND APRON, KAT and Rudy are paid much more than Bridges and Bridges has equal if not more value overall as a number 2.

Bridges has two “cheap” seasons left then will get an absurd contract from the knicks that will begin when Brunson’s game will start to head south( Brunson will be like Kemba Walker mostly washed by 30-31) This won’t end well for the Knicks. Bridges ain’t a number 2 on a championship team.

Eh, I think they are now a low-end title contender. An injured Porzingis once again and a healthy OG/Bridges and this deep Knicks team could make the NBA Finals.

One of life's greatest accomplishments...what could possibly be left for you to achieve???

Your deflection skills need a lot of work. Maybe focus on that?

Denver's Murray is apparently signing a 4-year, $200+ million contract. Meanwhile, Caldwell-Pope has declined his 2024-1025 option, leaving the Nuggets with Braun...

Braun?!

As it stands now, he's in line to be their starting SG.

And they just salary dumped Reggie Jackson.

Tim Connelly has to be enjoying working for such a stable ownership group!

Since we're not trading him I don't see how we can get a haul.

The West is going to be a bear next season. Pretty much everyone is going for it.

OMG the Pels getting Dejounte. That is huge.

Murray just went super super cheap to the Pels, that's a huge trade for them and very bad for us.
Surprising they couldn't even get their hands on Trey Murphy.

Couple of really weak picks going out too.

younggunsmn · Post #79 » by **younggunsmn** » Fri Jun 28, 2024 11:24 pm

42 mil a year for 14/4 from Anunoby and now 35 mil a year for Quickley.
Jaden might be a bargain contract by the time the year is over.

Almost every report I saw is that teams preferred Murray to Young. With that much demand it seems that the Hawks could have got more.
