Thats not our problem. Acquiring another PG and kicking the can down the road on trading for a better fit later on is a really dumb idea.
Yeah, I don't want to hold an asset to flip, I want it done immediately as part of a 3 or whatever team trade. Teams will low ball us on Maxey if we're sitting there with Simons, Scoot, Maxey and Sharpe at the 1 and 2.
100%! If Herro/Maxey have a lot of value to other teams, I'd like that to be proven as part of the trade, not simply assumed for a future date.
I was shocked when ESPN gave LeBatard a national platform. He's always been a pretty bad journalist, and, worse, one with little credibility. When Ricky Williams retired for a year from the Dolphins, LeBatard ran interference for him, playing Haynes to Williams' Damian Lillard. First, he said Williams quit because he didn't like the Dolphins' coach at the time, Dave Wannstedt. That got debunked, and LeBatard switched to another reason, which also got debunked. After a third reason that I can't remember, Dolphins fans had been put at odds with Dolphin management, LeBatard moved the goalposts again, saying Williams left the Dolphins because he wanted to have time to spend with his children. Then it came out that Williams had spent the month since his retirement in India ... he'd quit football because he wanted to just chill and smoke weed by himself all the time. I thought that'd be it for LeBatard, but the standards for hiring reporters don't seem that high anymore, no pun intended.
We need to somehow jump into this discussion if it meant getting Capella for Herro. He is still only 29 and has 3 solid years left https://hoopshype.com/2023/07/16/ma...:~:text=You can safely,marcstein.substack.com
I don't really want Capela. I don't see the point. Take a chance on a young big like Allen, Wiseman or Hayes instead.
Which Hayes are we talking about? The one who just signed with the Lakers? Wiseman, I am skeptical about. I doubt Duren is available. Capela has good size and is still mobile. He has proven to be effective. I agree that Allen would be a better option though.
I just don't see the purpose. By the time Scoot and Shaedon are ready to compete Capela is gonna be 31,32,33. We already have Grant in the vet role. I'd rather have a young guy to potentially grow with them. If Wiseman sucked, then you let him walk next year. Detroit has to let one of their bigs go, and I think its unlikely to be Duren or Stewart. Yes, I was talking about Hayes. Didn't know he signed with the Lakers until after I said him and looked him up.
I almost asked “can anybody blame him?” for quitting football “to just chill and smoke weed by himself all the time,” but, then, it dawned on my just exactly how awful the weed in India probably is. And, well, I don’t smoke bammer…
