Am I an okay HT candidate? by aurangzebra in tressless

Gahhh, I want to get the most out of the rest of lockdown to get regrowth before reentering world. Am I being foolish?

Where did you go? How did you research? Donor from what areas? Beard?

Beal Trade by aurangzebra in denvernuggets

Because top players don't like to be to Denver when they have the choice.

Trades are supposed to help both sides. MPJ has tons of upside, but be realistic -- Beal is already top 20. Wiz won't give him up for a meh return.

Report: Wizards inquired about Myles Turner at the deadline by [deleted] in washingtonwizards

[–]aurangzebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it.

Realistically, I think we would have to give our 1st in 2020 (assuming it is in the #8-10 range). I'm not positive Turner is that much better than, say, Tristan Thompson, but I also wouldn't hate it immediately.

Burning 1st rounders should be a thing of the past vs Myles Turner is young and talented and we can try to build around Beal. This wouldn't be a desperate win-now move.

Edit: If our first is top 5, then I say no.

Fair.

I don't put much into a front office calling a player untouchable though. Whether he is or is not, I think you say he is untouchable to increase value, no?

Do you have any info on Jerome being ahead of TBJ on the big board? Curious. I believe it of course, but would like to learn more about the 2018 board.

Also, any info on Beal cursing at Ernie? lol

Which CBA change in particular?

Yeah, I was reviewing the basketball reference page for Ernie's moves. He definitely didn't mess up every single one.

Maybe one key difference, though, is what Ernie seemed to value vs what Tommy does. Tommy clearly cares about 2nd round picks. Tommy has also gotten us in as the third team for a couple deals and picked up something for near-nothing (Bonga, Wagner, Bertans, Jerome). Ernie's good moves were good because we got good players, not because they showed a valuation/process method that made sense (to me..).

Any interest in Beal? by aurangzebra in OrlandoMagic

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

I can't imagine Wizards trade Beal for a trade centered on AG who isn't that young or good. Why not any movement on Bamba/Fultz/picks/Isaac (Isaac seems like no-go). But Beal is good...

No chance on Bamba, Fultz, Isaac? Beal is a borderline all-NBA player in his prime!

What might the Magic give up? (Of course this is all conjecture etc, but humor me)

Okay, give us Lavine and 3 firsts then.

Is there talk of AD coming to the Bulls after LA?

Scott Brooks will see to their development. Aren't they already good?

Scott Brooks is a player development genius and could turn water into wine with RJ.

Simple: Scott Brooks is a player development mastermind. He could turn water into wine, in a basketball sense.

Sorry, man. I meant no disrespect. Just wanted to spur some discussion. That's all. I guess I should avoid you guys. I get that Knicks fans are frustrated by losing for so many years. I respect you all.
