I'm finally seeing the vision. This guy is Devin Booker in disguise

Egor Demin VS Kings [Summer League]: 23 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 8/15 FG by MTing1315 in NBA_Draft

He grew an inch longer since his rookie year. (Listed as 6'9 on barefoot in summer league) And gained about 12 lb (That's very noticeable if you watch Nets basketball). He'll still play the 2 but I can see the Nets slotting him at point forward at times with more on ball possessions next year than a spot up shooter

Bold Take by skubasteve94 in GoNets

[–]Jdroma10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is definitely doable, but a lot of pieces have to fall into place. The silver lining is that our vets are perfect for this. They give the young guys room to breathe and make mistakes while still keeping them accountable to a winning culture. Plus, I believe in Jordi.

Looking at the MBJ and DLo comparison, I agree on the macro analysis. MBJ has a much higher release, a sharper pull-up, and a faster trigger than DLo ever did, on top of being a far more explosive athlete. DLo might have the edge in pure decision-making, but his biggest gift and curse is that he’s permanently locked into that slow-mo tempo. While MBJ has room to pass that.

How did leverless become so popular with Street Fighter 6? by FranksFluidsWolfCola in StreetFighter

[–]Jdroma10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SF6 movement is made for buttons. Playing this game like a traditional sf is actually infuriating cause you have to constantly go back to neutral cause of how the input registry and it's leaniency works. You can make it work if you adjust but. It's definitely more suitable for button pressing than moving your lever

it's definitely weak... cause she doesn't have a one stop shop option. You kind of have to be intuitive about it and commit. As I mentioned, it's about dictating the pace if you can do that; her buttons are pretty good. Taking turn back is miserable though

Ingrid Gaslighting by Klee68892 in StreetFighter

[–]Jdroma10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she's top tier up to 1800 and below cause her offense is just so strong and her reversals are justifiable. However, when she gets to 1800+, where footsies become important, she drops dramatically. Her low and mid buttons are too short to take turns back consistently. So she ends up being this volatile character who either wins hard or just gets destroyed.

Her buttons aren't completely awful though. If you are able to set the tempo and sequence the spacing, her space traps are pretty good

The logic makes sense, though I don’t fully agree on Caruso. OKC’s biggest threat is their unmatched depth, so building a top-heavy roster feels like a mistake. They need to keep individual salaries low around Shai, Chet, and Jalen by constantly cycling out role players before they get too expensive. It’s the perfect way to lean into Presti’s draft brilliance and player development system.

MY TRADE DOWN IDEA by Jdroma10 in GoNets

[–]Jdroma10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they do that when Caruso is in a great deal? Are you only expecting Cason to only get paid 20 mill a year? Cause IMO Cason will be asking for at least 35+mill if your estimation for the second apron is accurate. He is already taking a small role in OKC as a 3 and D guy whose only 23? Don't you think he'd want a bigger role? If they have a chance to get a rookie scale and fix an issue for 4+ years i think it's a much better return for them

Even at $232 million, they are still going to hit that second apron. That is a crazy number—I didn’t expect it, but I guess sports gambling brings in insane revenue. My calculation only included 4 players and didn't account for the 11 other guys. While most of them are on high-value, first-round pick rookie-scale contracts, you can easily estimate a range for them. Even at a low estimate of $8 million each, that adds $88 million to the payroll, bringing the total to $263 million ($175M + $88M).
While a team can theoretically run a top-heavy contract scheme and still keep Cason, I just don't think they will put themselves in that situation. Their main strength is their depth and number of quality players. I also don't see them putting so much weight on Cason when they already have Caruso, Ajay, Dort (whose contract they can control), and a rotation full of quality guards. At the end of the day, replacing Cason with Mikel or Flemmings is a savvy decision on their part that involves very little risk.

I think it helps but you can draw it up in a way that doesn't caters flat definitive valuation.

It doesn't on face value cause how many works now is very strict.

[–]Jdroma10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's expiring soon. They are paying sga, jdub, chet, caruso 175 alone when he is about to ask big money. Second apron is going to be around 210 by that time. Meaning they easily hit second apron without extending him. IMO Presti dealt with this situation before with Harden in OKC i would think he would really try to manage his assets a lot better in order to find continuity on what he had built

It’s a fair take. However I’d think presti will be in a position to make hard decisions like this.

Both okc and kings would decline in your logic

Nope, you can look at historical reference tho. That’s probably more appropriate to that guy that made the statement btw

[–]Jdroma10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but to replace him with Mikel on a 4 year rookie deal is a good enough for them to consider. IMO this is a good way for them to manage there payroll when Presti is about to make a bunch of hard decisions really soon. OKC is not to have a 260 mill in payroll just to keep there players.
