3rd season is prob when ppl are least psyched about young players

cj above kyrie huh lol
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
also a lot of this is just wrong on a pure base level... like jayson tatum over KD. if the celtics called the warriors and offered that trade straight up the warriors would laugh in their faces but boston would do it in a heartbeat
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
yeah there some overvaluing of young players on cheap contracts going on here for sure, which is all well and good but you have to take in to consideration that young players are bad
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link
if the bulls called the suns and offered wendell carter straight up for deandre ayton the suns would block the bulls front office's number
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:10 (five years ago) link
btw watched ayton the other night and hes def got some offensive game but yeah he looked tired out there energy levels cld be a problem
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:14 (five years ago) link
i don't necessarily think ayton is better than carter but the idea that carter has more trade value than ayton right now is crazy
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:15 (five years ago) link
its wrong for sure
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:16 (five years ago) link
the list is bad also why did they do the fancy design which relegates the info youre looking for to a fraction of the screen (on desktop)
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:17 (five years ago) link
it does look way better on mobile
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:18 (five years ago) link
yeah I think the list would be better if he abandoned the tiers because clearly there are some players on bigger contracts that would definitely get traded for cheaper youngr players as jordan mentioned. I like the michelin stars tho haha, and the pantheon levels are just from his book
― k3vin k., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:18 (five years ago) link
got the #1 right obv :P
― frogbs, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:19 (five years ago) link
its funny because michelin ratings at least for american restaurants are also very bad and nonsensical
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:20 (five years ago) link
brow is way better than "the freak"
that one makes sense to me because of the contracts
― J0rdan S., Friday, 21 December 2018 18:23 (five years ago) link
if the bucks offered giannis to pelicans for brow they would have to do it
I must say that page has great web design (at least on my iPhone).
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:25 (five years ago) link
idk one player option year is not a huge differentiator in the long run, i mean maybe theyd do it cause cause their roster is garbage making a brow trade demand likely but that situation is just gonna make giannis unhappy too
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:27 (five years ago) link
he's going to beat this michelin star concept into the ground for like the next five years
― Jeff Bathos (symsymsym), Friday, 21 December 2018 18:28 (five years ago) link
id trade giannis for brow if i were the bucks but if i were the pelicans and id rather trade brow for some sort of more rebuilding type package
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:29 (five years ago) link
basically the context of the teams situation is completely missing from this, its more of a all things being equal wld u trade which is fine
― lag∞n, Friday, 21 December 2018 18:30 (five years ago) link
like the warriors wldnt trade kd for tatum but if steph went down w a season ending injury tomorrow they prob wld since kd is prob out after this season

wow their stats are uncannily similar
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 December 2018 00:47 (five years ago) link
i feel like deep down i always knew that ben gordon was the correct comparison but would never admit it to myself
― Clay, Saturday, 22 December 2018 01:15 (five years ago) link
i checked their per game stats really quick after thinking of that before i posted it and am v. proud of myself after seeing their career shooting percentages and advanced rate stats.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 22 December 2018 01:21 (five years ago) link
the advanced rate stats are eerie
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 December 2018 09:25 (five years ago) link
wow, that's impressively bad to look at on my laptop.
i know teams don't like to unload rookies that look somewhat promising, but there are a bunch on that list that are a long way from being actual good nba players.
