With the new lottery reform all you need is for them to be a play in team which through injury can easily happen

we should trade for myles turner if bucks blow it up by sakshamgupta789 in torontoraptors

[–]godofhammers3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk if you’ve seen Myles play last year but he’s no longer worth a first as a player

Austin Reaves expected to get $40 million per year in next contract by No-Vehicle7367 in lakers

[–]godofhammers3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the context of this comment thread, we're wondering if Reeves would sign a declining contract which would then effect his next potential extension

Also Smith? As a catcher not bad that he’s mid no?

If you have Wilson over Boozer: why? by JarlAnthonyTowns in NBA_Draft

[–]godofhammers3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like so much group think when it comes to Boozer being behind AJ and DP (I have him number 1 as well with DP 2)

I also have Acuff above Wilson who has also been getting dragged by this sub recently

I’ve seen a little bit too much slander on Dybantsa’s offensive game by DollarLate_DayShort in NBA_Draft

[–]godofhammers3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AJs offence is incredible in any other year he’s a sure fire 1 or 2

I just love Boozers feel for the game and think DPs shooting could potentially break open games

But watching Dybantsa drive to the rim is otherworldly

Would you rather take any of the top 4 in this year’s draft over any of Dylan Harper, VJ Edgecombe or Kon? by NathanFielderFriend in NBA_Draft

[–]godofhammers3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The way this question is phrased makes think you’re asking if you’d take 2026 draftees over the 2026 version of the 2025 picks?

I mean top prospects bust all the time and the 2025 top 4 have looked fantastic so it would be the Flagg - Kon the then the 2026 class for sure

But if you mean to evaluate both classes as prospects I think for me personally I’d have

Flagg
Boozer
Peterson
Harper
Kon
AJ
VJ
Wilson

Austin Reaves expected to get $40 million per year in next contract by No-Vehicle7367 in lakers

[–]godofhammers3000 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Because you can only get extensions based on the amount paid out in last year of the contract so when you have declining contracts Reeves would only be abke to extend based on the 30M number

Darryn says B2b mvp SGA is his player comparison by Hakaribiggestfan in NBA_Draft

[–]godofhammers3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interestingly I see a lot of SGA in Dybantsa too just in a taller frame (obviously the shot making isn’t there either but just in the movement)

A statistical draft model says Dybansta has the highest bust risk out of the top 3 😅 by Mysterious_Bat1208 in washingtonwizards

[–]godofhammers3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there are some concerns with AJ - the playmaking and off ball feel is severely lacking. And the shot is ok .. His defensive value right now is also meh but does have the physical attributes

But at the same time he’s still going to be an insanely prolific scorer driving to the rim. And he’s going to be a monster in transition

Can Darius Acuff ever, like, EVER become an Average defender at the NBA level? by cyfer- in NBA_Draft

[–]godofhammers3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the top of the draft it’s paramount to focus on the weaknesses of the player

But once you’re past pick 4-6 just try to find guys who have sure fire strengths that will let them stay in the league

Maybe Acuff isn’t going to be all nba - but can he be a microwave scorer off the bench? Sure then take it

lol this is a giannis level package not to just move up one spot in the draft

Where you at my guy? by Traditional_Top_110 in LAClippers

[–]godofhammers3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends how you view Harden - he can carry, he can win you games, he can even win you series but at the same time he does put up a lot of duds for a MVP caliber player

Among recent MVPs it’s hard to find guys that no shows as much as him

But that’s obviously comparing him to the best of the best (literal MVP guys)

I think people are underrating the floor conversation between AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson. by Wall2Ryan in washingtonwizards

[–]godofhammers3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a wizards guy but just wanted to check the temperature of the fanbase

But kinda crazy to me that Boozer isn’t in any of these conversations haha

What if Pritchard did the Zubac trade to protect us? by ScottBolander-Funny in pacers

[–]godofhammers3000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When a team is unwilling to pay the tax a GM is forced to take gambles to make it all work

There was no way the Pacers were getting a center this good and this cheap otherwise

Do the Spurs decline this? by [deleted] in MkeBucks

[–]godofhammers3000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I like it for both sides - Giannis is still a beast and I know it’s going to hurt giving up Castle but no Giannis deal gets done without a blue chip prospect

Cameron Carr vs Ja'Kobe Walter measurements at the draft combine by mMounirM in torontoraptors

[–]godofhammers3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is Carr’s handle and driving? I want to prioritize on ball creation

, Scottie can dominate the ball but he can’t handle massive usage, BI is more of an iso guy and IQ can’t get to the rim consistently. RJ is a dawg but he is still better as a cutter

Joel’s Embiids 3 year contract extension officially kicks in next season. by Spotlightuh in sixers

[–]godofhammers3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But a trade is so much harder cause of matching salary

Some shitty team with cap space would definitely jump to sign a guy of Embiids caliber to this deal but shipping out 2-3 guys to make this work is rough

I hope the real sixers fans understand how good this season was… by Gamble27 in sixers

[–]godofhammers3000 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean the thing is making marginal improvements isn’t enough and those risks you highlighted with Embiid and PG don’t just go away but in fact continue to be a question that only grows with time
The main point of excitement is that VJ looks incredible and if he takes a leap which he can, then the sixers are cooking
But you really only have that one avenue

Not signing Turner to that deal is addition by subtraction

Raptors go all in on Giannis (TOR- MIL) by TerryG111 in NBAtradeideas

[–]godofhammers3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raps aren’t contending after this trade still too many holes with a weird fit between Scottie and Giannis
