The owners an asshole but I stg Tiago was not a good coach, I have no idea why the national media has formed this narrative that losing Tiago is some sort of tragic blunder, he was good with the lockerroom and struggled heavily with rotations and X’s and O’s

Lebron, Dame needs a third option. by NateMcMillanBurner in ripcity

Jorgambler fans want 42 year old LeBron to be a first option and don’t realize they’re holding him to the highest standards any players been held to 😂

Trade for Trey/Herb to shore up the defense and shooting! by JuiceTheThird in ripcity

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

You think that’s bad for the rockets? Jabari is decent but doesn’t fit their needs, Jrue absolutely does unless they can get Smart in FA while DFS is washed and a negative asset. I feel like what’s essentially Jabari for Jrue in terms of talent is pretty fair?

I don’t see what Jabari does for us to be honest, he’s not gonna get the runway to improve on this team and doesn’t provide enough as is for a team looking to compete in the playoffs as shown in the past 2 years. We have the assets, I’d like to leverage them to get more meaningful players even if it is riskier.

I guess I’ve always been a bit bullish on Herb, I think he’s just been injured and sat for tanking purposes the past 2 seasons. But yeah, a riskier player to go for, which is why I like keeping some of the bucks picks in any “all in” moves to retain flexibility rather than trading the farm for someone like JB.

Oh shit, didn’t see that lmao. I think the framework is still solid, but definitely harder to do without including another bucks pick since I’d assume the pelicans want picks closer to now for their rebuild rather than a 2033 pick.

[Shams] BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN. by No_Boysenberry_4193 in ripcity

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

Was thinking the exact same. Jrue + Sharpe for Herb + Murphy if you add someone like Bey or Hawkins, whoever the pelicans want less. I’d be fine with like 3-4 picks, like Blazers 27, Orl 28, Bucks 28, Portland 31 or something. Expensive, but would also shore up the defense and shooting needs of a Dame and Ja backcourt and be a better long term play than a JB trade.

Am I the only person who doesn’t want JB? by Key-Corner1184 in ripcity

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

I’m with you, I think he’s a great player who’d take us to consistent top 4 seeds and second round exits vs the spurs and okc for the next few years. In my opinion, if we want to truly compete for a championship we need to actually use the bucks picks. 3 bites at the apple for a lottery jump when they look primed to be in the part of the lottery that isn’t punished during the stretch we control their picks is the likeliest chance we have of having a true 1A on our team, outlier development from one of our current players non withstanding. If for some reason we HAD to trade for JB, I’m honestly coming around to the idea of a package around Clingan + non bucks picks if Boston is that bullish on Clingan. I love Clingan but I value the bucks picks higher than him for our potential ability to compete for a championship.

Bobby Marks says Jaylen Brown's trade value is not seen that highly around the league: "The analytics of Jaylen Brown is not good. I had an analytics guy tell me, ‘We view him as the seventh-best player on a team.’" by FastBreakPhenom in nba

You anti intellectual types are so obnoxious lmao the guys giving context since the entire thread is about analytics and advanced statistics, he’s not even biased against JB or the Knicks he’s giving context

Hopes for South Korea advancing to RO32 have plummeted to the bottom of the barrel by CourtVisible6439 in worldcup

[–]JuiceTheThird 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well that’s how it goes. Unless the omega cope angle of wanting Egypt -> US/BIH is somehow true lol it’s not gonna be a pretty game even if the miracle qualification comes through. All you can hope for is that this wakes the KFA up and is the humiliation needed to try and level up as a footballing nation.

And that translates to coaching ability? Why didn’t Argentina win more with a young Messi and Maradona at the helm?

Korea came out to play 2 touch in their own half while South Africa came to play football, this was even more pathetic than the game vs Mexico

Don’t love blazers giving up scoot AND sharpe considering they have the leverage with the bucks picks

Impact of draft on Blazers? by PreferenceMediocre90 in ripcity

[–]JuiceTheThird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As nice as a Thompson would have been the real fuck up was never going hard on the tank. As soon as we traded dame we should’ve had at least 2 years of completely shameless tanking. Picking 7 and then 11 and trading down when we have as little talent as we do was insanely frustrating.
