It's the difference between an unknown vs. the known. Covington fits the Lillard timeline perfectly. A starting lineup of Lillard, McCollum, Covington, Aminu (if we can't upgrade that position) and Nurkic is a very strong starting 5 and an improvement over last year.
lol. I've left scathing comments on their articles before because they were so clueless. Never knew I was berating children. I'm a jerk.
Risking meme overuse, but it seems applicable... My problem is, the proposal in the fansided "article" suggested giving up 3 mystery boxes for just one boat.
well, I don't concern myself over what pieces a writer puts together as that is up to Olshey and his crew to determine the value of the acquiring player compared to the cost.
In addition, would you trade these 3 dinghy's for the one in the next picture? The above ^^^^^ for below
Quit talking about my dinghy. We all know that it's not the size of the boat that matters. Or at least, that's what I continue to tell myself.
Covington is not an athletic finisher. He is also a streaky shooter and is what he is. He will never get better. I would not trade Nas for him. I think he will be better than Covington.
I actually like Covington. He's the perfect role player and 6'9. He's 28 years old and is what he is at this point. How much does he make? Little was a projected lotto pick, he's 19 and will be on the cheap for a few years and we don't know what he is or will be at this point. All i know is we've taken huge lumps in the draft in the past, maybe this is the time it works out for us.
This would be a tough one. Convington for three years at a good contract is really tempting. I would really like to keep Little as he appears to be a gift, but if you want to make a splash on Dame's timeline, you make that trade. Dame, CJ, Covington, Collins, Nurk (bench: Ant, Baz, ML, Aminu?) is pretty solid and might be the best lineup they could get without taking a riskier shot at a third star (Griffin, etc.)
That's just it, Little is an intriguing prospect, but at this time he is just that, a prospect. If he was the difference between being able to make a deal or not, he's in the deal.
Don't feel bad. I used to take those articles as gold, until someone pointed out to me; who was actually writing, and able to write the articles. Lol. Whoops.
Don't recall anyone taking the article as gold or touting it as any more than a guy writing an opinion piece. Do you recall why and what I posted it to?
I would not trade Little for Covington who has shown to be quite injury prone... Covington has been overrated by this forum. He's aight...
As I recall, you posted it as support for your contention that the idea that Robert Covington isn't all that available wasn't as common as Bones believed it to be. Would you be so kind as to help explain to the rest of us how a single Blazer fan's baseless trade proposal counters Bones' claim that the common thought (obvious implication being around the league) is that the Wolves aren't particularly interested in dealing him?
