2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[LoPo]

Or the Spurs, or MJ, or or or. It is generally a correct statement that teams with experienced stars win championships. GSW is unusual for having started winning when their stars were in their mid twenties.

He said most teams don't win titles until their stars are in their early 30's. The Spurs were led by mid-20's Duncan and they weren't title contenders until they got him. The Bulls won their first three peat with MJ and Pippen in their late 20's. MJ was 28, 29 and 30 when they won their 1st three peat.

So no - most teams don't win titles until their stars are in their early 30's. Can a team win a title with their stars being in their early 30's? Absolutely. But most of those teams show championship pedigree before they hit their 30's.

I never said cut anybody. Can you read or just troll?

I said that we rely on an older roster too much and we need to find a player or two before the deadline to help take some weight off of them. Damn man, you just like to be a pain don't you?

Read the bolded sentence above Cy. Stop being Cy. Be better.

Yes, that's why I said it seems like your saying, not explicitly saying it. Do you understand? I was reading in between the lines.

I have never, ever questioned the age of Gobert and Mitchell. So you saying I was talking about dumping them is foolish regardless of trying to read between the lines. I have said for a while that I think we rely too much on older players who have never produced at a championship level. Most importantly, our contention window is right now because of the age and contracts of some of our key guys. Playing Rubio and Ingles 30+ minutes per night is not working and will only hurt us as we approach the postseason. We are already playing Crowder 27 minutes per night which about his max in my opinion. Korver is playing over 18 already.

I think we need to do what we can before the trade deadline to at least get another quality rotation player.

Break that down for me. Name some teams that won titles after their best players turned 30. Miami? Nope. Cleveland? Kyrie and Love nope. Golden State? Nope. San Antonio? Nope. What are you babbling about Cy?

What this tells me is that you don’t win until you have a superstar, ie top five player that is at least 27, that’s when jordan won his first and when Pippen was ready. Same with Lebron, 27.

If we count Rudy borderline superstar (I saw somewhere that he is 7th best player this season), it won’t matter much until Donovan is ready, and might not be ready until Rudy is 30+.

Watching NBA countdown, and they just talked about how there are very few teams in either league that is out of contention and there could be a lot more buyers then sellers, could be tough to make any significant buys

The Mavs are interested in Otto Porter. >:-/

He's ours, damnit!

If we get OP Jr we lock ourselves in, with Donovan to be paid soon. I don't think OP Jr moves the needle that much.

I really like Porter, but I'm not sure he's that much of a massive upgrade over Favors considering his contract, his ceiling and his current nagging injuries.

 

[cowhide]

The guy I want on Washington is Beal but now that he is the main guy that isn't going to happen. Ok it never was going to happen. Still I like his game.

We can outbid unless they through Dennis Smith into the deal.

Salary wise we do but that’s gonna happen either way... running out of runway. We still need a pick or two to hit or to land a cheap free agent that outperforms his deal.

I’m not saying I’d do it for sure but just for expiring salary I don’t know that we do better. I love Harris and Middleton but they getting full 32M+ max for at least 4 years... I’m not sure those contracts are way better values than OPs deal. Outside of KD there is no single FA that puts us over the top. We need a big addition and some other stuff to go our way.
