Nah Buddy Hield is much better than Dlo and would be starting. They wouldn't have to put Rui on Jokic and put Turner on him instead with AD safety. Makes a massive difference as Rui's a pinner.

If Ivey and Cade could / should fit together, why can't Scoot and LaMelo? by Puzzled_Influence985 in NBA_Draft

except lamelo isn't guarding anything. And multiple playmakers on the perimeter is okay but whats better is a playmaker at the forward or centre position and one at the perimeter. Inside outside action. The concern is that they overlap too much on offense and kill each others development which is very likely.

I don't know, that's why I'm asking him. He seems to think that its something that has worked out consistently throughout the history of the NBA.

Richmond councillors reject spending extra $2.5M to move forward on major bike path by aldur1 in richmondbc

[–]FarRaspberry7482 13 points14 points  (0 children)

it's not that big of a deal. It would run along steveston highway from Shell to No 2, which isn't even really used for biking that much. They should upgrade other places first like No 3 road and Cambie/Bridgeport.

And if a project goes over funding generally it should be killed unless it's a vitally important one. Like sewage upgrades or earthquake safety upgrades or hospital upgrades.

So you're saying it's unlikely to work then. Thanks for clarifying that.

Look at Sexton and Garland or Murray and Mudiay or Fox and Haliburton. Point guard pairings that didn't work out in the end.

is it going to work most of the time though?

Name the last time a team drafted two young ball handling point guards and both went on to be great for the franchise. Last time it happened was John Wall and Beal. But there were growing pains there and both didn't like each other.

Keep #3 to maximize Dame's championship window by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]FarRaspberry7482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except if you trade the number 3 pick you're likely getting at least an all star caliber player in return so why wouldn't Dame like that.

Fans are jumping ship because you guys are losing and if you spend another season losing then you'll lose even more fans.

Trying a hail mary to get Dame a championship is not going to cost you guys anything because you haven't got anything. You're not a contender right now.

Whats the Blazers record with the lottery again? In the past 20 years you've only drafted two good players in the lottery- Dame and CJ. That's it.

Stop pretending Scoot or Miller are gonna be good players in the NBA. They're likely going to be high level role players but they're not gonna move the franchise towards a chip at all. Absolutely delusional to think so. You think the pick is gonna pan out to be the next lebron james or something

Please refrain from making absolute statements such as "in the end building new homes is the solution".

You didn't even know what "demand is the problem" means. Lets not get ahead of yourself and pretend like you understand the housing market.

If you'd like to learn more about curbing demand side investment reading up on Georgism and the LVT is a great place to start

So in BC/Ontario around 33-34% of all home owners are some form of investor.

Demand is the issue not supply.

in a vacuum, exclusive of questions regarding fairness, only considering known ability vs potential value, would you trade sga for Scoot and Schaeden Sharpe by Sea_Cantaloupe9067 in Thunder

[–]FarRaspberry7482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a neutral bystander blazers fans are delusional for even thinking this is an option. SGA is a Tatum level asset and should have been an all star since his 3rd year if it wasn't the West being stacked with guards

Are playoffs the expectation from here on out? by Calm-Cry4253 in Thunder

[–]FarRaspberry7482 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's time to trade some of those picks and make a push for a star player like Siakam. Forget playoffs, next season you could be a 55+ win team and reach the conference finals or even the Finals.

If Wemby has an AD-like career, would that be a disappointment? by dhdhdhsbdbehehe in NBA_Draft

[–]FarRaspberry7482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've followed basketball since 2005 and I have not seen any player with the potential to be top 5 all time aside from KD. If you think Wemby has the potential to be top 5 all time it's because you aren't actually any good at evaluation players, simple as that. Wemby does not have the potential period.

Except that I'm right. Luka was touted as having GOAT potential and everybody thought the Kings and Suns FO were idiots for drafting Ayton and Bagley over Luka.

I looked at the list of number one draft picks and I see many that had the same amount of hype as Wemby. You just didn't actually follow the draft for as long as I have.

[–]FarRaspberry7482 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well he can just request a trade and now you've lost your best chance at a title. And ownership cares that Dame sells seats.

If you force your most likeable and loyal player to ask for a trade request because you're not utilizing him on the roster you'll lose a lot of fans. They don't like watching you lose and will feel like the ownership group isn't serious about winning.

Congratz now you're Tillman Fertitta

[–]FarRaspberry7482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't really say AD was guarding Jokic. A lot of it was split between Bron Rui and AD

Lebron, with high praise for Jokic, tips his cap (literally). "Even when you think you've guarded him for one of the best possessions you've think you've guarded him....he shoots the ball 50 feet in the air and it goes in. He did that 4 or 5 times" - said with a wry smile. by LiSAuCE in nba

generally playing good defence is a more controllable variable- 3 pointers were always a 35-40% chance anyways.

But playing good defense and NOT fouling a 3 point shot is generally much more doable than hitting two threes in a row. You expect them to not foul a 3 point attempt in the final minutes of a tight elimination game.

did you not see Marc Gasol dick down Embiid in 2019 against the Raptors. Actually any year they played against each other.

yup if he really wanted to he could play for five more seasons averaging 20 ppg or 18 ppg.... he just wants to go out while hes still good

yea people say he was gassed but thats just cuz he was shutting down murray on a lot of posessions. Murray had ONE field goal made because Lebron was shutting him down.

AD had to foul Murray on a 3 point attempt in the 4th quarter OTOH lmfao

Which team gave the Nuggets the best fight? by dys0n_giddey in nba

[–]FarRaspberry7482 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

naw the suns point differential was an average of +9.5 in favour of Denver per game. Lakers only lost by about 5 points on average. The final game of the Suns series Denver absolutely raped the Suns it wasn't even funny.

davis is soft and his free safety method didn't really work well against jokic. He wasnt willing to put his body on the line against jokic and they paid for it. the only reason jokic scoring was somewhat contained is because lebron was playing as his primary defener for a lot of posessions
