Re:  Durant musings

Are these folks nuts?

Robert Williams, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and there number ones?

Wow.

By the say I would rather Durant playing with Brown than with Tatum.

Grimes
« Reply #24151 on: July 04, 2022, 03:54:14 PM »

Tucker or Grimes?

Do I prefer Grimes?

Gee, I don't know.

A 6'5" NBA body.  Committed, physical defender.  Three point range, still working on consistency, but capable streaky unconsciousness.   Can get to the rack and finish, needs to do so more often, so defenders don't lock into his catch and shoot opportunities. .
Why are we even having this discussion?

Oh thats right.  Kiid Coulter is an unabashed Tucker enthusiast, but he understands my preference.

Mmmmm

Kid is an idiot who does not understand basketball or life really at all.

There will be an extra premiums for Eastern Conference teams trying to get Durant.

Look at the Suns and Pels and possibly Denver though they are not talked about much as most likely landing spots.

Of course you would rather.

Your dislike for Tatum is well documented.

If Fournier can get himself in the kind of shape Doug McBuckets did in Indiana, I will give him a fresh chance to be a top seven guy for us without dragging down the team. He is a bit older so it will be tough for him. We shall see.

No - as I alluded to I figured your "preference" was due to salary.

So you like that offer from Celts' perspective?

You would have

Al Kornet
KG Gallo
Tatum Williams
White
Brogdon Prichard

I think the Nets would want more picks given the talent returned, possibly more swap options.

Lets assume that Kyrie and Westbrook happen as close to straight up

Nets wind up with

RW Claxton Sharpe
Simmons ONeal
Brown Harris
Curry Thomas
Westbrook Smart Carter

I do not see them loving that in Brooklyn all that much.

Randle and Fournier for Hayward and Oubre. It works as a legal trade and I think it helps both teams.

My preference is that you would take a remedial reading course. 

Don't put YOUR words, in MY mouth, Lady Coulter. 

You precipitated this nonsensical either/or. 

My preference would be for Grimes, based on his talent and his fit, his offense and his defense, an NBA Body and a serious work ethic.

Sigh

Rhymes with WHY? 

A PF and a Wing for two wings, one a certifiable 31 year old walking injury waiting to fucking happen.  In the past three seasons, GH, his on court talent notwithstanding, has only been ambulatory for 52, 44 and 49 games, and who is due $30-31 million over the next two years.  ARE YOU SHITTING ME?   

You gonna slot in Hayward and Oubre ahead of RJ and Cam?  You rate Oubre as an upgrade over Fournier?  That's rich.

Why as in WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD would you trade for Hayward?  How the FUCK does Hayward help us.  Because we've come up short on the Perennially IR List with Kemba and Nerlens gone from the womb?  And your preference for Oubre over Fournier? 



I love you man, but Dear God DUDE, give it a rest. 

POSTSCRIPT:  In addition to the sheer lameness of this construct, and the redundancy it suggests, besides bailing out Charlotte for a very questionable signing that has not panned, vis a vis THE KNIKCS, Hayward's KARMA is truly shitty.  Utah aquired the #1 they used to select Hayward from the Phoenix Suns, as payback for eating a bad contract [a PF whose name escapes me, who'd been quite good in his day, but had gotten a big contract late in the game, and was not up to it]. The Suns?  They'd gotten the #1 pick from a team famous for eating its young, making trades that blew up in their face, and going all in on shiny objects.  As I recall, it was the second and final of the two #1 picks that the Suns had aquired in the transaction which sent Stephon Marbury to the KNICKS.  Yikes.

Hayward managed fifty games last year. Oubre and Hayward are both better than Fournier in every respect. Randle is arguably the best player in the deal though some perceive him as more the expensive head case than effective team player. Randle keeps the Hohos on track after losing Bridges. Jordan does not like to tank. I would hope we would get draft capital in this, but even leaving that aside it leaves us in good shape

Mitch Hartenstein Sims
Obi Gordy Taj
Reddish Oubre
RJ Grimes Keels
Brunson IQ Rose McBride

It sets us up better to spread the floor and serve the youth than our present setup and it really helps our cap situation two and three years down the line.
