He said "Well we're only 5-15 on 3's through half and Luka is 1-5 on 3's but at least we're winning. Melli looks like a steal in the trade we made, I know JJ is supposed to be the big piece we picked up but Melli is ballin"
I told him Melli makes that trade lopsided in our favor, and he agreed.
I also told him If Redick never plays one game or makes one three in a playoff game, still a good trade if Melli is for real. And If JJ comes back healthy and makes some threes that help us get in the playoffs or win a playoff game or two, it's a grand slam!
Not sure we can call it lopsided. NO is probably saying the same thing right now.
J Johnson’s avg over the last two games:
16.5 pts/3.5 rebs/4 asts/1.5 stls/1 block
That’s shooting over 50% from FG and over 60% from deep. I’d say with fairly high certainty He doesn’t keep that up, but I bet their fan base is saying the same thing about Nico.
I’d love for it to be a win-win, more for Johnson’s sake than NO.- I really liked Johnson while he was here.
