I would take MitchRob, his problem is not really offense or defense, it’s availability… Stewart is also nice and he’s certainly not undersized at the 4, he’s just not a good enough shooter quite yet I think and losing Grayson Allen will definitely sting.

I think we’ll know a lot more come January…. Hard to know who is even available right now.

That’s really impressive…I only got 29/54…jersey numbers aren’t a thing I pay much attention to apparently. Though I missed some obvious ones I should’ve known(Danny Manning 15, PJ Tucker 17, Hill/Adams 33)

Nurk + Allen for Kessler. Ainge has to say yes, it's two white boys for one! The Utah special.pickle wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2024 6:43 pmI know it's early in the season but I kind of want to talk about realistic things we can do to add depth to the 4/5 rotation. Having two out of three games against the Lakers will do that to you.
Remind me, WW, what you feel about Walker Kessler?
Just kidding. I don't think Kessler is a realistic target, as he's young, on a cost-controlled contract, and we'd have to deal with Trader Danny.
What are some realistic options at the five, if we are to move Nurk? Is there any chance we can get guys like Capela or Valanciunis? Do we even want to? In general I don't think it's realistic to trade for younger players, as the other teams will have absolutely zero incentive to help us. Split mentioned Zubac after the season, I would love to get his more rounded play in here, and it'd be an added bonus as he was drafted by the Lakers and dumped for Muscala and that trade has been a sore spot for Laker fans... but why would the Clippers do it?

I’m not a Walker Kessler fan…he’s also a very limited offensive player. Yes he’ll finish better at the rim, but that’s all he can do. He’s a worse ft shooter, has no post game, no semblance of a shot anywhere, and has no playmaking skills. He’s a better rim protector than Nurk and is a good rebounder. It’s just not enough for me to give up a 1st for, which is what it would take.

I don't think you said that right Shel. Unless you really wanted me to watch it.
And what do I care what a bunch of young punks say? Actually, Okogie was the wisest beyond his years. Thanks, Josh. I'm not old by his definition.

I'm very skeptical there is a Nurkic trade that is possible and makes sense. Rather than complain about the situation, I've learned to accept that. Nurkic has his faults for sure, but at times he is also very effective. The team would be lost without his rebounding. and I think his defense (on other than AD) is acceptable.

There are a few bad matchups out there for Nurk, so you accept those and deal with them. The other games, he's acceptable. We'll see how things go through the season, but it's hard to find a good trade where you improve the team with their limitations with personal and contracts.

Who would you rather have, Nurkic or Steven Adams?

Remember the pundit that said we had horrible defense?

I don't like Steven Adams for this team and am not big on him these days. He's super limited offensively, can't shoot, and not as athletic as he used to be. He's an awful FT shooter. And he's had bad injuries and trouble staying on the court. If some of these limitations were gone I'd like him, but then, he probably wouldn't be available if he didn't have such limitations.

Is 2019 Aron Baynes available?

Why would we want a guy who turns back into a pumpkin come January?

Is 1976 Alvan Adams available? 1987 Larry Nance? 2005 Amare Stoudemire?
Somebody athletic with some size who can play on both ends would be great (Nance would be a terror in the modern NBA)

16 and 19 almost got me, but once I got past those I was good up to 26 and 27 (the first two that I couldn't think of anyone for). I also got stumped by 46, 47, 51, 52 and 98.Split T wrote: ↑Tue Oct 29, 2024 9:23 pmThat’s really impressive…I only got 29/54…jersey numbers aren’t a thing I pay much attention to apparently.
