Porti speed making a difference. That Dolan talk got him playing hard.

but seriously is Huk good or are the Raptors just trash?

I truly believe Dadiet has the same quick feet that Hukporti has. Hopefully he continues to improve.

Tron Carter · Post #184 » by **Tron Carter** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 1:46 am

so now that we know Huk is 80% of Mitch what can we get for Mitch at the deadline

Maybe Kolek and Dadiet can add to this team? Team seems to respond to everyone playing well.

Defensively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cant wait to get Mitch back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trade mitch + Deuce for Reaves

Brunson
Mikal
OG
KAT
Huk

Bench

Payne
Reaves
Hart
Precious

That's a really fun team

Would reaves be ok with coming off the bench?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I’d do it though regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reaves would be the perfect extra shot creator we are severely lacking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The CRaptors are bad and Huk is a promising prospect.

Looking good!!! We’re not allowing Dick penetration. We’re impregnable. :wink:

Thibs defenders: the rooks can't play, Thibs is right for not playing them

The rooks:

There's a cap on it though, and it's if the opponent has a big enough 4 to guard KAT while penalizing us for having the 5 that can't score. That's ultimately what happened to them in the playoffs.

I think it would work against the Cavs and Pacers, but the Celtics have wings big enough to guard KAT.

You have a point, but I don't think Huk is a liability on offense like Gobert is. He has a lil bag but Thibs has him playing that rim runner role right now. I think KAT is getting better at scoring against wings. He was pretty dominant against the rockets yesterday.

IMO in order for KAT at the 5 to work we would really need to be the best offensive team in the league. I'd rather take hit on offense to be a balanced team on both ends.

RJ might be their best player. They look really lost.

They playing Huka cuz Sims most likely gonna get traded this week (thank goodness). Now just need to find out if Huka also makes Mitch dispensable. If so then we should go after Reaves hard. Lakers dont need a 3rd ball handler and they desperately need front court help. Salaries match perfectly. Get it done Leon!

I have wanted the Knicks to go after B Brown since his time in Denver(they have missed him so much) would be our "scrub of the night" against other teams

Got my money on JA'KOBE Walter being nominated for SOTN hitting 5 3's lol

I was talking about Chris

Reaves would get like 30 mins a game here. I doubt he'd complain. But that would be a championship contender team.

I think sometimes we need a defensive big and sometimes we don't.

So far, but they can easily be penetrated if they allow Dick to go off!

Sooooo, could Huk have been farther along with more minutes? Or did Thibs wait till the exact perfect time he'd be ready?
