He’s terrified of the paint & is a horrible defender. That’s not JB’s fault. Fire JB tho—he is definitely garbage regardless of our players struggling.

brownie man Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It’s just tough having a small backcourt and it really showed with no Allen id love a taller PG to go with Mitchell at the 2 somehow I hope we get a wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigben07MVP Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I’m not sure how the numbers work or if this is even possible but there’s two pretty straight forward moves I would make this offseason (assuming Mitchell re-signs and LeBron isn’t interested in a return) OKC receives: Jarrett Allen and LeVert BKN receives: Picks from OKC + CLE receives: Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson Then re-sign Okoro and bring in a 3rd big like Jonas Valancuinas. I think at this point Mitchell can “recruit” DG to stay and be his running mate. People say the DG/DM backcourt doesn’t work but stats tell a different story and they were really good together in 2022-2023. DG - Spida - Bridges - Cam Johnson - Mobley Bench: Strus, Okoro, CPJ, Merrill, Dean Wade, JV We may need to bring in a vet PG if you think CPJ isn’t ready for that role yet but overall I like this direction. If you want to play big and load up on defense you put JV in the lineup over Cam Johnson. And again I didn’t run this through a trade simulator or know if this is all possible or not.

Armbar Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 We are gonna trade DG for hopefully either a SG or SF with size who can get buckets, especially from range. Idk who that is, but I don’t really love Ingram. Or any “SF” under 6’6. If we get a SF, which would be ideal, we could then move Okoro to SG, where he would excel. The our offensive production could come from our new SF, Mitchell, and hopefully Mobley. Allen PnR’s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The our offensive production could come from our new SF, Mitchell, and hopefully Mobley. Allen PnR’s too. I don’t love Ingram mostly because of the contract (but also defense and effort concerns). He’s on an expiring deal and will be expecting to get a max extension. But in terms of player for player swaps, DG for Ingram makes some sense. Both are injury prone, high upside players coming off disappointing seasons/playoffs. Now in a vacuum I would rather have DG but Ingram makes sense for us as a wing who can get his own shot. Would much rather have Bridges though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brooks1957 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Agreed sdrawkcab321. I want to see a coach brought in from the outside that won't stand for us playing like pacifists. When we played the Knicks, and they ripped a necklace off one of our guys..... I would have laid that sumbeech out. Right quick and in a hurry too. Wagner in the playoffs after he took out Allen - he would have needed crutches to limp back to Florida. Nothing wrong with old school basketball. Sir Sean Connery said it best in The Untouchables - "They send one of ours to the hospital, we'll send one of theirs to the morgue....."

Armbar Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Rejoice and be glad. Not only is this what we all wanted, but there’s no way this gets cleared if our players didn’t in some way thumbs up the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of scoring and the terrible lineups we trotted out there are…but the lack of testosterone is on our guys. Hopefully a coach can light a fire, but I have a feeling guys like Allen and Mobley just are who they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s go Kyrie! For sure. The only teams I hate more are the Lakers and Warriors. And I only truly dislike the Celtics because Boston fans are the worst fans in American pro sports. I used to kind of like the Celtics as a kid until I realized Boston fans are the worst. Go Mavs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 I honestly think Boston could sweep Dallas. I don’t like the idea of Kyrie being hounded by Jrue Holiday. Luka is not going to out score Brown and Tatum combined in that scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
