shut and listen to the people that study basketball. Your podcasters get direction from their producers on what to say because xyz is trending, they don’t know basketball. If they did they would go against the grain.Last edited by grindhouse; Wed Oct 13, 2021, 11:10 PM.

I been humble with my wins over the pass few years. But when the curtain calls on OG I will brag about it.
I am starting to learn my lesson when u get your victories like trade derozan 5 years before he is traded you should shove it down people’s throats so they never forget it.
fuck being humble Jalen Suggs I was the only one that said don’t draft him, don’t ever forget it. New day!
I wasn't big on him myself. I just simply thought they would either move up some how some way. I never really sold myself on him.
I was big on Mobley and Kuminga.
Either way my feelings were if you get into the top 10 as a team like we are.... then you are too good to tank repeatedly so you may as well swing for the fences and pick the guy you think is going to be good.. obviously you don't want a bruno project but that isn't what you have available at a top 10 pick level. You have usually at worse a blue chip prospect who will be serviceable. If you pick and you swing like we did then you get something that looks a bit more special. Scottie was the correct pick although Mobley would have been VERY nice on this team as would Kuminga.Last edited by TrueTorontoFan; Wed Oct 13, 2021, 11:25 PM.

Maybe you think you know your basketball. I give you that. But you obviously don't understand how front office operates.
Trades are about timing more so then the act itself.
Nobody is calling OG untouchable.
But your OG for Myles Turner trade is ass.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Look, I wanted DeMar traded earlier too but we were wrong. No return would have been as beneficial as the one Masai got. Really, really weird thing to want to brag about, half the fanbase knew DeMar wasn't that good and the franchise timed his departure perfectly.

Most of Y’all talking crap are children to basketball. Stat after stat after stat to push home a point that is meaningless to championship team building. A real fan wants to see the team win not xyz player put up meaningless stats.

You had a bad take on OG a player that has done nothing but add to his game every off-season. He's clearly done the same this year, working on more moves to create separation. You're quick to call out your victories (I haven't seen any), but when OG makes a big leap again this year and is our best player, will you be as quick to admit as such? I doubt it...

LOL, yeah, we'd have been much better off if we didn't have DeMar here to trade for Kawhi, right?

Yeah, seriously, if demar had been moved earlier there likely was no championship. Probably could have moved him and tried the tank for wiggins scenario, and many fans supported that option...that would have turned out poorly obviously. Weird point he is trying to make considering many wanted Demar traded, and ultimately when it happened...they go and become champions.
That is what I wanted before the Kawhi trade happened because I thought Luka would be good.

Here is a question for you though. Would you have been willing to Jakob, Derozan and additional picks in the future to have obtained Luka?

Thats what the Sixers are doing with Simmons, they could have caved and traded him for a low ball offer, they're waiting whether Simmons shows up to the team or not.
Thats also pretty much how Masai rolls. He traded Melo to the Knicks and the Nuggets still remained competitive and were a good team. He traded Derozan, Raptors got a superstar and won a championship.

Thats why you never trade just because you think a player isn't a good fit. You wait for a trade that is good enough, and no OG for Turner isn't it.
