You spent all that time doing math when it's painfully obvious to everyone else, I would assume, that isn't looking to dispute EVERY post in here he comes across, that he meant 3 percentage points, and not specifically 3 percent, the way any normal person on here would discuss where someone lies in relation to their percentages. If Ant was shooting 42% from this year, and his career mark was 38%(I didn't look these up, so don't bother well actually-ing another fucking post), most anyone would say he's shooting 4% better. Not everything has to be torn apart and broken down for arguments sake. Good lord, I thought I sometimes have too much time on my hands. The lengths you go to argue everything is astounding. Shit the other day someone mentioned Scoot clearing 75 feet in 2 dribbles(was it 3? I don't remember, I'm sure you'll correct me), and you of course had to well actually the distance. Like it changes anything at all. Unbelievable.
lol...yeah...I waste time while you're efficient by the way, try telling somebody that 336 dollars is 3 dollars less that 366 dollars (yes...hyperbole) and, you really need to put me on ignore because it sure seems I rankle the shit out of you
I was not thrilled with the Murray pick and got flamed for it. This upcoming draft, though, should settle the debate. It will be like trying to find a diamond in a shit storm.
Kuminga's numbers look similar to Grant's early in his career and Wiggins have randomly been like them. I think what people are hopeful for is that regular minutes and a defined role as a starter is beneficial. Definitely agree that we should not pay a high price. Wiz, giving this example for others because I know you already understand this. Say GS would agree to trading him straight up for their pick plus any contract that would put us under the luxury tax. The numbers look the same for next season but after that he is due a contract. If we keep the pick, we probably get a player in a similar development stage with atleast half the salary requirement year two and beyond. With Kuminga, we would get a year and a half to decide if he is worth keeping. With the pick, we get five years plus cap room. Big game today. If Toronto wins, it improves the pick and gives further distance from the Raptors. If the Warriors win, it makes a late tank attempt harder.
Not so much Rupert since 2nd rounders rarely amount to anything, but Kris Murray is a 23 year old rookie and he's looking like a wasted pick. What body of work are we looking at that say Mike is a good talent evaluator?
sure. I wasn't advocating one way or the other for Kuminga. I was just pointing out that the Blazers had 2 TPE's big enough t0 absorb Kuming's deal, but were also dealing with the tax line...and the Vulcans are involved
I wish we could post gifs, because you would get the Justin Timberlake stare for this one. And if we get an athletic PF, that can rebound, defend and score inside, I"m not super concerned if their 3pt perentage is 33% vs 36%.
Doubt the move would be made in a vacuum but was commenting on how drafting someone vs trading for Kuminga would not be equal in how we allocate our cap space. What leads you to believe he will rebound? At his size, have only seen players be able to rebound with elite instincts. Think the Grant and Wiggins comparisons are best case scenarios.
He's already a better rebounder than Grant. Grant is 10% TRB, Kuminga over 14%. He's not good yet, but at least average.
Jackson-Davis and Pods both have better TR% in the same system. Has there been a player that has become a significantly better rebounder after their 3rd season?
Golden State is only a 2 point favorite over the wilting Raptors. Dub Nation must be pulling their hair out they don't get to draft. How did Boston end up with the 2024 Warriors pick?
