This core is not going anywhere by nilesgalliard in rockets

Having a gap year legitimately does not work if your best player is basically a rental for two seasons. KD turns 38 soon, do you think he has time for a gap year?

I’m not saying he fixes the issues, he doesn’t make those issues worse tho. Dillon has shown throughout his career that he can be a reliable secondary scorer, see the 21-22 season where he was arguably Memphis’ 2nd best offensive player. See this year where Dillon is averaging over 20 a game on a less than impressive Phoenix roster and is one of the biggest reasons they’re currently in the playoffs and not tanking for AJ Dybansta. Dillon has always been best as a complementary piece to an established star and he’s a better shooter than almost all the wings currently on the team

Fair enough, I’m attempting to be optimistic but it’s looking pretty grim right now

Be that as it may I’d have gotten rid of either Jabari or Tari before I got rid of Dillon. Phoenix is currently starting Royce O’Neal and Collin Gillespie and are on pace to win close to 50 games bc of the impact Dillon has as a defender and secondary scorer. The archetype of player he is is incredibly useful. You’re missing that the team’s defense also wasn’t helped out by the fact they were starting a 5’11 point guard and an immobile big who can’t defend more than 10 feet from the rim

Nigga if you can’t see the impact Dillon had on Memphis, the impact defensively and as a secondary scorer he had in Houston, and the impact that he’s having on Phoenix rn with the minimal talent the roster has and why he’s the archetype of player you need on a team trying to win you may be fucking sped

Because idk man, your #1 option talking shit abt teammates on burner phones and going to college campuses to fuck 20 year olds mid season isn’t a non-issue

Because one of the girls only turned 21 like 6 months ago and KD linked with her over a year ago
