OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

But I thought the Alfredo guy said BAM was the best thing on earth 37 TIMES! Told us how he had been telling us all along 54 TIMES how we messed up not drafting him!!??

 

Also, while we're piling on the Heat:

 

You should be nice to him - he writes for ESPN:

 

"Alfredo" is prone to wild hyperbole when he jumps out from under his bridge

But, as far as the 2017 draft, so far this season:

points: Bam Adebayo 1239....Donovan Mitchell 1426....John Collins 1123....Zach Collins 0
rebounds: Bam Adebayo 596....Donovan Mitchell 237....John Collins 476....Zach Collins 0
assists: Bam Adebayo 359....Donovan Mitchell 277....John Collins 78....Zach Collins 0
winshares: Bam Adebayo 8.8....Donovan Mitchell 6.2....John Collins 6.7....Zach Collins 0

and last season, wouldn't look significantly different than this season

Portland could have come out of that 2017 draft with Bam Adebayo and Dillon Brooks; or Donovan Mitchell & Brooks; or John Collins, OG Anunoby/Jarret Allen, & Brooks. Instead they came out of it with Zach and Caleb Swanigan. So yeah, the Blazers fucked that draft up big-time...no debate

 

And I don’t think anybody but JinxSpeed would disagree with you here. But I don’t need to read about it SEVEN times a day! We get it.

 

so then, 6 times is the cut-off?

 

Me and natbishop been telling you for months!

 

learn proper grammar, then post....son

 

You do realize the Bucks gave up even more and were had absolutely no realistic shot at getting Holiday, right?

 

they gave up Bledsoe and 35 year old George Hill, plus a 24th pick and a couple of pick swaps several years out. That isn't the high price you're implying, That's especially true considering how often you pump up CJ's value around here. Now you're saying CJ doesn't have the value of Bledsoe and Hill?

 

Not watching today's games. I need a break. I can watch Rachel and then the A's.

 

You're forgetting that they also gave up unprotected 1sts in 2025 and 2027. Bledsoe had value and Hill is an extremely good role player.

We also didnt have control over any of our future 1sts at the trade deadline. They're backing up the Houston protection.

I don't pump up CJs trade value? I constantly question people that trash his game but act like he has enormous trade value.

 

so then, Milwaukee has traded 3 firsts for Holiday, while Portland has traded 4 firsts for Collins and RoCo who have combined to score 17 points in this playoffs. Oh, and the Bucks traded a couple of pick swaps that very likely won't be exercised. When everything is said and done, Portland gave up a 15th, 20th, 16th, and 23rd picks for RoCo and Collins while all three of the Bucks pick could easily be lower than the 23rd pick Portland will give up in June.

To this point, the missed-players opportunity cost for Portland includes a 'pick-3-or-4-combo' of Bam Adebayo, Donovan Mitchell, John Collins, OG Anunoby, Jarret Allen, Thomas Bryant, Dillon Brooks, Saddiq Bey, Immanuel Quickley, Desmond Bane, Payton Pritchard, and Theo Maladon

I know which team is getting the most from their traded picks and it isn't the team West of the Rockies. At least the Bucks' GM isn't afraid to swing for the fences while going big-time in the risk/reward game. Meanwhile, Olshey plays it safe while Dame's greatness cover his backside

I like RoCo but he will never alter a team's trajectory like Holiday can

 

Btw another team who lapped us is the Mavericks sad

 

God I would love a franchise changer like Luka dallas is so lucky

 

luka is cooking these fools early

 

Kyrie can't handle the Boston fans, needs to burn more sage juju

 

Look at Dallas

 

Better than Dame

 

You know how u know blazers suck. We tried to avoid the clippers and prayed for the nuggets lmao
