Durant made the Warriors substantially better despite the weaker regular season record

Acknowledged and accepted. Is Durant plus KP worth more than 20 additional wins combined? Cause 40 might get us to the playoffs in the east but there’s a lot of competition at that level.

Deyonta Davis has a 60% ts%. That is factorial.

Bradley Beal is going to score 50 on us. Book it.

In reply to ptmilo.

Gotcha, thanks, that makes a lot more sense. I mean, it’s stupid, but it makes more sense than trading a future first for those two guys.

Brian I think you may have it confused though the truth is not much better. Memphis traded for those two early seconds (31 and 35) from the celts for a Clippers first this year or next which is lottery protected or never conveys.

but the Celtics also have the grizzlies first this year because Chris Wallace wanted Jeff Green. that pick is top 8 protected.

the confusing/funny part is the reason Memphis has the clips 1sr to begin with is because doc rivers wanted jeff green from Chris wallace.

let’s hope Kevin knox doesn’t become a similar Rube Goldberg litmus test for gm competence, because a version of future him similarly fits the type.

I was thinking about how frequently a bad team is just the result of bad luck, and the first example that came to mind was Greg Oden. I couldn’t remember who drafted him, so looked it up and saw it was Portland. Oden AND Brandon Roy – that’s some bad luck. And yet they have still generally been good!

So a good FO can overcome bad luck, it seems.

In reply to The Honorable Cock Jowles.

Losing out on the #2 pick of one of the best drafts ever in exchange for Otis Thorpe is one thing, but losing out on a lottery pick so that you could play Deyonta Davis for two seasons is just mind-boggling.

Why did the Grizzlies trade a future first round pick in 2016 for Deyonta Davis and Rade Zagorac?

This is a trick question, which I know because those are not real people and you made them up with your mind.
