    Right now we're not that's for sure. But NO obviously feels like Collins and Biggie are ready to take over for Ed. There's a reason he drafted two PF's last year--he was planning on having to move on from Ed. Factor in the rumor that we were going after Boogie in a sign and trade and it makes sense why NO told Ed that the Brooklyn deal was his best bet for playing time/money.

    You can see on NO's face that he wishes he kept Ed after striking out on Cousins now haha.

    Yes, Pat was not very good and easily replaced.

    However Nik is NOT an upgrade.

    Lmao. How? So if a center can't shoot 3s, then it's like he's not on the floor? We got trapped on pick n rolls and didn't use other sets, so we settled for crappy jumpers that were bound to miss. The only reason those shots could be productive? Ed Davis. It's funny how now that he's gone, fans are saying he hurt us and wasn't important. What a joke. And now somehow Stauskas is the next J.J. Redick.

    Makes 0 sense. His only shot is a dunk? Ed had a knack of getting to the rim and getting his shot off at different angles, and was efficient as doing so.

    Not every single player on the court has to be able to shoot jumpshots.

    CJ's chin is too round. Harris and Luda both have that pointy chin, same cheecks, same smile.

    No one is saying he wasn't important to us calm down. He was very important in the rebounding/screening department and was a great teammate. But NO has targeted shooting for this offseason. NO thinks that Zach Collins can replace Ed in the rebounding/screening and provide shooting.

    And you can't say teams didn't completely ignored Ed on offense because they did especially in the playoffs. It sucks if Ed could consistently hit a 15' footer he'd probably be here still.

    I'm perfectly calm, I'm just questioning why some people (including our GM) aren't valuing Davis at all.

    We don't need Ed shooting 15 footers. That's not a good shot. Why do we need him to do that? It makes no sense. We should play Trent over ET then and keep Ed. 4 shooters on the floor at one time is enough. Everyone could shoot except ET, Nurk, and Ed.

    Zach won't rebound like Ed. Ed provided us a valuable spark off the bench that were gonna miss.

    That's on Stotts, not Davis. Good coaching negates that sort of thing...otherwise Rodman wouldn't have any rings.

    We're going to miss him for sure. But I'm pretty confident that Biggie can be that spark off the bench for us. Only time will tell but we don't draft Biggie without the idea of Ed eventually moving on unfortunately.

    Edit: Grammar

    Yep. Davis' hooks in the paint were underappreciated.

    Ed Davis got nothing but love from me and everyone around here...still does..hell he's on a one year deal...we could actually sign him again one day...saying you understand why they let him sign in Brooklyn and not appreciating him are really not on the same page at all....I don't see the issue being made about it

    Lmao. An opinion based on opinions verse an opinion that's disproven by stats.

    The way you stretch and reach is something else.
