Game Thread 2024-25 GAME #10 - BLAZERS @ TWOLVES - NOVEMBER 8, 2024 - FRIDAY - 6:00 PM - KATU 2.2, BLAZERVISION

He's not good enough that I'd trade a first rounder for him in our situation.

 

Culture.

 

Probably just super amped up for his first game back, then settled into a more casual pace for game 2. Not that he wasn't pushing the pace up the court, but his smooth style makes it easy to fall off the wrong side of the razor's edge of intensity and relaxation.

If Edwards continues shooting anywhere near this well from 3, I take back anything bad I've set about him. Complete transformation since Paris.

 

Slow. No offense to speak of. Questionable hands

 

Hold on, we can finally complete the Dame/Heat deal!

Bucks get:
Simons
Deni

Heat get:
Dame

PDX gets:
Herro
Duncan
Jovic
2026 1st

 

Since you like numbers and statistics:

Grant: PER 13.2 TS% 0.521, TRB% 6.5, STL% 1.2, USG% 23.4, WS/48 0.039 Net Rtg (O-D): 106-117 = -11 Age: 30
Ayton: PER 16.9 TS% 0.540, TRB% 19.0, STL% 1.4, USG% 19.4, WS/48 0.093 Net Rtg (O-D): 111-112 = -1 Age: 26

Yes, Ayton doesn't do a great job of filling the 'traditional' big of blocking shots and getting to the line.... But he does seem to have a better impact on the game.

 

which player do you think has more trade value?

 

Neither? I honestly think their trade value is equal (which sadly isn't very high).

It really depends upon the team needs.

 

maybe

I'm just inclined to think that a wing like Grant, with some 2-way and 3&D skills would have better value that a square peg C like Ayton. That's not to say Grant has high value; he obviously doesn't. I just think more teams would be willing to spend on a wing than a C like Ayton

 

MIL has no young asssets so that’s a hard no from me.
