Get 2/3 of Ellis/Watson/Eason and we’re cooking.

Peyton Watson come to Utah. Perfect fit.

Risacher new PG. BKN has the real tank weapons in reserve. I know their fans are already going crazy about "tanking later".

DAL is going to trade AD to ATL for Porzingis and Risacher. Porzingis will be sent home to recover from his illness and Risacher will be sent back to France in an attempt to find his basketball skill and return next season. The NBA community will applaud the DAL for a great piece of business and...

Sure, but playing this season also goes a long way in terms of a team giving him that extension. DAL is not giving it to him, that’s for sure. So his best shot is another team and any team considering it would find it more appealing if they can have him for this year’s playoffs as well.

You also get the maximum bad PR. We’ve only really tanked hard one season, which is much less than the majority of “homegrown” teams, but we receive the PR as if we had been tanking hard this whole time. Then you add on the human element to this as well. Does it really feel any better that we...

Anthony Davis to be re-evaluated in 6 weeks. Just me speculating, but I think he wants to get traded and come back in time for playoffs. It makes sense to me, how many playoff runs does he have left in his career? He’s not really in a position to punt away seasons.

Utah state has been balling out this year and Mason Falslev has some interesting numbers. We draft him in the second round, he transfers to BYU for his senior season, then we sign him a year later?

And while Trae is not 1:1 to Key, I do think his value is relevant to Key's. There was a time where a player with Key's production would be consider a no questions asked, fun max. The environment is different now with the aprons and also how teams value defense. We'll need more data points to...

Wrt to Key being a small guard and clutch defender....I don't think it really matters how small you are. It's just a matter of being a good defender. Lowry and FVV were both tiny but also great defenders. I am not really a believer in the predictive power of clutch performance, but kudos for...

I think the "we can just tank later" is an all time dumb argument. Truthfully, I think people just want to enjoy wins and that's fine with me. But there's no way people actually believe in that as a sound strategy.

Yeah I'm truly surprised is mistook this thread for being about clutch play and the ability to close games when the entirety of the thread and discussion is about clutch stats and performance. My thoughts on clutch stats are that they don't have much predictive power in terms of winning playoff...

I think they tank for the guy that can carry them to wins in the other moments of game as well.

They're probably checking on trades to see if that route is viable....I think the worst option would be to make a move for the sake of making a move. If no good trade is out there, I think it kinda just makes it a bad choice but doubling down would be the very worst.

Here you go: The answer is "Yes" and the reasoning behind it is because their performance this season as whole is convincing enough to me. The thread is called "Could you win with Lauri and Key being your closers?" and the entire post is about clutch stats and performance. There is no argument...
