Kelly Olynyk Hype & Appreciation Thread

This guy's a sleeping giant. He averaged 19 points, 8.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 39.2% 3pt just a couple of years ago.

He only averaged that in the 27 games he played for Houston. He averaged 13.5, 7 and 3 on the year (2020-21), all career bests.
 
But guess who wants him back?
A Kelly Olynyk Reunion With The Miami Heat? Maybe we still end up with Herro or more likely a pick before this thing is done.
Read between the lines of what you’re saying. You’re saying this deal sucks. And I wouldn’t rationalize it with the idea that we’re going to obtain what we wanted in a two-step process. I know it’s somewhat paradoxical because someone was dumb enough to give up Bogdanovic for Olynyk, but nobody is giving up a pick for Olynyk, unless it’s attaching Robinson’s salary which, by all accounts, is the supposed reason why we didn’t take the pick offers for Bojan.

So we’re right back where we started then is what you’re saying (regarding Robinson). Robinson and his contract are not nearly as bad as what people make it out to be and things change overnight in the NBA. We might just discover that we’re better than we thought and ready to get out of tank mode sooner than later and he could be that piece for us after Olynyk has served his purpose.

On the face of it, I agree with you that it seems we got shortchanged on this one. But when you look at it holistically, where is Bogey going to play when Markkanen and Fontechio are coming in hot from Eurobasket and need the minutes? AND we get further under the tax. Whereas with Olynyk we get this coach’s son playmaking savant that can help our bigs and more importantly, help our culture.
 
I think we are all in basic agreement it sucks we couldnt get any future assets out of Bogey, but KO is a good player.

I'm excited to watch him this year. He will help the team play better basketball and he will encourage great ball movement. He's going to be the best big man passer we've had since Boris Diaw. He's got great defensive fundamentals and team defense and could be a good mentor for a Lauri Markkanen. He's going to be a fan favorite and my hot take is that we don't even waive him next year unless it' includes re-signing him to a longer term deal.
 
i cannot cheer for Olynyk. He's the ugliest mofo to ever play NBA HIs stupid little beard needs to get ripped off his ugly face. He looks like an early Mormon pioneer so prob fitting he's in SLC but my goodness

You love his whispy hipster look and im sure you'd drop your strides and present yourself to him at the first opportunity. Such is your love for useless, pale, kale eating arseholes

I on the other hand despise this ************, and hope he gets beaten to death with an 18 inch black rubber dildo.
