I think the FO believes that moving Ju (for what he can most likely get back) is at most likely a floor raiser but lowers your team ceiling.
As opposed to keeping him around, hoping for good Ju,( living with his warts, and hoping to be able to utilize other assets to acquire the next big piece is a more feasible path to leveling up.
Update. Upon rewind, RJ 1000% said what we think he said.
…did I mishear RJ there?
Join me brethren, in a resounding rejection of this starting lineup theme.
MSG cut away bc they know what the deal is.
I understand he is a fan favorite
Sentimentiality doesnt get you wins, but impact metrics, connectability, latent impact and malleability do. Quick excels in each of those measures.
IQ could cost a premium.
Its true. BUT, he demonstrably has a premium level impact for us in his role, and (imo) has upward scalability for us and to any team. Im willing to pay invest in that.
If a team is selling this deadline he would be an interesting young piece.
Depends what the return is doesnt it ? Particularly when you have the trump card option ultimately to keep him ?
So many old-school gem players.
I know I saw hotrod Williams. Was that chuck person I seen too?
The Danny Ainge HC era…
Also, Chris Childs with the baldie was a bad man.
Finally, it’s nuts how I’m conditioned to expect a video review. A little jarring when it didn’t happen.
Step 1: Be an offensive coordinator.
Step 2: ??? (Hackett’s system)
Step 3: Profit.
I get that this happens over 82, but I’m annoyed that we’re in this position tbh
There’s a tingling in my loins.
I remember the random guy telling us that saleh was at war with Hackett because Rob wanted the wildcat in the red zone.
Hackett big brained this battle, with an outright refusal to even make an appearance in the red zone.
Game, blouses.
I appreciate this post weekly.
You don’t see someone run through every rush attempt.
I keep saying every week the run games impotence is as problematic as anything on our offense.
Also, I’m not sure what folks saw in Mitchell beyond literally just hope. He’s been a big problem for both years— granted, the plan in both cases was not for him to play.
I’ve done about 2 full rewatches.
I wonder why Thibs is reluctant to lean into running offense (particularly 2nd unit) through iHart?
JH, Dante, RJ all willing/effective cutters. Obviously this shouldn’t be option 1, but it’s weird to me how we don’t look to really leverage his best offensive ability— especially on a team who can get so static in the half court.
I usually give Nania the benefit of the doubt.
I’ve been thinking been reacting to the games with more emotionality then expected. Not to tell him nor anyone how to fan, but my perception has always been that he aims to analyze pretty rigidly and objectively.
This year has maybe broken him.
He’s still nice with it tho fs.
So, OP speaks to the arod deal as though it is done fully in hindsight. Applying the same benefit to the darnold deal, I think there’s no question that deal was worse.
Iirc, the Sam price was #6 overall and three years worth of 2nds to move to #3. This was an unproven prospect, and the price was signifigantly more via draft capital.
Vs a 2 time MVP, at the cost of moving back 2 slots in the first and two 2nds.
If the a rod deal doesn’t work out, it looks to be a reasonable gamble even in retrospect. The Sam deal in hindsight isn’t a disaster, but it’s worse imo.
Good thing inbounding the ball is never a problem for us
hope I’m wrong, but I feel like #30 is about to check back in
At least 4 blown alley oop passes tn…
I think the trade up for darnold was worse. This isn’t even top 5 for the Jets.
What was the game earlier this year where full court pressure really hamstrung out offense?
I guess Spo saw.
Interesting how effective it is in short circuiting how we want to play
An alternate explanation someone floated explanation for the length of the migrane DNPs was that RJ was concusssd.
Idk if that’s right nor if it explains his play after returning, but I find myself rooting that way; him shooting civil war numbers is not what I’m trying to see without extenuating circumstances.
