It depends on what else we do. If we do nothing else then it affects us for sure and the margins are pretty thin.
lmao. This is rich.
Funny thing is that I think I liked simone more than almost everyone who is so upset by the trade. I had been calling for him to get around 35 minutes per game for months.
I agree. Its rich to act like a 6 foot 9 guy who shoots 40% from 3 and plays good defense is an amazing prototype of a player and very hard to find but a 6 foot 9 one is garbage. Who also averaged a steal, 7 rebounds and 15.1 points.
I agree with you. My point isn't that it is a sure thing but there are guys who have made it, become starters and stars. There a book full of first rounders who busted too. Not as high percentage but still didn't become anything. The draft is a hit or miss chance that includes analyzing a player's potential and lots of luck. Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, John Stockton were passed over for guys who never made it.
Simone's value was spacing and defense. We have plenty of shooters, so that doesn't bother me. What this hinges on is either Hendricks finding his groove at the 4 enough for Lauri to work as a SF, or we have another deal. But I wouldn't overstate Simone's value on defense.
If you cant see the ridiculousness of comparing an unproven college prospect to a dude who was actually doing the thing.....
What the **** are you babbling about?
