...the Bucks officially made Khris Middleton available in trade talks, if N.O. can pull that off without giving up CJ then he would win the best summer since KP landed Roy and Aldridge (assuming the Summer League team wins the championship tonight)!
Next week Dame and CJ will be at Team USA minicamp with Middleton, Butler, Tobias Harris, Kevin Love, and apparently Kawhi. They better be recruiting them hard.
I really don’t like Tobias Harris’ game, I can’t really put a finger on what it is, I just don’t really want him. Butler and Kahwi are the two I’d be ecstatic for. Especially if they could do it while keeping Dame / CJ and Nurk.
Weird. Harris shot over 40% last year on volume, and is able to attack off the bounce and most seasons has shot over 50% from inside the arc. He's a solid defender too, and isn't a liability on that end at all. His rebounding the past few years is sub-par, but he was also playing next to the top 2 rebounder in the league (Drummond and Jordan), and was getting 8+ game earlier in his career. He's exactly what we need in a PF.
Who'd they sign? I think they're high on Lavert.. I don't see how we could land him for a fair package.
Doesn’t it just seem like he kind of loses every where he goes? He doesn’t make “winning plays”, I don’t know I won’t deny he’s talented, just not a fan I guess.
Treveon Graham. Their wings are now Crabbe, Levert, Harris, Carroll, RHJ, Musa, Kurucs, Graham. Levert doesn’t project to start.
There's a correlation, but he's definitely not the cause. He played in Orlando, Detroit, and then LAC at the end of last year. Those organizations suck. What do you mean by "he doesn't make winning plays"?
Hustle, make good decisions with the ball. I have just always seen him as kind of a stat guy that hasn’t done much to make his teams better. Maybe on a team like the Blazers where he is the 3rd 4th option he would do well.
How much better could any non-all-star have made those teams though? He doesn't turnover the ball much (career 1.3 TOVs on 30mpg), and his passing has improved (career high 2.4apg last year, 3.1apg w/ LAC, pretty solid for a PF). He takes good shots too, because he's efficient. I just think he's been in bad situations without having the opportunity to play off a 1st option like Dame and a 2nd option like C.J.
Maybe, and I know him being paired up with Drummond was maybe not the best situation. He would probably be an upgrade over Aminu - Though I think Aminu’s defense is better in terms of being able to switch. I’d rather have Butler or Kawhi if possible and I think those were the other names.
