Discussing Other Teams' Moves - Part 8

[CntOutSmrtCrazy]

In-fairness though, Dallas has not had a chance to run the dream with a healthy lineup, so it’s a bit premature.

Well when major guys you made moves for in Davis and Irving are injury prone, that goes into the calculus. Davis has has like one relatively healthy season in his past 8. Same for Kyrie if count the season he played 67.

That doesn't even touch on trading away a Doncic.

Couldn't agree more! Trading Doncic was the deadest-brain move I've seen any GM make. At this point I'd be reluctant to hire Nico Harrison to bag groceries.

Trading Luka was similar to but more egregious than trading Chris Webber for old Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe.

Davis and Irving both have rings. However, Nico didn't factor in age and injury likelihood. Davis is clearly declining. How effective will he and Kyrie be after the All-Star break?

Nico Harris won't be around to see it. Not even lucking up on Cooper Flagg could save him.

I agree on all points.

Funny thing is that Wizards Mitch Richmond and Thorpe have been better than this version of Davis who has only played 9 out of the 45 games and appeared to have been eating like Dallas Luka this offseason.

Question: Small sample size but does Phoenix really make the play-in in the west?!?

They'll be in the convo with the Mavs, NOP, and Kings all falling apart... but I think no

- They have been immensely healthy, and now Green is out for a while.
- Most of their guys are having the best season of their careers. Regression due
- Their top 4 3PT shooters are AVERAGING 43% from 3
- While they beat the Spurs... The Clippers, Jazz, NOP, and Kings are all pretty bad.

Fractured hip... that sounds pretty bad. Sorry to hear it.

Lucky OKC, the gift that just keeps on giving... watch, they will get the #1 pick in the draft.

BTW, anyone notice that ROY Stephon Castle is still playing pretty well sans the the 3 point shooting?

[dckingsfan]

The two teams I am like - WTF are the Suns and Pistons.

The three teams I am are Memphis, Atlanta and Orlando.

The Spurs have the luxury of keeping both Castle and Harper, putting them both in their rotation, they can also flip one of them for player that elevates them closer to contention.

The fan base was upset with him, dunno how-much to blame on the roster.

They could also flip Fox depending on the situation. They are in a pretty good place talent wise, cap wise, draft assets and flexibility to make moves through trades or FA or both.

Who is the PG in OKC when SGA sits? Ajay Mitchell currently second on the team in Ast%, can he play the point full-time if SGA goes down? I just haven't seen him enough to judge though he's off to a great start.

When SGA sits, the offense is usually initiated by either Mitchell or Isaiah Joe.
