Dude plays with that fire on both ends that we love and gets high praise from vets, coaches and teammates alike for his play, and leadership. The best part is he wants to, and will get better. I like his fit next to Wall.

I traded him as part of the Luka package. It's interesting how the value of players changes over time. I really liked him then.

Ingram was a 3-star last year. I think he goes to 3.5 or maybe even 4 star.

The SIM is on a year lag usually. sometimes even longer. Like Luka was good last year in the SIM but not like top 5 player good like he was IRL.

Yeah, I understand the lag for one year so I was just trying to think of someone who was a lowkey player who blew up out of nowhere. Idk maybe like a Siakam for example.

Can you think of anyone who was pretty average like 1.5-2 star that made the jump to like 3.5+ star?


Large moves up or down are rare.

On a related note, Willie Cauley-Stein (15.7 ppg and 9.2 rpg in BAF last season) is on the block

Gonna ignore the fact you called me a “bozo” and just take it as you being frustrated with your cap situation. I’m not the one who bid him up to $90 btw. That was someone else. And why say he’s not worth $100, when you bid up to $95? :nonono:

Yeah a lot depends on Edwards, but there are some great up and coming young teams yours included, KOC and 3tohead had that on lock for awhile but things change quickly.

Very different perspective. Im not using pure cap space and I don’t have an avenue to replace him.so yes it Sucks for me
But considering what others similar players have gotten in this market, it’s a massive overpay

My perspective is I replaced my starting SG from the championship team Gary Harris ($160) for Dillon ($100), I’m good with that. I know it sucks for you, and I’m sorry it had to happen, but after missing out on Booker who went for $518 (would’ve cost me $600), Brooks at $100 is a deal I’ll live with.

Missed out on a couple of steals but glad to have Josh Hart locked up for cheap. Much needed 3 and D wing off the bench who fits with my young core.
