Stans are going to be stans. After every good game they will come preaching he is the second coming of Jesus (the best guard in the West sounds like it).

They will tell Dlo won 1 game against the Warriors and 1 game against Memphis. They will not tell you Lonnie won us 1 game last playoffs. When they bring game 6 against the Warriors, but they will not tell you we lost game 4 with him scoring 4 points and delivering the same 3 assists he was able to average against Denver. They will talk about game 6 against Denver, but they will never mention game 2 when he scored 5 pts and dished 4 assists.

Stans only see the good things a player is able to do, they will never see the games we lost because this player was terrible and will tell you are a hater for bringing this kind of information. Dlo stans can only accept he had a bad series against Denver, everything else is great for them, including the uncontested fact he is better than Stephen Curry at everything but shooting LMAO.

I believe the main problem is hiding him on defense when he isn’t a 35 ppg commodity most nights. You do it for your superstars, not for a player that can give you 35, but can also give you 6 pts any given night.

I’d like him better as backup since the only consistent aspect of his game is his bad defense.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Reaves because he makes all the little things and didn’t complain when he got benched because I’m a believer that is the best role for 1 dimensional players.

Of course he can, Dlo just had a superb game.

His lack of defense and consistency makes him a weak spot when we think about fighting for a title, but he is surely a starting quality PG, just not for a title contender. He would be great in Detroit.

You are absolutely right about the fact we are going to get better when we get our guys. It is also a fact this is the same core that got swept in the WCF with minor adjustments so the reality is probably something in between those 2 extremes where we have to trade everybody after a loss to a top team and we are real championship contenders after beating the worst team in the league.

I’d say, look at what didn’t work against Denver and start making the required adjustments at the trade deadline IF (big) a better option is available.

Is this from the 76ers game?

Because we are not facing Detroit in playoffs.

Our project PG can’t throw a lob pass either lol.

I like Fino’s activity on both sides of the floor, he has elite size for the position.

Detroit does wonders for our PG, even Fino is looking like a stud

With all due respect to his manhood, I always thought he plays like a WNBA girl.

I like it.

I’d prefer Haliburton and Turner.

I like to think about it this way, if you are proposing a trade that is unlikely, at least go after the big fish.

he is clearly coasting this season

Exactly.

Lamelo one day maybe since his dad was adamant to have his kids playing for us, he is someone that can force it, the other guys aren’t even pipe.

I don’t think Lavine solves our problem at all. We need a big who’s hungry for playing time and a rim protector not Christian

You don’t have to fix all of your problems with 1 move.

We solve the Dlo problem first and look for the big in another deal.

It is valid just for teams/players performing well, you trade the bad pieces keeping those guys that produced and I’m talking about producing when it matters.

I completely agree.

This is great because it raises his trade value.

I’ll not tell it ever again if for some disgraceful fate we have to watch him play another playoff game for this team and we win the title with D’Angelo Russell as starting PG. Until this day all I can say for stans is 6 points and 3 assists player.

Don’t you think it makes no sense comparing a player under a long term contract that is ready to be traded to other that is earning half of his previous salary and is fighting for a better deal next season?

Look at the best seasons of Lavine and DLo and what they have done in playoffs. Lavine is a slight better defender, most consistent shooter, can attack the basket, can create for himself and is going to have a ton of open looks playing alongside LeBron someone with superior court vision and Davis a player that is getting double teamed often.

The cost may be high throwing Rui, Vando or Reaves, but if we could find a way to get Caruso back that may become interesting.

Lavine is a lot better than Dlo and is less of a playoff chocker. The problem are the other players we need to send to match salaries.

If Lavar forces the hand to have his other kid playing for us he is someone I’d attach the players needed to match salaries, but giving Rui, Reaves or Vando, 3 players that performed well in playoffs when it matter for LaVine isn’t very appealing.

Trading Dlo for Lavine is a nobrainer, the problem is what we need to attach to make it work.

I’d love to replace Dlo for Luka, Haliburton or Lamelo Ball, but I don’t think they would be available for Dlo and fillers.

Max has the tools, he lacks the experience.

I miss Dennis too, but I look at him as a great backup, not a starter.

Well, if you ask me if turner and Hali are perfect fits I’d say they are close.

If you ask me if I’m serious about getting them with Dlo and Hayes I’d say, are you really asking me if it is serious?
