The gap between Zion and Ja is pretty damn big if we're being honest though, Ja has some question marks in his game. Barrett can't shoot, I want no part of him.

It's clear as day that Anthony Davis wants to go to the Lakers. It's worth the risk, though. Agreed. Give it a shot and try to win a title. If Davis leaves, then they can blow it up by trading Lillard and get a clean cap sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're getting Kemba and a broken down Jimmy Butler. You are just shall shots from the last 45 years, but good luck will come your way one of these years and it's probably this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of the minority who basically think Ja and RJ are equal prospects. But both have serious flaws and aren't locks to even be good players.

They shot the same % from 3 (though Barrett did shoot more), but Morant's FT% was significantly better. Morant had a much higher TS% and eFG% as a freshman than Barrett.

He's not going to get set looks in the NBA when teams know that. His TS% was bad and he is an ABYSMAL FT shooter for a guy who's going to need to be able to hit at minimum 75% to be an effective scorer early on.

Silver&Black88 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Man, I hope Griffin does well for Zion's sakes. At least better than Demps did for AD. Definitely have some schadenfreude from afar for the Knicks (sorry to their fans though). Still could land Barrett and some good FAs with that cap space though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYK gets KD and Kyrie, draft RJ, who is a nice combo with Kyrie. Nothing definite, but a good chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing definite, but a good chance. Yeah I overreacted a bit when I read the news. I just enjoyed it not being Zion or Ja. But it isn't guaranteed they get those FAs. Certainly likely, but if they miss out on them somehow still? That would be a tough one. Still hypotheticals though. I guess the biggest detrement is it makes a Davis trade unlikely for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartica4Real Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) David Griffin, Zion, Jrue, soon we'll have one of Tatum/Grizz pick+ from the Celts, Morant or Barrett/Robinson+ from the Knicks, or Ingram/#4+ from the Lakers. I went from having no faith in the future of this franchise to psyched as all hell pretty fast. Someone pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming. Hopefully Griff doesn't screw up Zion like Dell did AD. I got faith, the man knows what he's doing. And Gayle Benson is a great owner. Things are on the up.
