Exclusive I'm not sold on Dame/Ant

Blocking 45 people seems extreme and I'm never offended when people get excited in any way because of how they perceive me. Maybe you need to learn to take a compliment. And for fuck's sake 45 people?!?

 

4-5

 

Yeah, I knew... I just think that's funny to "misunderstand" on purpose. In real life, when you just corrected me I would have been like, "Yeah, I know forty-five is a lot of people." but I'm not trying to aggravate anyone in here just being a bit ridiculous.

 

I like to block literally everyone so nobody disagrees with me ever. Or hurts my feelings.

 

Also.... not sure there's 45 people who actually post on here

 

Exactly who is this player you want? Marc Gasol retired. Is there another one? Wembenyama? Embiid? Are they available?

 

he said people....I've been told not all posters are people

 

Read does not equal Post.

A small percentage of the people who visit this site actually participate.

 

I'm not sure who will be available but I said an impact two way wing or an upgrade at C for a guy who is more mobile and/or spreads the floor on offense. That's a pretty wide net.

 

Ant + Nurk for Bam?

Ant + Little for Bridges?

Unlikely circumstances would have to happen for those kinds of opportunities to become available, but who knows. .

I think we need Paul George but I don't know who to acquire him, even if he somehow becomes available. I don't wanna let go of Sharpe.

 

I share your concerns. But I'd also say that a 30 year history isn't very instructive. With the way the game has been revolutionized by spacing and three pointers, it doesn't really matter what worked against Shaq or the 90s Pistons. It's just a different game.

Anyway, ideally, everyone on our teams had the same skills they already have, but were all 6'8. Problem is that's what every team wants, and there just isn't the talent out there available.

With Dame and Ant, we may have 2 of the top 5 volume three point shooters in the league. There's definitely a recent template for winning with that.

I'm definitely in the camp that Ant should be on the trading block pretty quickly if this isn't working in the playoffs, or even if an opportunity like Siakim comes along, though.

 

I don't want us to trade for 32 year old all stars who's best years are behind them.

We'd end up like this years Lakers.

 

Well, if by that you mean a team weighted down by massive contracts and old players after having won a title, well, sign me the fuck up for that! I'm absolutely about mortgaging our future if there's a near-certain contender like LeBron/AD were.

Their big mistake was not valuing shooting, and of course going all in on Westbrook. They picked the wrong past-his-peak All Star.

 

Yep. They got rid of their glue guys as well. Coruso was worth more to that team than they realized.

 

Why cant i see this post???

 

Lol. Thanks for confirming not everyone has me on ignore! Lol.

 

Ant also averaging around 24ppg on .45/.42/.85 since those first three games. Also averaging 3.9 fts, which is respectable. I expect that number to climb higher by season’s end. Over 3.0rpg and 4.0apg.

Wow, didn’t realize how terrible those initial 3 games were for him.
