How can all 30 NBA teams "NAIL" their 2024 offseason by ESPN.  Any guesses?   Anyone? Bueller....

Trade Trae to the Lakers.  Really?  That's the best you got stupid ESPN guy?  SMH

 

 

To be fair, I bet it doesn't say 'how can all 30 teams NAIL the offseason for their own team'.  So trading Trae to LAL is how the Hawks can NAIL the lakers' offseason.

Still works, no?

Sarr is > 70% on his FT’s and has good form. Usually indicators that the 3 will improve.

Heard that about OO for years...And he was a 75% FT shooter..

I still don't trust him shooting 3's.. 

What is he like a 30% career 3 pt shooter?

Clingan can make 3 out of 10...lol

I don't need these guys to become these awesome stretch 5s....just be respectable to make the defense actually think about having to at least consider guarding you out there. It's what the perception of being able to hit it with a level of consistency that affects how team guard you and in turn frees up the middle.  So instead of the defender having a foot in the paint, he has to play 2 feet out from the paint.

Is anybody else concerned with how Clingan moves? He moves a little too "gingerly" to be only 20 years old.

HI 'feet movement' reminds me of Mike Muscala (AND NO I AM NOT SAYING HE IS MOOSE SO DON'T @  ME) - he has very skittish feet. Maybe it's because his legs/lower body doesn't seem like a strong base.

Yes.  Very concerned.  Their leg size is the same.

I'm always concerned about humans this big having foot problems..

He needs to work on his lower body for sure..

Guys who are good FT shooters AND have made 3s in games? Meh. 

Guy who isn't a good FT shooter and hasn't shot since HS-Oh he will be fine. 

 

Again, this place is losing its collective mind.

Yeah, that's not encouraging at all. He's moving how I was moving when I was completely washed up and knew it was time to let the young guys have it.

Meh. Isn't Castle the same size as Murray or shorter?

I'm not the biggest Risacher fan, and I like Castle, but come on..... lol

If we could get 4 from SA in Murray trade

Trae/Risacher/?/JJ/Clingan would be ALOT of size around Trae..

 

When I watch Risacher and Sheppard play, I just think, “basketball player”.

You just knocked Yek for shooting and then said Clingan could do the exact same thing even though every shooting metric he has says he is much worse of a shooter than Yek....

Castle is 6'6", 215 lbs.  He's bigger than Murray.  He's also a much better POA defender than Murray.
