RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - mvossman - 06-15-2022 (06-15-2022, 12:18 PM)Jommybone Wrote: Didn’t they decide this already when they gave him a guaranteed deal for next year? He looks like a great LONG-TERM project to me. Closer to contributing already than anyone we’re going to draft at #26 but with considerable development still needed. I have to say I do not see what you see. He has been in the league for 6 years and shown virtually no improvement. It would be one thing if he was good at something (like Frank with defense) and he needed to get the rest of his game up to speed, but I'm not sure what that would be? I guess he was not terrible with the Warriors, but he seemed useless here once he got his contract.

You inserted yourself into the conversation that had goal posts and changed them yourself all while being aggressive in your wording. I didn't realize it was a closed conversation. I made the simple statement that if we need to open a roster spot I don't think it matters which player we remove. You consistently reply that it matters what we replace those guys with, which had nothing to do with my point. I did not realize "who cares" is aggressive wording. I'm sorry if I triggered you.

You literally made the following reply to Branduil: Because any addition we bring to the roster requires figuring out who goes to make room. I don’t know why you don’t understand that. Setting aside the arguably aggressive tone in that statement, that is what I replied to. How is saying it does not matter which of those 5 guys is removed is not relevant to the conversation? It was in direct response to your statement. In fact you literally just agreed with that sentiment in your response above. Is "who cares" that much of a trigger? I meant in the same way as "I don't think it matters" or "why does it matter". Would those have been better? I had no idea it would send us down a rathole in which you tell me I'm dumb because I don't care who we add to the roster. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - KillerLeft - 06-15-2022 I guess it's cool that we're starting dumb arguments about roster spots 11-15 instead of roster spots 5-10, like we normally do. Seems like that's a sign of team progress. For the record, the only thing I think we need 100% agreement on around here is that the great Dorian Finney-Smith is a treasure and nothing even remotely disparaging about him should ever by typed in this space. But that's obvious fact, and the rest of these things are all opinions, of course.

Which what I said, did just that. He inserted himself in a conversation I was in saying he didn't understand why I cared. I said, I don't know why you don't understand that. Matched aggression. Sure, I could have left it alone and gone on, but we all have our hang ups.

It was not about should we let Boban OR Burke go. So you AND Branduil moved the goal posts if you think it was about either/or. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - Chicagojk - 06-15-2022 Cato on Josh Green grade Green’s emergence occurred in the weeks prior to our midseason grades. In the months that followed, Green averaged more than 18 minutes while playing in every one of the season’s final 50 games. His most electric moments came in those early weeks; opponents began playing him for the pass and, at times, daring him to shoot. He shot about 35 percent on 3s in those final 50 games, and I believe he’ll continue growing more confident and effective behind the arc. But there’s more development needed, not just more made jumpers, but more defensive consistency, more purpose when driving and simply more impact in his minutes. Because he’s still 21, there’s reason to believe he’ll get there. And Frank Ntilikina, remarkably, is only 23 years old. There’s probably still untapped development for him in the coming seasons. It would be helpful to streamline his role; he needs to view himself as a 3-and-D wing, not the point guard he was drafted as, someone who can meaningfully attack closeouts and make high-level passing reads, not someone tasked with creating or initiating offense. That, plus his developing jumper plus his defensive ferocity, could turn him into an every-game rotation player. His development also could stall, which would probably mean he’s out of the league within a couple seasons. But when we discuss Nico Harrison’s tenure, it was smart work to sign Ntilikina to a non-guaranteed second year. If he were unrestricted this summer, another team might have seen enough to toss him something slightly above the league minimum. Instead, I’m pretty certain he’ll be back with a chance to showcase those needed improvements.

Seems like that's a sign of team progress. Nature of fan discussions. Mavs just made the WCF and it seems like no one is willing to touch the core rotation. That leaves us with end of the bench guys. Don´t really agree with that logic but imagine the reaction if I would start a thread and suggest a trade that includes DFS.

Luka and JB (only because signing him is the ONLY option right now) are the only trade pieces I will not touch. Others, we can talk about the validity of trading them for sure (most of them we have, which is why it makes sense to move down the roster!).

I really like the development of him attacking the close out. I hope to see even more of that next season and then he would be a complete player that I would want to lock down as an untouchable. I think he can get there, which is also a step in your direction too! Also, I am aware that you were trying to lighten the mood.

I think your take is eminently reasonable. Mine may well be wrong. But to the extent I’m not seeing eye to eye with you, it’s mostly because 1. I view Chriss as a Nico/Kidd decision. The summer signings not so much. Burke not at all. 2. Chriss has the potential to be what I view as a much rarer quantity—another Maxi (or Maxi light). None of the other guys qualify as hard-to-find types. Defend the rim, switch screens, and stretch the floor. If he can do even 2 of the 3 there’s a spot for him here. And there’s a chance he can become average at all 3, given time, which would make him valuable. 3. I fear Burke burned bridges with his no-inoculation stance. My view on that stuff = whatever. But I don’t think my view is the NBA norm. RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - StrandedOnBeauboisHill - 06-15-2022 I wonder if Philly would accept a Sterling Brown for Embiid trade. It would address our needs in the front court and the 6ers would get a basketball player(?) in return.

Branduil asked a fairly innocuous question regarding why multiple posters were talking about something so much. Although not directed at you specifically, apparently it triggered you enough to A, make a statement that you yourself have contradicted, and B, to effectively call Branduil an idiot for not understanding said statement (which you yourself don't agree with). I guess I didn't like to see what looked to me like a Mod/regular poster bullying another one, and maybe that impacted my choice of language. For future reference regarding your concern with aggression: asking why folks are talking about something != calling an individual poster stupid RE: ROSTER TALK: $10.87M TPE | rebounder priority for DAL, not Gobert? | LaVine? - StepBackJay - 06-15-2022 (06-15-2022, 04:37 PM)StrandedOnBeauboisHill Wrote: I wonder if Philly would accept a Sterling Brown for Embiid trade.
