Ok smarty pants. You're acting like there weren't a bunch of posts saying we should go after AD before that trade with ideas on how to get it done even though we all know it never was going to happen.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:What do you think we can send to the Lakers to acquire Anthony Davis?

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I'm just giving you a hard time. But I just don't see why one would spend one's valuable time theorizing about players we have no chance of acquiring. Why not talk about some of the players we have an actual plausible path toward getting?carey wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 11:00 amOk smarty pants.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Hmm. Wonder who wants Capela? I think he became underrated during this recent playoffs. I wouldn't mind having him here, though I'm not sure about the fit with Ayton. Capela provides great defense and helps make up for Ayton's shortcomings in that regard, but I am not sure you can play them together since neither can hit 3s effectively.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I'm just wondering who the Rockets are to going replace him with. I know the game has changed but Capela is still a guy most teams covet. I think it'd be a big mistake trading him to get Jimmy Butler.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I agree with that. It seems like the Rockets are learning the wrong lesson from their past two playoff losses. Yes, the league has gravitated toward 3-point shooting. But a team of 5 wings won't win a title. You do need some size, rebounding, and interior defense to win. Capela gives a lot of that to the Rockets. They seem to be undervaluing one of their most important players.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
Feels like Morey just doesn't get it sometimes, unless he's got some other tricks up his sleeve. A 24 yr old rim running, defensive big who's giving you 16/12/1.5 on league leading FG%? And even tho the West is more open next year they're still looking at Nurkic, Jokic, AD, (ahem) Ayton, and the rest.
Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I agree with you guys. It feels like he thinks he can get almost the same production from someone else at a fraction of the price, and therefore is going to put most of his money into the 1, 2, and 3 positions. "Finding a Capela is easy enough...there are 3-4 found in every draft at the end of the 1st round or even the second. And if that doesn't work, I can get a guy like Nerlens Noel on the cheap to do the same job."

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
I’ve never been a huge Capela guy. Honestly Nerlens is probably 80% of Capela. Jimmy is a star. The locker room fit might be interesting, but basketball wise I get it.

You just have to have the feeling that "reporters" are just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks. 90% of these rumors won't happen, and there will be deals that nobody saw coming.

Welcome, Cam. We drafted you because we love your shooting and you are ready to play. Meet Mikal, who we just traded up to draft last year. He'll be playing in front of you at SF. This is Kelly. We just signed him to a big contract. He will also be playing in front of you at SF. Say hello to Dario. We just traded a high pick for him. He will be starting at PF, and he's in a contract year, so you can expect him to get a ton of playing time. And here's PJ, a long time Suns fan favorite we just brought back. He will out rebound, out defend, and out hustle you, so you can expect him to get the remaining minutes at PF. Here's TJ Warren's phone number, you might want to call him to commiserate on being drafted here.

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
If we get Oubre back, the question is where is Cam going to get his minutes? Oubre would be our starting SF with Bridges being our SF off the bench. We don't think Cam will play at PF, right? So that would mean his minutes would have to be at SF and/or SG. Maybe the thinking will be that Bridges and Cam would be interchangeable at both the SG and SF positions.JCSunsfan wrote: ↑Fri Jun 28, 2019 4:58 pmI have seen him listed as a SG some places.In2ition wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 7:16 amIs it just because he's 6'9" that there is a belief that Cam will play PF?

Re: Around the League: The Off-season
We just have a lot more guys capable of playing backup SG than guys who can play backup PF. It's gotta be one of Oubre / Bridges / Cam.
