Re: Is it time to trade Scottie Barnes?
Only problem is what he's paid. Basically paid as a franchise player, which he's not and not likely to become (hopefully I'm wrong and he does).

Re: Is it time to trade Scottie Barnes?
lol no. If he’s our franchise we should start by trying to build a team around him first.

He’s a great player that contributes in many ways and is an important piece to this team. With that said, no one is untouchable.

Re: Is it time to trade Scottie Barnes?
Not untouchable but would only make him the core piece in a trade to bring a top 15ish player back. Would need to be Booker, Giannis, etc

The problem is, he's plateaued. This seems to be it in terms of growth.

how do you fix the wholes that a departing Scottie leaves behind? We're supposed to fix the holes the team has with him & the holes that emerges when he's gone all by trading Scottie...?

Because most players reach their final forms at 24 right ?

He doesn't have the greatest work ethic. Right? Why expect something different.

No that's not right at all. only ppl who mention is work ethic being poor are the same ppl who believe growth n progress is linear

It you take the growth he's shown over the last two years and extrapolate that till he's 27...you get the same player he is now.

He's had a very odd development arc so it's hard to say. He was very raw coming into the league but then looked far more advanced as a rookie than anyone could have imagined. Then, he stagnates/regresses in year 2. Year 3 he takes a step and at one point looked like he was on the verge of stardom before coming back down to Earth. Year 4 he regresses once again . It's anyone's guess what year 5 holds.

He's not working on his game in the offseason, it's painfully obvious at this point.

If he just doesn't work on his game in the off season, that doesn't explain why he was better than expected in year 1 and 3 while worse than expected in year 2 and 4.

He got more touches, it's that simple.

Sigh, Reddit is so strange to read posts in chronological order in a thread and looks like posts just laid out there like written vomit, but this site’s stupid posts ratios is higher.
