OG is 6-7, 232

Aaron Gordon is 6-8, 235

Celtics just won a title with Jayson Tatum, who is 6-8, 210 at PF. So I don't see where someone would get "he doesn't have the size!" thing unless you stopped watching basketball in 2005.

Tatum averages 9rpg
OG averages 4-5 RPG

Do you see the difference?

Oh…so you believe all listed heights/weights are correct? Idk Gordon looks much bigger to me then OG is. He definitely plays like it

Tatum has never averaged 9 rpg. Last year he averaged 8.1, only the year before was higher at 8.8. For his career he's at 7.2

You could have made the point without lying, doing so just gives you less credibility. I mean, I guess you did also just say you don't care what numbers say, so there's that. Just a really weird argument to be having.

Way to totally miss the point. And the point still stands.

Tatum averages 8rpg
OG averages 4 rpg

No, that's why I expressed confusion as to why you felt the need to lie when the point would've been proven with the truth

Just seems like you have a personal grudge for some reason.

I like OG at SF too but the answer isn't to trade him, it's to get Mitch at C and Kat at 4. Positions are interchangeable anyway. Aaron Gordon is a nice player. But OG is a guy I've seen shut down Jimmy Butler one night, Donovan Mitchell another, guard Luka very well, do a good job vs Jokic in stretches. For the Raptors. We saw him shut down Embiid in a crucial playoff 4th quarter last spring. He takes the opposing star out of the game, messes up the other team's offense. His effect on a game goes well beyond rebound stats.

We have a team that is almost a prefect matchup to the Celts now. Brunson is the best player on either team and KAT is better than KP. Birdges and OG are literally the best wing defenders probably in the NBA to put on Tatum and Brown.

Nobody lied, I was on my phone taking a **** while talking to you. I thought it was common for people to round up from 8.8 to 9. I guess 8.8 isn’t close enough to 9.

Next time I’ll just say…he averages more then 8 RPG but less then 9. Would you prefer that?

Get over yourself. My point still stands. It works because Tatum can rebound and finish the defensive possession. OG is not adept at doing so.

Why would you use the number from 2 years ago when the number from last year makes the same point?

Just unnecessarily lying.

I like this response. I guess you are the only person on this forum who isn’t a Bot.

I agree with you. In my following post I say I like OG and I would prefer to see him at the 3 with bridges at the 2. Mitch at the 5 and Kat at the 4. Doing this though we are thin up front in terms of depth. But that can be changed with a few moves. The big ? Is can Mitch and OG both stay healthy??

OG is going to be making close to 50 million a year in the last 2-3 years of the contract also. Another thing to think about.

You brought up the 8.8 not me.

The truth is Tatum averaged more then 8 rebounds a game the last 2 seasons.

You’re crying over .9 and .2 differences. I’m done arguing with a bot.

So then just say he averaged 8 rpg lol

See what happens, now we're so far off course and all you've done is devalue your own position because you had to lie about numbers when the truth would've worked just fine.

Why do you have to lie to make your point? You keep saying he averaged 8 RPG when it so clearly shows on his stat sheet that he averaged 8.1 RPG. Why can’t you just be honest instead of writing something that isn’t true?

You brought up last years stats and only say he averaged 8 RPG to better back up your point. Why are you doing this when he so clearly averaged 8.1 RPG?

Do you see what I did there DOT the BOT??

im more worried about og's health at the 4

[spree8]

im more worried about og's health at the 4

Yea he’s just not as mobile or athletic as guys like Gordon or Tatum. Probably why he doesn’t average bigger rebounding numbers too. That ankle tweak he got mixing it up in the paint in the 1st PS game scared me.

OG played SF and guarded the other teams best player that pulls him away from the basket, unlike say a Randle that would cheat off his man to get a defensive board.

Some people just hate nice things

You act like Aaron Gordon wouldn’t be a nice thing at 1/2 the price.

AG is a better PF then OG is.

Better interior defender
Better rebounder
Better finisher (ally oop target)
More athletic
Much better passer and less turnovers
Better FG%
Better playmaker and 1 on 1 ability in general
Faster/stronger/quicker/bigger
More durable
Average annual salary of 21,660,000

= scorers

OG is the better mid range and 3pt shooter
Better perimeter defender
Averages 1 more SPG
Average annual salary of 42,500,000

If you say so

Gordon is a non-shooter and has very low bball IQ. He is not half the defender OG is, let alone the difference maker as we’ve witnessed last season. OG is the heart and soul of this basketball team, pretty much like tomato sauce in a kitchen. Stick to your guns.
