The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Big wings who can rebound don’t exactly grow on tree’s and that’s what Memphis needs next to JJJ and Ja.

 

[getback]

Potential Mighty Mouse replacement?

 

[lovehateself]

Wouldn’t trade any young, 20 ppg player for PG at this point. Pushing 33 with his injury history, there’s not much upside there.

at this market, clips getting an expiring and 7 2nd round picks

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

People did it for KD though and he's *checks notes* pushing 35

Wouldn’t have traded Bridges for KD either to be honest.

However, he’s a tier above PG. Roll the dice and he’s healthy, he can still be the best player on a championship team. I can’t say that about PG.

Grizzlies need to send Ja directly to an Al-Anon retreat immediately after the season.

Rebounding numbers aren’t even that drastic. There’s a 10 rebound difference and the lakers not even playing a backup big. I guarantee you those 10 rebounds are from Dillon brooks bricks

Wing, it's the shallowest position group and thus the most valuable.

Desmond Bane will always be tradeable as a result.

I would say Bane is more of a straight two guard than a wing.

Like the tweet says, him not being able to play or guard 2-4 somewhat limits what they could do.

Probably. Exactly why "blow it up" isn't really a logical option for us.

But the grizz need more offense and probably trying stick a wing next to JJJ is the easiet route

Tillman is clogging it on offense especially as a below the rim big with minimal scoring . Hes at least doing the little things though

Tillman been hooping considering his talent level. He’s played AD evenly twice this series. He’s not clogging the lane anymore than Adams would if he were there.

 

[dacomeup]

too much finger point at other positions and not on your superstar that created a huge distraction mid season and has yet to adjust his game IMO. Brooklyn isn’t moving bridges. OG is overrated.

Both things can be true?

 

[WASHED KING]

So Josh Hart?

 

[Mister Meaner]

My bad I meant tomorrow but we'll see

I wish it was today

Agreed on first part

But if OG (25 )is overrated then what is Herb (24)- i saw You harping on how much better herb is…

If both get bags as expected then:

OG is a better scorer than herb and just as big of a menace defensively

OG biggest issue has been health and staying on the floor

I’ve always been in on both of em- don’t see the issue with paying both of them out and i don’t see how herb is levels better than OG

 

[pums]

but my point is . Neither of them should be playing down the stretch . They need a wing who can rebound and space

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Like the tweet says, him not being able to play or guard 2-4 somewhat limits what they could do.

Why? he can guard 3's just fine. no big wing is targeting him.
he can rebound.

nothing about says "straight 2" to me.

Pels ain’t asking for what the raptors were asking for OG. Obviously a different situation. And not OGs fault. The pacers offered what, 3 firsts for OG?

i get that but you said herb >>> OG as a head up comparison

 

[addict4sneakers]

There were plays to be made by their star PG down the stretch that had little do with spacing and rebounding. They used brooks as a screener a few times and Ja was hell bent on challenging AD. we saw the 2 on 1 break. we saw Ja turn it over in the back court that lead to a layup in OT. They could have closed that game with what they had

 

[addict4sneakers]

In terms of individual defense, yes

 

[WASHED KING]

Grizz were up 2 with 6 seconds left. Only problem, they had to stop the GOAT.

THEN IN OT??

DILLION BROOKS HAD HIMSELF GLAZED UP IN HONEY.


P A U S E

 

[Maximus Meridius]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

In terms of individual defense, yes

That much better though?

Then you throw in their scoring…

If they’re both paid similar contracts (which if herb doesn’t get one then this isn’t a discussion) I don’t think you can say one is significantly more valuable than the other
