I don't understand this at all. I saw Meyers get schooled by Paul Pierce this season. Can you imagine Meyers having to help guard Chris Paul on pick and rolls? They would attack him relentlessly. Yeah he'd make a couple three's but he'd give up twice as much on defense. Meyers has some use as a post defender but that isn't what DeAndre does. It would look like the Detroit losses where Drummond destroyed us. With Meyers playing do you think Plumlee gets 20 reb and 9 assists? If Meyers is out there we likely lose game 3 and are about to be swept. I'm so glad he's not playing in these playoffs.
Yeah let's trade him for the best Allstar player on a superior team. While we're at it maybe we can get LeBron.
Seriously? Who is DeAndre going to guard if we have Aminu-Harkless-Meyers on the front line? You think he is going to sit back and let Meyers shoot? We are getting killed because Jordan can just camp in the key and clog things up. Meyers isn't perfect, but we really could use him in this series.
Yeah..... because Millsap is even remotely as good as LeBron. He put up 17 and 9 this season. He's a good player, but he's not a superstar.... He wasn't even an All-Star until he got to ATL. Firstly, Millsap isn't a kid anymore. He's 31. How many more All-Star seasons does he have in the tank? Secondly, we have been having this discussion in other threads. It hinges on ATL getting knocked out in the first round and blowing up their team. Lastly, we have no idea what Crabbe's market will be this summer. He could end up being a hot commodity after the dust clears and guys like Durant have signed. I guess we will see. I'm not saying they would do Crabbe for Millsap straight across, but again.... I have no idea what his value will be.
It will be interesting to see because to me it looks like Crabbe has shot the hell out of his big contract. If he was at least playing better than average defense, then maybe. Still more games to go, but I can't see anyone giving him big money based on his playoff performance.
NBA general managers are stupid. I think his playoff performance might hurt him, but I still think he's going to get a decent offer based on his regular season. Is he worth Millsap straight across? Highly doubtful. Extremely unlikely. Then again, I have no idea what ATL will do if they lose this series.
Anyone know how ATL feels about Bazemore? I wonder if he's their Aminu, or whether they like him long-term. If not, and they're blowing it up, I wonder if they'd be interested in Aminu for Millsap. I just don't see Crabbe getting it done, and it's unlikely Aminu would either - but it's at least a tiny bit more realistic IMO. Ultimately I'd love to see us get Ibaka somehow. I think he alone could solve a lot of our roster issues. Dame CJ Harkless Ibaka Plumlee
Sacramento's GM is stupid; most the others are pretty solid nowadays. This isn't 15 years ago where GMs were all former players like Elgin Baylor, Kevin McHale or Isiah Thomas. I know one thing Atlanta won't do; trade away their most valuable player for a backup we might let walk for nothing. Such a stupid comment.
Since they don't actually have to guard Harkless and Aminu, they can put whoever they want on Meyers.
You think Millsap is better than Horford? I think Millsap wasn't even an All-Star until he got to ATL and was paired with an already-great big man. I guess you need to educate us, oh genius of all-things basketball. Oh prognosticator of prognosticators, who said that the series is already over. Please, bless us with your wisdom.
Yes, but that would change the whole dynamic. Jordan is not capable of chasing Aminu or Harkless around the court and eventually they will hit shots.
I'd take both those matchups. Jordan is not going to go out on Harkless or chase him around the court. Meyers would easily shoot over Redick.
No doubt Crabbe is blessed with the big "potential" as a 3-D guy. The big question is if he has the heart and desire to get there.
Danny Green is playing like hot garbage and he's making $10 million a year over the next three years.
