Troy Brown Jr is a interesting spot up shooter. What y'all think of him ?

Those detectors are not always reliable. I’ll give Tobias the benefit of the doubt. And even if he used AI it was likely just to fix grammar and stuff.

Saw this on reddit but haven't seen anyone try to replicate it.

I've graded undergrad papers and it does read a little suspicious to me.

It's not surprising, there's nothing authentic about Tobias. Dude stole 180M.

This is not a new phenomenon. Reminds me of Tracy Jordan's televised "apology."

Skip to the 1 minute, 11 second point (1:11)... end at 1:42.

Martin and picks for Bey could make a lot of sense for both teams.

Saddiq Bey is just a name. He's not actually a good player. Coming off an ACL injury mid-season makes it even worse.

No chance the guy would help in a title push, so I don't see it.
I like his fit. Hardnosed physical wing who's switchable and can match up with 4's. Capable outside shooter (although he didn't shoot particularly well last season).

Sent from my SM-S921U using RealGM mobile app


Midseason? The guy got injured and had his surgery in APRIL. The guy is likely to sit out ALL season, and you have no idea how he'll play coming off a major injury. What would be the point in making this deal?

PhillyFan11 wrote:Jake LaRavia is a name I hope Morey considers. Former 1st round pick with a solid skill set that has no real path to playing time for Memphis. Don’t know what it would take, but he makes nothing so you could trade Martin and a pick(s?) for him now. I think he could definitely play a very solid 15-20 mins for us at backup 4 while continuing to be a cheap asset moving forward


He's an interesting name. I would also look into Aldama and probably prefer him. As you mentioned, kinda tough to gauge their value.


I mean, LaRavia was getting 23 mpg last season in his second year. That's more than you are projecting giving him here. I don't see how that's "no real path to playing time" - most teams aren't willing to trade guys still on their rookie deal if they are productive and are showing potential, but still not enough potential to be trading a 1st round pick for him.

Aldama has basically been starting for that team. Again, I don't really why Memphis would be looking to deal him. If anyone is expendable from that team, it would be Brandon Clarke, who I've mentioned before. Overpaid for someone who has been playing <20MPG and this time truly no path for more.

This is really the point. The Tobi "goodbye" read like the 30 Rock/ Tracy Jordan / E Network "apology," that I posted above, which didn't sound remotely like the person it was representing. AI or not, it clearly was not written by Tobias Harris himself. Lazy is the operative word, on multiple levels.

You wouldn’t give up McCain for anybody? You are seriously overvaluing him to make that statement.
Naw but not just for someone like DFS or Cam Johnson. That's the level of player we're looking at.

I know it’s only been a few summer league games, but I feel like there’s a non-trivial chance that Knecht is a competent role player already and McCain isn’t. Not the best since we’re basically all in.

Yeah, that hasn't been lost on me either. Part of the reason why I assumed that Morey DID draft McCain for purposes of including him in a trade. But we''ll see how it unfolds.
