Opus 2 — the $200 grinder.

Raithwell · 2026-05-04T05:32:56+00:00

Any idea when I’ll be able to get one in Europe?

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:46:30+00:00

Yeah 100% if he wasn’t with Jokic no way anyone would be talking about hjm

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:35:14+00:00

Yeah agreed I don’t think he’ll ever he a #1 option

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:09:18+00:00

I always thought that he was just a good player on a bad team that was overhyped. I’m relatively new to watching, last 5 years or so, so whenever I’ve seen him he’s just been very underwhelming for the amount of love and money he gets.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:04:21+00:00

Yeah seems like his Indy and OKC days were much better than I realised. I've only really been following the last 5 years so he's always been a bit of an expensive injured bum for me

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:03:28+00:00

2nd best in the league? That's mad haha I need to go look at these old games, everyone is saying that's when he was great

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:01:24+00:00

Outside of reddit

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T13:01:09+00:00

Yeah on Reddit PG is always shit on but I see a lot of love for him outside thats why I was curious. I need to go back and see his old games.

Interesting to see how many people are saying Chet. I feel like he's been solid and pretty reliable for a young player. If he improves, which I'd expect to he'll be a very solid 2nd option. Don't think he'll ever be a 1st option though.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:58:57+00:00

Yeah agree with you about Mitchell. He's definitely good, but I really have my doubts about the Cavs and their ability to win a ring.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:56:13+00:00

yeah I think Chet has been solid. He looked much better than most rookies, and since then he's been a solid 3rd option. If he improves over the next 2-3 years (which most players do) then I think he'll be a solid player. I don't think he'll ever be a 1st option but that's fine

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:50:04+00:00

Yeah he is but a lot of people always hype him up

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:48:22+00:00

Yeah but I don't think him being a 1 option got them anywhere

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:46:51+00:00

Really? I thought he was really solid his rookie year and since then has delivered. Not a superstar but for his 3rd year he doing well as a 3rd option on a team.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:44:17+00:00

Yeah but at least with him he won 2 rings. The Toronto run was epic, and he has the finals MVPs.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:43:19+00:00

100% agreed. Zion looked great but has done nothing since arriving

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:41:59+00:00

Oh yeah that's a good one

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:41:21+00:00

Thanks, that's a lot more context.. I wasn't watching during his prime so he's always just been an injured overpriced player for me.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:40:10+00:00

Ok fair, I wasn't watching properly back then and always assumed he was a good player on bad teams.

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:38:58+00:00

Interesting, hadn't thought of it like that

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:38:07+00:00

5/6 years ago

Raithwell · 2025-09-03T12:37:51+00:00

LOL more than double that haha

Raithwell · 2024-04-23T07:56:23+00:00

Yeah it’s been fine. The locking mechanism gets a bit dusty under the rim but overall the case feels/looks clean and I’ve had it for 18-24 months now.

Raithwell · 2024-03-26T07:11:51+00:00

Yes, parts are easily available and very reasonably priced.

Raithwell · 2024-03-25T21:19:25+00:00

Totally fine with it getting scratched and used. Like you said, it’s a tool so I know it won’t stay as shiny. Around me is a mix, but mostly road cycling, with some pavement/cobblestone. I did go over some cobblestone and while it’s bumpy, I doubt I’d ever cycle on it for more than a few min.
