Not really. He’s very inefficient in those situations. He’s still young so he’ll get better but it’s definitely not something we can rely on right now.
He was very efficient to end the season. We could also utilize interior screening to free Nurkic inside for buckets that aren't post ups, but we never use screens to get interior shots, and we don't cut to the rim unless it's a rare backcut.
He said the team "Needs big changes" not that it would experience big changes. This was a debate about "what the teams needs", never about "what will actually happen".
Nurkic’ efficiency went up when his usage went down. We barely posted him up in the second half of the season. That part of his game is still a work in progress.
You're reading comprehension needs work: The team needs changes... He's not saying what the reality will be, just that we need other changes. Meanwhile, your claiming that he'll be wrong because the reality is that we won't have changes. I don't know how else to show you how shitty your reading comprehension is here.
But he's good when he's open and rumbling to the hoop, but we only utilize that in pick n rolls which are hard to run when teams trap. There's ways other than through the pick n roll that could free up Nurk going towards the rim.
What the actual fuck are you talking about?? He said we need BIG changes and possibly a new coach and that my post was bullshit. I brought up that in July my post will be closer to reality than his wishlist. You decided to argue that, and said it won’t be.
I'm really hoping we just blow it up. This team has done as well as one could hope with what they have. I'd rather be utterly bad and have some shred of hope for the future than be doomed to mediocrity for the next decade.
You weren't exactly clear at all. So basically you implied context without actually implying it. Nice. We're straying from the fact that this is Stotts fault and you haven't told me how your additions will fix the problems with how the team plays.
Who says no? CJ and pick 24 (has to be included because they owe their 2019 pick to Boston) to LAC for Tobias Harris/Filler (Boban?)/Pick 12 and 13
I don’t have a problem with Stotts, nor how he uses the players he has. When he had an actual post presence he ran the entire offense through him. I do know he favors threes, and adding someone like Ellington would help, almost as much as adding Mirotic would have. He’s a more dynamic (not just a set) shooter than anyone we currently have outside of Dame and CJ. His presence alone would also change the way teams defend our pick and roll. It would free up space for Nurkic and take pressure off our backcourt. These are some of the same points I made for acquiring Mirotic. It’d be a game changing addition even if he’s not necessarily a game changing name.
How about this one: CJ to Philly (they'd still have some wiggle room for a run at LeBron too) Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless (filler), TLC or Richaun Holmes, and the #10 pick
If you don't see a problem with our lack of ball movement, stagnant offense, lack of off-ball mobement, especially in regards to action/cuts towards the rim, as well as the fact that we don't push in transition with a team that's built to run in order to settle for this halfcourt stagnation, then that explains why you want to keep Stotts.
CJ to the Knicks for Tim Hardaway Jr, Filler, and pick 9 Then they also give us Courtney Lee for the TPE.
They don't do that. I think we have to give up more, and I wanna keep 24 for Hutchison. Maybe: LAC Gets: 10th Pick, 26th Pick, 2019 POR 1st, POR Gets: 12th Pick, Tobias Harris, Robert Covington, Jerryd Bayless PHI Gets: CJ McCollum Trade 12, two future 2nds, and Harkless for 9 and Lee Trade Aminu for something Draft Mikal Bridges and Chandler Hutchison. Lillard / Baldwin Lee / Hutchison Covington / Bridges Harris / Collins / Nurkic / Davis / Leonard
