As well as Rose has played, I still want to see the ball in IQ's hands more as a playmaker. We missed our chance at upgrading the PG spot with FVV, I hope we don't make the same mistake this summer and pass on Trent, but I have a feeling we're gonna get Oladipo which is the worst case scenario.

I think IQ is starting to get the ball in his hands more. Even Randle trusted him down the stretch. I’m not too worried.

And yeah Oladipo is my worst case scenario too. He’s really washed and still injury prone. Only upside to signing him is he can play defense but offensively he’s not that guy anymore. And he can’t shoot well, so he’s not the ideal fit next to RJ and Randle either. His shooting splits under Houston is awful. So far the Knicks FO hasn’t shown signs of doing something dumb like that though... so I’m still optimistic that we’re not getting him. For now. Lol


I want to see Quickley have to run the offense more, he needs the reps, he's being used more as an attacker now with Rose than before.

The FO resigned Payton, they have shown they don't necessarily care about shooting :lol: and it's not like Rose is a great shooter either. I think Oladipo will be the guy we go after, because he's attainable and has the name. The only reason why I'm hoping they don't is because we have Rose and they'll resign him, which takes the need of another slasher out of the equation. That's my hope at least, that would be an awful offseason if we end up with Victor.

I still think they resigned Payton with the hopes of DSJ beating him out for the starting spot. Obviously it didn’t work out lol

But yeah man, I’m with you on Oladipo. Just a terrible signing all around.

Lowe & Arnovitz podcast on All star selections

locks
WCF - Steph Luka Dame PG13 Kawhi Lebron Jokic AD Gobert
ECF - Embiid Giannis Middleton Tatum Brown Durant Beal

Other nominees - Zion / Conley /Booker / CP3 / Wood (thudingee) / Ingram / SGA / Mitchell / Derozan /
Other nominees - Randle island / Vuc / Lavine / FVV / Harden (debated b/c of the drama) / Irving (not a lock b/c AWOL) / Trae / Grant / Simmons / Hayward / Jrue / Harris / Bam / Brogdon / Sabonis /

Surprised Randle wasn't a lock for Lowe. That dude is the king of Randle Island.

I think his defense is among the best shooting guards out there. He’s easily getting over 20 per season.

He’s actually pretty awful. He got exposed against the Lakers in the post season.

This season he also has been pretty bad on defense. Look at this chart.
Read on Twitter


Not sold on his bad defense yet?
He has a DBPM of -2.3 which is really bad, overall negative BPM and opponents shoot 1.3% better when defended by him.

I’m not sure if this guy will be like a Timmy signing cause of his bad defense, can’t really make plays for others, streaky shooting, and limited shot creation. He’s either going to be a great signing like Malik Beasley or a bad one like Timmy. So it’s a tough one. Well for me at least.

I'm going to have to take a closer look. Trent was the only perimeter defender for the Blazers last year, might be expending too much energy on offense this year.

Lowe sometimes overcompensates when he's openly supportive of a player.

Happened with Jokic, I believe about an All-NBA selection a couple years ago.

Do you really want to gamble with the future of this franchise cause I don’t see the Wizards trading Beal to us without trading our picks and RJ.
