I made a thread about having a conversation. I was playing devil's advocate. I never said we absolutely should trade Gobert.Didn't you just make a thread like yesterday about trading our best player? Now you're lecturing people about not turning on players.
Luka is on a fast track to be a top 3 player in the league. He's looking pretty fantastic right now.Luka will be an allstar this year before Donovan will be
Yes very obvious choice, one provides a unique skill and is two time DP of the year, the other low efficiency volume scoring which ain’t hard to find. I’d keep both, but one needs to learn to share his toys.I made a thread about having a conversation. I was playing devil's advocate. I never said we absolutely should trade Gobert.
But for the record, anybody jumping on the Gobert bandwagon at the expense of Mitchell is an idiot. It's like that group of fans didn't watch the playoffs at all as Capella torched Gobert the last couple years while Mitchell singlehandedly tried to keep us relevant in those games.
Great coaching and elite teams torch what we believe to be our great defense. This year, our defense isn't that great at all even with the best rim protector in the game. Gobert makes us a good team but he is the 5th best offensive player on a contender. Offensively, teams have figured us out. Defensively, it's a lot of the same too.
We all want to win a title. If we are going to get there, it has to be with a dynamic offensive talent like Mitchell emerging. I think we can do it with both here, but if there is a choice, it's an obvious one.

Its probably not that far off. I don't remember Iverson leading his team to a playoff series win as a rookie. Iverson won 53 games total his first two seasons.Ha,

Mutombo was 34 and 35 during his Philly years. And I would say Mutombo didn’t have anywhere close to the same kind of defensive (or offensive) impact at the time.Great idea. Trade Iverson so we can cater to Mutombo. Brilliant.

I think the issue is that per possession, his assists are down 15%. True that his FGs aren’t much higher, but the idea is that last year there was absolutely nobody for him to pass to. Currently we have another 20 ppg guy, as well as another guy who scored 20+ last year. The idea wasn’t for him to continue at the same volume and have his assists drop.There’s about 10 or more posts talking about how Donovan doesn’t pass and is selfish. He has basically the exact same assist rate as his previous two years where no one had a single issue with it. He’s actually rebounding better this year, shooting 3s better. His efficiency is up even after a few bad games.
If you’ve heard any of Locke’s recent pieces, the starters together have actually been quite good. It’s just the second any of them come out of the game the team death spirals.
We held Houston to their 3 straight worst offensive game since they traded Melo. Lol, Okay my ***
This. If we had average offensive abilities, or any ability to hit wide open shots, we may have defeated them, and nobody would be talking about Gobert as a playoff liability. But since the offense sucked, here we are.We held Houston to their 3 straight worst offensive game since they traded Melo. Lol, Okay my ***
Im on board with Morris now that see what our chemistry is. Totally on board.Was watching some of the knicks stuff today and apparently it was Morris who called the players only meeting to tell the guys they needed to play harder... it was pre-firing so he said they needed to play for coach. Kinda made me feel better about him. Honestly any expiring contract for Dante is a good deal for us... if it comes with Morris I think 99% of the board would jump on it... chemistry is already garbage. Why not?
LolIf we win the next seven in a row, we are 19-10 which is still just 54 win pace.
