I was referring to where I think IQ will end up not comparing him to Brunson now.

But look at Brunson’s numbers his age 24 season and compare them to IQ’s now. IQ is actually ahead of him in. A lot of categories vs. what Brunson did that season. But his next season, his last one at Dallas, was when he took a huge leap and then obviously he took another huge one with us.

So it’s not absurd to think IQ can get close to Jalen’s level.

I think ultimately he’s a good starter or amazing 6th man and probably not quite on brunson’s level but he’s also always going to be a better defender.

Not quite on Brunson’s level is a massive understatement. I love IQ as much as anyone, but he’s not even in the same stratosphere

GoNY,

You might be right but IQ is 24 and Brunson is 27 but look at the leap Brunson took in the last three years.

I think ultimately he’s a good starter or amazing 6th man and probably not quite on brunson’s level but he’s also always going to be a better defender.

All in all as much as I am glad we have OG and don’t want to dwell on the past it just SUCKS we had to sacrifice him to trade RJ and get OG. And while I don’t believe Hubs is right about not having to include IQ to get OG, I definitely understand thinking that bc our team right now if we had IQ would be absolute fire especially if Mitch comes back healthy.

But oh well. Getting OG was obviously the right move. We now just gotta find that replacement for IQ.

All Star voting ends at midnight. Mind boggling that Trae is second on the guard spot. Numbers looks good but is he deserving a starting spot?

Vote Brunson! (He’ll make it as a reserve but he and Halliburton should be starting)

Back breaking loss for the packers

They should have won that game..not really impressed with the niners

Ravens seem like the favorites to win it all. Lamar is the difference

That is the dumbest pass I have ever seen thrown at any level of football

Brock Purdy is such an improbable sports story…

This is a fun but tricky trade season for us.

On one hand, we shouldn’t impede our ability to throw the motherlode pick package at the next star because no trade we make is going to make us contenders this year.

On the other, this team could be really good with some added scoring punch, and this market has some pretty solid options in that department between Rozier, Alex Borkelstein, Bogdan and Bojan, and some others.

Something like Fournier, Grimes, and one of the protected firsts seems like a happy medium, though I could be convinced both that we should be more and less aggressive.

I love IQ. I really think he was great … in his role. But he’s not Jalen Brunson. He’s not the starting PG on a championship team. Brunson can be. IQ as the 6th man is awesome. As a starter? Think Peter principle. He’ll get rich this offseason because someone else loves the stats but I don’t see him as an all-star.
RJ always belonged in Toronto. I’ve always kinda felt he would end up there. Good for him.

Katz posted on Twitter that Hartenstein has a sore left ankle and will be updated tomorrow by the medical staff. Doesn’t seem too serious thankfully.
