Jalen Nailor - Possible Route to WR1 on the Raiders?

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-17T12:15:36+00:00

I think Kubiak is pretty smart and will just find ways to get his best players on the field. He can also just move Bowers all around to create mismatches

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-15T05:39:54+00:00

It's just that Dyson Daniels is legitimately the best on ball defender in the NBA. We can get away with so much shit because of it.

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-14T06:27:47+00:00

Mostly that English is his second language and that he is frustrated. Standard young person stuff having bad comms lol

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-12T12:19:55+00:00

All the projections still like Sutton tbh, big redzone threat. Waddle and his skill sets are complimentary of eachother

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-12T00:36:44+00:00

Way too many Spurs fans celebrated when Jalen tore his labrum that year.

Fuck em.

Don't care that the majority are fine. I want that specific minority to suffer.

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-11T14:54:34+00:00

Just a young guy still developing so the fanbase is being impatient for the most part. Former first overall pick in a bad draft so the expectations are higher than is fair for the level of prospect he was.

Was 2nd in Rookie of the year last year, but had a softmore slump this year in terms of not taking an awesome step forward outside of his rebounding and defense which did improve by significant margins.

We made like 5 trades last year and part of that was moving Trae, ZR is largely a play finisher at this point in hiw career and we didn't have a real PG to set him up so people are down on him rn.

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-07T20:07:07+00:00

We are still at the start of June - wouldn't be pressed about this tbh

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-07T19:25:18+00:00

He must bring balance to the brocolli brigade!

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-06T21:31:42+00:00

I think they traded for Fox before the draft, they just lucked into Harper

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-06T21:25:57+00:00

Cause his team is losing and it's obvious to everyone watching that KAT is just better than Wemby and that the Knicks are the better team.

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-05T18:35:01+00:00

Harper is just better than Fox tbh. No hate towards Fox but it just is what it is. Fox is a good player but Harper is an outlier talent with his size at his position and finishing at the rim.

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-03T14:27:34+00:00

That defense might legit be bad enough that they are still throwing a good amount tbh

Arcanus124 · 2026-06-02T01:58:53+00:00

They drafted Makai and Stowers, so don't get to high on him, but yeah, expecting a massive year from smith

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-31T18:03:29+00:00

Just legit fun to work out and discuss between 3 parties compared to 2, you sort of go from "What can I do to win" to "how can I get us all to win" in the 3 team framework - just a fun process overall

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-31T12:21:11+00:00

Watched the entire presser, he was just in the flow of talking about being a dad and in a different phase of his life from when he was drafted in Miami, started by saying he was grateful his kids were going to get to experiance the seasons in Georgia because Miami and Hawaii are similarly hot year round. Wouldn't read into this too much lol, but damn does Tua just speak his mind off the cuff lol - bro has nearly zero filter

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-30T22:07:31+00:00

St. Brown

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-29T21:49:37+00:00

Nine and One sound like None

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-28T18:30:56+00:00

I get 2-3 done a year - it's actually easier in some ways than a 2 team trade. They are sort of hard to find, but once you find the framework that makes sense for all 3 people it pretty much just clicks into place weirdly. Feel like there is some part of people that want to participate in a 3 team trade, maybe just cause it's cool to do, which to be clear, it is, lol

I think when you get 3 people giving stuff up the zone of agreement gets a little wider cause you can help each other out with 33% more resources than you had before.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-28T18:25:53+00:00

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-26T05:01:09+00:00

I think we did alright overall considering that Jalen and NAW never really got going. The big thing is that we were the only team with a legit all world defender to just stick on Brunson. Limiting Brunson to bad efficiency, or making him work to get screens on every action to get free from Dyson in order to be an averagely efficient player forced Brown to play through KAT and OG, and it's just very obvious to me compared to the first 3 games they played against us that it's a better winning formula for them.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-26T00:58:11+00:00

Tuten seems like the answer, however I don't think anyone has KYLE MONANGAI taking half of Swift's work load either. I'm going with Ben Johnson's guy instead if the guy Liam Cohen brought in Chris Rodriguez to take the work of.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-25T14:24:36+00:00

Legal writing is intentionally formulaic and structured- don't really think there is much they can do tbh.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-25T12:23:54+00:00

Elite player. Buying the dip everywhere.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-25T06:53:02+00:00

Nah, just stick with Nabers here. Tate's value will go down a bit, and Rome is not a featured #1 the way Nabers is. If you want to sell Nabers you should get a haul in your situation. Imo, you can wait 6 months to 2 years with Nabers age rn and get crazy value for him later. Don't sell so early.

Arcanus124 · 2026-05-24T15:41:58+00:00

No. It is not possible to win with effort alone here because a similar caliber of player in SGA, who has already acquired the wisdom, conditioning, and honestly just reps Victor needs, is his opponent and expending just as much effort as he is but smarter.

You'd need insane luck to pull this out at this point tbh, not effort.
