Markannen is intriguing from a theoritical fit standpoint and I'm not saying I'd be against trading for him but should be noted Kelly was simply a better player than him last season.Saberestar wrote:Desertfox wrote:Trade him for Markkannen now...
I would do it.
Oubre + #10 for Markannen + filler.

Oubre for Markannen straight up! Don't give our pick!

This is disappointing. Meniscus repair doesn’t really take 5 months for Oubre to be out that long.

My feeling is they know we arent likely to make the playoffs so they dont want to risk a Oubre having a set back
Nah. Markkanen isnt that good.Saberestar wrote:Desertfox wrote:Trade him for Markkannen now...

Gambo reported that the Bulls would want Oubre and the pick. If Markkanen forces his way out I think a straight up deal gets it done. But they have changed over their front office so maybe they convince him to stay? Maybe they dont like him as much?Ghost of Kleine wrote:Wilber85 wrote:Saberestar wrote:I would do it.

Oubre for Markannen straight up! Don't give our pick!
I have to agree with Wilber, Markannen would be great, But as Week mentioned already, Oubre has been the better player this season. I'd do Oubre straight up for him, But in no way, shape or ffg form would I give up our pick AND Oubre too. That's just an unnecessary overpay given Markannens' current deficiencies. And this is coming from a big Markannen advocate too.
The 10 could still very well not us a premium cost controlled backup guard prospect, Or a 3 and D power forward from this draft. Affording us a larger chunk of cap space for free agency whilst filling roster needs too. Oubre for Markannen straight up, Or no deal. Unless, They're ( Chicago) willing to do Oubre/ Diallo/ 10th pick for Markannen/ 7th pick ???
I'm actually excited to see Carter a little bit. I think he can swing momentum with his defense. He can also shoot but he needs to do a little more on offense to get to an even or plus net rating. But I think he is close.nevetsov wrote:If healthy I think we have a pretty decent lineup for Disneyland:
Rubio, Booker (maybe some Carter)
Booker, Bridges (maybe some Carter)
Bridges, Johnson
Saric, Kaminsky
Ayton, Baynes
Sure wish we had a play making combo guard off the bench to throw into the mix. Anyone still have Jamal Crawford's number? He's so old it's probably a landline...

I'm not a Markkanen fan. He doesn't shoot well enough to have that rep and he doesnt defend the rim. He is in the 35th percentile in PSA (points per shot attempt). He doesnt block shots or get a lot of steals or deflections. 20th percentile in blocks.[/url]
Me too. Plus if anyone can go all out and pump up his teammates to do the same, despite there being no fans, it's Jevon!jredsaz wrote:I'm actually excited to see Carter a little bit.

Just eye test wise I thought Jerome looked better the month or so before the shutdown. Early on it felt like he was still getting his body right after being hurt and was having a real 'oh **** these NBA dudes are athletic' moment. Hell always be behind the curve from an athletic standpoint so he absolutely needs to make quick decisions to offset that and not to oversimplify it but he HAS to shoot the 3 well to make it in the NBA.ImNotMcDiSwear wrote:I'd love to see Jerome look like he belongs out there. I haven't given up hope yet, but I'm famously slow to see the writing on our wall with our draft picks.
It'd be nice if one of Saric, Kaminsky or Baynes played well throughout the tourny. Give us something to think about before we go renouncing everyone.
Ideally, Cam, Bridges and Ayton ball out, allowing Devin to pick his battles. If the team falls completely flat, Booker will go off for sure. Booker averaging 40 and us winning less than 3 games is my worst-case scenario - aside from injuries, of course.
