What's new

so we have alec burks and alec burks LITE(dante exum)

With the drafting of Exum this IMO means Hayward will play the 3....... Or he is gone through a S&T or just letting him walk.

Trey and Alec are starting THIS year. There is no question about it. Exum is a HUGE project. The guy is only 19 years old next month and needs a lot more experience. I know everyone is excited about him being the 5th pick and the think he should start.........Not going to happen. He needs more experience. He could for sure over take Trey. But right now he needs to develop.

Trey - Exum
Burks - Exum

Exum will be backing up both guard positions and playing plenty of minutes to develop. They will probably sign a back up PG veteran who is there just in case Exum gets in foul trouble.

But a combination of those 3 young players rotating together??? Bright future and this year will be fun to watch these guys rotate. Very quick front court.

If Exum isn't going to start (a move I can understand), then I'd rather see Patty Mills start.

If we are signing Patty Mills then we should trade Trey. Maybe a 3 team trade.....Sign and trade Hayward along with Trey to Boston. Send Rondo to a contender and we get a legit SF.

Houston??? Parsons and maybe someone else??

Trey gets to be with his lover
And Hayward gets to be with his coach. We get a legit SF in Parsons.
 
Mills is better now, but Burke is much further along at this point in his career. I'm hanging on to Burke. He's a focused player and will be an asset as a playmaker and a shooter.

If we were to send Trey and Hayward to Boston, I'd want Smart in return. But I like you general idea.

Ya I am afraid if the Celtics trade Rondo they would want more then Hayward. I don't think Boston would do it with Smart.
But I agree we should get more then just Parsons.
 
Exum (i know, as seen in video clips) has shown much better decision-making from the top of the key than Alec ever has (while being several years less experienced). Locke has pointed out numerous times that alec is only successful from the elbow in, because there he doesn't have to read the defense from both sides. Dante has shown much better vision and awareness, as is about as fast a 6'6'' guy could be (he might even be quicker than alec, who is also extremely quick off the first step).


Alec is a pure scorer, who can finish with contact, streak to the rim, break guys down in isolation, and live at the free throw line.

Dante, like Alec, can beat his man in isolation, but the biggest difference is he has shown the ability to distribute off of that penetration, not just blindly crash to the rim.


I for one, actually see them co-existing beautifully (at 1 and 2), as we would have surefire guys on both sides of the court that can beat their man off the bounce and get to the paint (which is seeming to become the #1 most important basis for NBA offense in today's game).


I'm really looking forward to it.
