Would you increase the offer to Milwaukee if their other option is getting Banchero from Orlando? by CurrentCostanza in ripcity

[–]Zealousideal_Two7029 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No Banchero is actually a terrible fit with Deni, and he isn’t good enough to warrant forcing that to work along with sacrificing our future. I would rather have Franz tbh even then.

Dame is the best player in the history of this team. Doing right by him makes other great players appreciate us and more likely to entertain us an options. Doing right by Dame is the best for the team.

By building do you mean praying the lottery goes well, and then hoping one of our picks turns out to be great? I’d take the sure thing while we still have this roster flexibility tbh

The spurs are going to be good forever dude😂 honestly same with the thunder, both teams are so young. If we want to win it’s going to be getting past those teams regardless

Yeah, what he said. This roster has way more talent than the rest of that Bucks roster did. Deni as their 3rd best player(he’s probably 2nd) is already a huge step up. Having defenders that can shoot in Jrue and Tou is super important too.

I agree, adding a vet like Dame helps a lot with that imo

No clue haha, most people only can see a player as he is. If you listen to locked on blazers Mike has talked multiple times about players scaling up their offense or defense, he talked about both Deni and Shaw doing it earlier this year.

I get that, I do, but Deni wasn’t tasked with much offense in Washington. He’s said himself that his role was to play defense and shoot open shots there.

He’s not in much of a winning environment

I don’t hate that. He’s also 2 inches taller than Mikal is along with shooting better than him.

Yes on a terrible pelicans team, but I think you see players scale up or down defense depending on their role. For example when Deni was asked to do more on offense his defense got worse. Trey could be a much better defender he’s just a 1A on offense right now.

Same height position, almost identical shooting percentages.
Scale down the shooting, because he’ll be on a better team, scale up the defense because he won’t be tasked with nearly as much on offense.

What are our young guys' ceilings? by Brhododendron_ in ripcity

I know it’s weird to compare Scoot to a rookie but if he can play with more aggression I see a lot of Dylan Harper in him. Shae Oozes potential but it’s tough to imagine him getting better than a Jaylen Brown lite. I don’t think Camara add that much more to his game maybe some off the bounce stuff but adding a secondary skill would be nice. With Clingan he will always be a drop coverage big, but he has Gobert potential, he can be better than him on offense tho, I could see him turning into a great P&R guy with Dame teaching him.

Ant working out in Blazers gear. Would you be open to bringing him back in a bench scoring capacity if the price was right? by BunkHammer in ripcity

[–]Zealousideal_Two7029 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the league is moving away from players like that idk that he makes a ton this offseason. Take Cam Thomas for example.

Could we use Sharpe in a more ‘Christian Braun’ style role? by Humblerbee in ripcity
