His offense is terrible at times, he forces things and makes dumb plays. But he has always been a versatile defender and I think in our system he wouldn't force things as much. We all want an athletic versatile defender. There are going to have to be warts somewhere. There isn't a perfect two way player we can get.
That’s fair. I just think we will like the idea of Oubre more than the actual play of Oubre.
Yeah, it's hard to say. To be fair I think that's true of most players if not all. Grass is always greener...
I don't get it from Toronto's perspective. You say they could/want to be headed toward the playoffs, yet you have them trading someone I think they see as a solid role player for one of the least playable rookies in this draft class. Plus they give up a pick that may end up better better than the one Keon Johnson was picked with.
Jazz get my boy Watanabe. They get Ibaka too (salary matching reasons). He's probably washed, but maybe he could be effective in the playoffs. I would also include a top 20 protected pick from the Raptors that turns in a lottery protected pick the next year if it doesnt convey.
Raptors get Keon Johnson, the 21st overall pick from this year.
Clippers get Jordan Clarkson. They have one of the worst offenses among playoff teams in the NBA by offensive rating.
*And yes I included Banton, who they arent going to trade. It can be BOnga but ESPN wont let me include him yet*
I think they want to make the playoffs to get their young core experience in the playoffs. I dont think they care all that much about going far in the playoffs, so keeping role players might not be a huge priority to them vs obtaining talent.
Because they get this guy....
