What are you talking about--hes better than Kanter or Willy today. We get KP and ok4 upfront--all we have to do is focus on building the perimeter--and I think ok4 can be a great big passer. Danny Ainge is like the NBA Bill Belechick--he gets guys and does deals that others dont and he wins at it. IF Philly wants a HIGH end asset--give them willy. RIP Crushalot😞

But I didn't forget the lackluster effort he gave, his lackluster rebounding considering he rarely ventures away from the paint, his lazy defensive effort (how many times did you see him point up court in transition to have someone pick up his man?), not to mention his overall apathetic attitude on the court. Comes across as a guy who thought he was "all that" and just had to show up and things would fall in place for him. I hope he's learning his lesson and has become humbled by this experience. If I were a GM and could get him for cheap I'd take a chance on him. Would I give up anything significant for him, heck no! |

Willy can't even crack our rotation because of defense, and now we want to add a guy whose offensive game looks like it is two decades old and makes Willy look like a defensive force? PASS

when noah comes back if we can get rid of kanter's contract, i'd be willing to take a flyer. unless of course he has staph infection or something lol in which case no thanks. the problem is philly doesn't have anyone to take kanter on and kanter wouldn't take a bench role in philly behind embid.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL
So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

If we're trying to obtain an in the paint 5 - it's more necessary they play strong defense then are good on the block (eg Willy Cauley Stein). I agree OK4 would take offensive pressure off of KP - but Kanter and Willy both do that almost as well. Appreciate Kanter's effort and he hustles, but soon we will needing to upgrade our defense at the 5 position. Noah coming back healthy would really show how good we could be defensively - prob a pipe dream with his medical history.
We do have a surplus at the 5 spot, so if Willy is to be moved - think we should really be looking at PHX as they have 2 quality SF in J.Jackson and TJ Warren (40 vs Wizards last night). It would take more, but would try to pry one of them away as they will soon have a logjam at the 3 spot. If we think we're going to get a 0-10 draft pick - we should stay pat. If we continue to hover around .500 - we will probably draft in mid to late teens and should consider packaging that pick if we can land a young quality 3 man. Willy, Kuz and mid to late 1st rounder for Josh Jackson if possible. Willy, Kuz and early 2nd rounder for TJ Warren. Maybe even swap Kanter for T.Chandler as they both expire soon... |

OK4 is not better than Willy or Kanter. You literally trade your franchise player's best friend for an inferior player with attitude issues.BRIGGS wrote:Out of sight out of mind?People may forget how good a low post scorer he is.

Someone said something about buying low--this is buying low. More teams will be interested IMHO. If the Cs get him--then that was the last position of weakness. Ok4 doesnt need to play 40 minutes for anyone--he needs to play a quality 25. RIP Crushalot😞
