Re: WOJ: Josh Giddey Traded for Alex Caruso
If some desperate team gives us any pick for scrub brown the draft will have been a success no matter what else happens.

The fact that the Raptors are holding onto Brown as an asset on such a poo poo squad is genuinely laughable.

Maybe you're just a grump?

Like when you said we weren't going to resign Poeltl?
Maybe actually wait for things to happen like the Draft and FA to see what happens with a player.

Age 21, Giddey just shot 33.7% from 3-point.
At age 21, Scottie Barnes shot 28.1% from 3-point.

That should go for every scenario. No more predictions. No more suggestions what you'd like to see. Only wait till a team acts, then comment after the fact.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

There's a clear difference between a prediction or suggestion vs "This FO is garbage because X scenario that I've randomly invented is going to happen" when that scenario hasn't played out.
Masai is garbage because he's going to draft DaSilva with our 19th pick.
See how ridiculous and that is? How doing that regularly is unnecessarily negative?

Sure, but Scottie has the ability to score from other parts of the court, has a developing midrange game and is already amongst the top 4th Q scorers in the league to make up for that 3 pt shot, what does Giddy have?

Giddey is a PG that can’t shoot, can’t pressure the rim, isn’t great on defence and needs the ball in his hands to be successful. If he’s the PG of the future, the future is rough.

I don't see every post, has someone actually said Masai is garbage?
If a poster speculates Masai will do something good, is that ok?

When a thread like this or the Bridges thread devolves into a lot of posts about the Pascal trade or whatever, I agree that's unnecessarily negative not to mention tiresome. I'm just sensitive that a certain poster will be censured for being on the wrong side of a debate. You know what I mean.

You dismiss Giddey because of his 3-point shooting, which was better than Barnes' at the same age. Barnes improved his 3-point shooting. Giddey could improve as well.

He's 21 and he didnt have the ball in his hands in OKC.
