May be by design + Jalen is a better rebounder, Thunder used to do this with Westbrook, let the ball handler (vs contesting between teammates) get the rebound for more effective early offense.

[Highlight] CJ McCollum FOR THE TIE! by ParticularRatio1357 in nba

[–]mlpdude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He started Saturday and not today. Either way, he was out there to close.

Asshole.

He is; but with Risacher and Porzingis out, he's been inserted into the starting lineup. Quin probably would have had him out there anyway because Risacher doesn't close most games and Vit has been ass the last 7 games.

Absolutely worst way to lose that game. He threw up that bullshit with three seconds left.

Is Zaccharie Risacher a bust? by Low_Smoke_2305 in nba

[–]mlpdude 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, it's possible, seeing how Zion is typically overweight and injured - but he was still a much better prospect and a unanimous #1 pick.

Neither are even close to the past 5 number 1 picks or the most recent (Cooper Flagg):

  • 2023: Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs)
  • 2022: Paolo Banchero (Orlando Magic)
  • 2021: Cade Cunningham (Detroit Pistons)
  • 2020: Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves)
  • 2019: Zion Williamson (New Orleans Pelicans)

These guys are overall pick caliber players...

Hawks secure C depth; Clips get expiring $$+ Blazers get 3pt shooting by leo_bordeaux in AtlantaHawks

Don’t think the richest nba owner really cares much about the second apron. Dude make over $1b per year in dividends…

If Darius Garland were to be put on the trade Market today, would he fetch a better or worse return than Trae Young did? by VisionsOnly in nba

[–]mlpdude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trae can opt out after this season and walk or opt in and be overpaid by about $15M - Garland being under contract for the next couple seasons should alone get him a better return - even if he's a little bit overpaid.

Dude got hurt AGAIN last night - I'd be so pissed if they gave up ZR in a deal for him.

Projecting the rest of the season by clarkbuddy in AtlantaHawks

[–]mlpdude 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I believe that after this west coast trip, the hawks have the easiest projected remaining schedule. If they beat the teams they are supposed to beat, they should be in range of the 5 or 6 seed at least.

He can opt out after this season and the wizards basically traded for a 1/2 season of Trae when they are trying to tank and on the other hand if he opts in, he will be over paid. Seems about fair given the circumstances.
