People that think Booker would be a 3rd option on a championship caliber team or would trade him in a package with Doncic are OUT OF THEIR MINDS. He can erupt and take over in a game better than any player in the league. He took a close game with Dallas and made it a blow out by the end in a span of 8 minutes. And it wasn't because of his defense, or lack thereof. The insanity around here sometimes is mind boggling with undervaluing Booker.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Hell, I've seen "experts" say that Booker's perfect ceiling role is a 6th man on a championship team. It's ridiculous, imo.

Doncic won’t ever lead a team. He’ll be a great complementary player to a teams star. Booker is that team star. No comparison.
That's quite the take.

If your team is so stacked that it makes sense to bring Booker off the bench, that would be pretty perfect. But in that case the championship you’re chasing probably doesn’t get you the Larry O’Brien trophy, it gets you the Gold Medal.

First I saw Zach tweet about it during the game when Book was going off that he wonders what the Booker haters gonna say and then here he was back on the topic again 8-) . Chauncey and T-Mac seemed quite baffled by the whole thing also

[youtube][/youtube]

The YouTube tag on this site doesn’t like the t= parameter. Strip it and and you can embed the video, but you lose the ability to make it start at a particular point.

And since it doesn’t start at your desired point, you just tell everybody where to FF to. (In this case, the 1:12 mark.)

But honestly, it's better to watch the whole thing as the first part was about Booker and how good he is. And they all scoffed at analytic dudes who don't think that Devin Booker is good.

Wouldn't trade Booker/Ayton but I would consider dealing Jackson for Doncic. Doncic would thrive more in Kokoskov's system than Jackson will, just my opinion.

I don’t even think that’s debatable. There’s no way Dallas would ever agree to that.

Jackson for Doncic? Heck yeah. And the Mavs could go back to the glory days of stockpiling J’s. Winners all around.

Nobody's underestimating Booker. Just because I think Doncic has a good chance of ending up better than Booker doesn't mean that I don't think Booker's a good player and that I want to get rid of him.

Also, I'm not vying for the GM job, but that's a different discussion that I don't want to start right now.
