Ehh that doesn’t make much sense. You’re going go be paying him over $25m/yr. You’re better off doing a sign-and-trade + assets for someone like Brown and starting Dame/Hart/Brown/_____/Nurkic. Then you’d only have to worry about one forward left.
That's assuming that Boston would be willing to swap Brown for Ant+filler. Sure it'd be better, but it takes two to tango.
Skinny, not athletic, no thank you. He's not gonna make it in the NBA at anything approaching an elite level. Did you have Giannis over CJ? I did. When I pay attention the one thing I get right often is the draft with the notable exception of Oden over Durant, but then I'm guessing you had that too, almost everyone did and props to those who correctly saw Durant. Oden's injuries were what I didn't understand until after the draft. Holmgren is slow, unathletic, and skinny. He's not like the skinny guys like Giannis or Durant who had otherworldly coordination and athleticism, plus in the case of Durant extreme skills. This guy will be MUCH closer to a rotation player than a DPOTY get outta here lmfao.
I guess we don't need a championship either.
AD has missed 1 playoff game out of 40 in his career. I'll take that.
And if he's Porzingis, that guy in on his 3rd team.
It makes no sense to me to hope Ant and Dame can play defense when we have Josh Hart. It would make sense if we didn't have Josh Hart, but we do have Josh Hart.
If I had a team that could offer big money, I certainly would try getting Simons. I'd offer him the max he could be paid. CJ is getting $30 million and he's 30 years old.
I will 100% take that bet that if Dame, Ant and Hart are on the roster next season, Dame and Simons will start. There is absolutely no way Ant will come off the bench.
THAT is a contender. AD is the big man that can block shots anywhere (among many other things) . He did that against the Blazers. AD has missed a lot of regular season games, but he's only missed 1 or 40 playoff games in his career. He played in every game when they won the championship. He's nearly 3 years younger than Dame and just a little more than one year older than Nurk.
In a normal S&T the team facilitating the deal with the player they have bird rights for doesn't get much but this would not be that. If a team has a RFA and informs the whole league that they'll match anything, then that's just like any other trade. Ant is ours just as much as Dame is. So we should get what is seen as equal value back in a S&T of Ant instead of a relatively small payment for facilitating.
With those players I would just keep Winslow at PF. He's doing a fantastic job of defending and being a facilitator on offense. "Hockey assists" from Simons to Winslow to player #3 are part of our offense now.
My question due to him not having NBA body right and maybe never will his durability in the league. Porzingis been major part of his career. Plus he also could turn out be Bol Bol too. To me there to many questions marks in that area to draft him.
But miss a whole a lot regular season though.
