What's new

2023 NBA Free Agency Thread

Bruh, that's the role you play on this board.....a guy that looks around and sees who needs to get going and who hasn't been replied to.
You don’t know **** about ball boy, take a coffee break. And by coffee break I mean bring me my coffee.
 
No one is really discussing how the new CBA is going to change things but the league and how teams build rosters is going to be drastically different.
It's really going to level the playing field and team that could manage their finances could end up getting quality talents from team trying to get under the luxury tax.
 
It doesn't really matter to me if Sexton utilizes the spacing to create his own scoring opportunities as long as he's efficient, he was very efficient last year. What's most important is that he's able to utilize the spacing to break down the defense, doesn't matter too much if it ends up in a pass to a teammate or a bucket for himself.
Ya honestly if he averages 1 assist per game or 10 doesn't really matter if we are outscoring our opponents while he is on the floor and we are winning games. From what i remember last year season, our team played quite well when sexton was starting. That is what is important.
 
I don’t think it’s oversimplifying to say that there are more ways to create opportunities for Lauri. I actually think it’s too simplistic to put too much weight on the floor general stuff. The organization/floor general stuff does matter….but so does the ability to put pressure on the defense. The other benefit of Lauri besides Lauri is his gravity, and having someone who can take advantage of that is important.

Even for a guy like Morris, his threat as a scorer matters. If he was a Ben Simmons level shooter and not an elite mid range guy it would make life a lot harder for him and his teammates.

Sexton definitely has a lot to improve as a passer and playmaker. I think his overdribbling is probably a bigger issue than his passing ability tbh. But his ability to put pressure on the defense was really good and IMO it’s the most important thing to have next to a guy like Lauri.

I don’t stress too much about positions and could not care less about the labels. Sexton+Lauri is a good combo and potential great if Sexton can make some improvements.
I think the problem with sexton right now is his double hamstring and I’m guessing that’s why they put him on the trade block. Probably also the reason why we drafted 2 SGs as clarkson is likely to opt out. If he’s gonna miss time then he’ll miss growth. Pointless to keep this going.
