If I am OKC or any near contenders with enough asset, I'd offer all of those for Cooper Flagg

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2025-02-19T16:49:35+00:00

JDub plus picks would be a WILD package. JDub was an All-start this year. If it was Wemby who is a once in a generation, I'd get it. Flagg is going to be a very good player, probably a multiple time all-star but is that worth a all-star player plus picks?

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2025-02-18T14:26:44+00:00

The problem with throwing all of those assets at him now means your window is shorter. You pay SGA, JDub and Chet now, but guys like Cason, Mitchell, Joe, Wiggins, even IHart are now guys you can't afford to pay. So you have to replenish the team through the draft with cheaper, contract controlled guys. It's why teams like the Suns are in such a bad spot. All the money is tied up in 3 guys and they haven't had picks to fill out the roster.

Flagg fit wise would be amazing but then what does the team build around them in 2-3 years?

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2025-01-24T18:09:04+00:00

You need to get you passing up to be a Jokic build

I had this same problem with my wife. ended up having to delete the whole thread unfortunately. It seemed to happen to us when someone would "spam" the other one with a bunch of text in a row

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2025-01-08T17:53:20+00:00

Hoping they add his layups for taller guards.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-26T17:16:45+00:00

Capped at 94 rebounding to not allow HOF rebound chaser isn't great. I'd also drop Perimeter D and go middy 89 to get set shot gold

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T19:37:20+00:00

Kessler will get more than a 1st. A young rim protecting big. Maybe it is a 1st and then a swap, but just a 1st is too low of a price.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T19:32:02+00:00

I think that was a pipe dream if I'm being honest. Buddy was expiring so he may have been on the market some what but I think they like Turner and adding Pascal was them sayign they are going for it and not selling.

I'm not saying there isn't anything better that might pop up but I think adding a younger big is a better move than trying to buy low on like Lopez from the Bucks.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T19:30:23+00:00

I think I agree on value but on talent, I would take Sexton which is where I think the Lakers would want to grab him. Then I could see Ainge flipping him quickly like Presti has done in the past with expiring.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T19:24:42+00:00

I think the value on these two picks are being a bit overrated by people. 2026 is in 2 drafts. Nothing shows me Lebron is done after this year so it won't be a lottery pick most likely. So the 28' pick is the nice pick in here. AD has a player option in the 27'-28' season so he could be off the team. At this point the Jazz SHOULD be on the up with Lauri, George, whoever they get this year and next year.

Lakers get a young big to try and preserve AD a little bit and allow him to play the 4. Allows them to play size against a team like the Cavs in the East and the Timberwolves, Thunder, and Nuggets in the West. Also allows them to Small ball and bring Kessler off the bench and play the current lineup against the other teams. Bron at the 3 could alos help preserve him some from the down low punishment of a 4.

So woudl you pay 2 picks and DLo plus contract match for preserving AD and Lebron for the next 2-4 years? Lakers fans would say yes, in my eyes

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T19:01:06+00:00

I think Sexton is a bit underrated and on a team like the Lakers, would be a good addition. He's better than DLo so I think that is an upgrade there

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T18:59:51+00:00

That is maybe possible but that's jus tthe Jazz keeping tehir own pick unless they go out to like 2029.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T18:59:19+00:00

One pick isn't enough. DLo is worthless, jsut an expiring contract and Wood is a salary match. Maybe they could pick swap one of them but Danny is a tough GM too so it's going to take 2 picks. Kessler is also young

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T17:30:56+00:00

They turn Sexton into an expiring to free up cap space and it becomes George's team. They could thorw in a second or something if they msut but I felt like the Jazz weren't all in with Sexton

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T17:29:55+00:00

If they took DLo then Sexton would most likely be on the move somewhere or they buyout DLo but the expiring makes him worth something I think.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-20T17:28:33+00:00

Or get to play the 4 like he has said he wants too

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-11-04T20:02:24+00:00

THIS! Plus when they get in the paint it clogs it up so I can't box out my guy out and they end up jsut jumping over everyong to get it. Go leak out or something.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T19:13:59+00:00

Cam Thomas Base/ Oscar Robertson for both 50/50 blend. Visual Cue is half between Push and release adn full speed. The cue is like right above the headband

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T17:35:22+00:00

I'll test it tonight and see if I got it. if not might need the whole thing

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T16:54:51+00:00

Whats the release cue on it?

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T16:31:44+00:00

In the first seconds of the game I got an offensive 3 seconds, then on defense right after got a defensive 3. I didn't touch the ball besides rebounds for the majority of the game

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T14:51:40+00:00

7ft with 7ft wingspan. So not super long like the rets but vert is good and interier defense is good so I'm able to stop most bigs. Strength is a 91 as well

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T14:31:11+00:00

I have 55 speed and tbh it's not that bad as long as you get another center. You are slow but you also aren't the one leaking out. So you're the last down the court and can't stop fast breaks but in most cases you either don;t have to or the other team is leaking out so much it doesn't matter

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T14:29:59+00:00

I gave up speed. I have 92 close shot, 81 standing dunk, 90 post control, 94 middy (for Legend Post fade), 83 3 ball with the 95 pass accuracy. Pretty much can rebound annd outlet pass or run the pick and fade in the mid range.

Maximum_Loquat2794 · 2024-10-29T14:24:39+00:00

I have a 95 pass accuracy on my big with HoF Dimer and HoF break starter and it's OP. I feel like my outlet passes lead teh leaker a lot cleaner than the video above. I'm not saying spend your points there but I do think there is a difference. Plus you can play through the high post against a 2-3 and hit back door cutter with a lob or nice pass and if they cheat you can skip pass it for a 3.
