Trading our pick at #6

[Idog1976]

SAC is hellbent on making the playoffs or play-in but they're so far away.

How about...

Bledsoe + Keon + 36 for Barnes.
our pick + TPE for Sabonis.

Dame/Ant/Barnes/Sabonis/Nurk

with Hart/Nas/etc off the bench

(Sabonis has shockingly decent defensive metrics)

Oh yeah I would do that in a heartbeat what?

Not sure that’s a good fit for Brooklyn

Think of Kyrie as CJ on steroids. Also, the Poole-Curry Warriors are bringing smallball roaring back.

 

[illmatic99]

You left out the scenarios where we jump up to top 4.

i did not. ~10% shot

 

[Cugel]

Going after Sabonis is appealing.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Out of curiosity, what metric do you use to evaluate defense? I've never found one I think is all that compelling.

For me it’s eye test. Sorry I can’t offer more insight.

I sorta like real plus/minus?

It’s why Dame and Ant won’t work. Both have a negative drpm. It’s ABSOLUTELY not the end all be all defensive stat though

The numbers don't look right and yes I missed it because of it's strange placement order wise.

Don't we have a 48% total chance of being 6th or better? When I sum all the numbers in the row I get 100% or close to it. You seem to see 1-4 as 10% total chance to move up there is a 10% chance for each one with our overall chances of being 1-4th or 6th at 48% otherwise the numbers don't make sense?

You will note if you sum your numbers you're about 30-40% shy of 100% I believe that's because you reduced 1-4 to a less than 10% chance total.

If the Lakers blew it up, I'd gladly trade that pick and a package of players for AD, even with his injury history.

I was just reading an article that said the Lakers STILL are hoping they can fix their roster by trading Westbrook, THT and Nunn and are hoping not to have to give up any draft picks.

I meant the 1, 2, 4, 6 EACH as 10%. Thought i had it clear.

 

[Tince]

Maybe someone will want out?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Maybe someone will want out?

Nurk S&T, Bledsoe, #6 for KAT?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Nurk S&T, Bledsoe, #6 for KAT?

I THOUGHT WE. WANTED DEFENSE?

 

[oldmangrouch]

I THOUGHT WE. WANTED DEFENSE?

We do - but that alone isn't reason enough to trade Dame.

 

[blazerfan11]

I want Karl Anthony Towns. Salary - wise what would be required?

He will make $33.8 million next season.

 

[blazerfan11]

I THOUGHT WE. WANTED DEFENSE?

Towns is capable of playing better defense than Nurkic.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Towns is capable of playing better defense than Nurkic.

 

[Predator]

LOL

why would you trade for KAT

Any KAT trades should be fucking thrown in the garbage and lit on fire

then promptly banned

 

[Predator]

I meant the 1, 2, 4, 6 EACH as 10%. Thought i had it clear.

Using that logic our most likely pick would be in the top 4 since you’re looking at 40% vs 30%…

 

[BigGameDamian]

Going after Sabonis is appealing.

It is but what would we do with Nurkic?

 

[Mediocre Man]

We do - but that alone isn't reason enough to trade Dame.

I was talking about KAT

 

[Mediocre Man]

Towns is capable of playing better defense than Nurkic.

Is this like saying Dame is capable of playing better defense than Chris Paul?

 

[Mediocre Man]

It’s not a difficult formula

Trivia time

6-3
5-9
2-7
3-2
4-9

what do those numbers represent?

Is this your way of saying I should skip open mic night at the comedy club?

 

[blazerfan11]

Move Karl-Anthony Towns to power forward for the Trail Blazers. Keep Nurkic.

 

[blazerfan11]

Move Towns to power forward.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I would just say it. As a friend, it’s over

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Maybe someone will want out?

You mean KAT. And why would we want him? Soft as shite.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Move Karl-Anthony Towns to power forward for the Trail Blazers. Keep Nurkic.

That would work great! Oh wait a minute, I forgot it isn't the early 90s. Never mind.
