Yeah what? Denver had to pay to dump Nurkic and a team with no good bigs? Granted the Memphis pick is gonna be early 20s but drat

Plumlee is a wash on offense, but he sets good screens and can pass. On defense he is very active and can protect the rim (don't know the numbers so feel free to contradict me). He should basically fit into their system like a much bigger Faried

Plumlee is a good passing big that should pair better with jokic imo Denver giving up a first was dumb though

straight up brolic posted:Probably because Plumlee is an athletic, mobile, passing big that pairs perfectly with Jokic on paper. So he can play the 4 effectively then? I thought he was more of a small ball 5 but I haven't watched much portland

They're not "paying" to get rid of Nurkic, they're paying 20-30 draft slots to exchange him with Plumlee which I do 10/10DeimosRising posted:So he can play the 4 effectively then? I thought he was more of a small ball 5 but I haven't watched much portland

Plumlee and Jokic on defense might give Malone a heart attack but hey whatever let's get weird.

This move might be enough to guarantee Denver the 8 seed. Remember this is the Plumlee that learned the art of illegal screens from KG in Brooklyn.

Maaaan Plumlee is cool and good. Sad to see him go, but yeah something had to change. We'll see if this helps.

Den can at least run 48 mins now with similar centers which should help them build their team.

Actually, looking at his Wikipedia page, this is looking like a really good deal. Spoilering cause I don't know how big iPad screenshot will be

Shoutout to Portland capping themselves out on 4 backcourt players and trading their only good big for financial reasons. Extremely good poo poo Neil Olshey

I'm sure GarPax will make a totally competent decision here and not just make a move to try and pretend they know what they're doing to avoid being fired.

I want this to be like the 2015 deadline where almost every team got extremely weird and 10% of the league got traded.

Extremely good poo poo Neil Olshey Yeah, I'm confused with all the praise reddit is giving him. Whether you're trading him because you think he'll fetch too much as a free agent or because you're all in on this draft, it just makes your previous off season work look terrible

I think it is a good move to avoid a sunk cost fallacy. If your dumb moves didn't work, get future assets as best as you can(while avoiding the lux tax another year).

straight up brolic posted:I legit think Portland might be tanking Well their salary is crazy dumb but I mean if you're trying to reload this draft you do that trade 10/10 times, it's a good move. I mean yeah their last off season was a trash fire and no one can tell if they're tanking or trying to compete, but like in isolation it seems solid.

He was gone in the off season anyway though right? Is capitalizing now and getting another first not a good move? There's never been a player I've gone from hate to love in such a short time, gonna miss his sweet passes.
