so you would not trade chet for wemby? ok got it ill let pop know not to send the offer

This is not the same thing as who is having a better season. It's not terribly hard to have a better season than someone who has more potential than you.

Ammanas posted:

well now I'm curious why ghost dog thought wemby was having a substantially worse season than chet? i did too until i looked it up, mostly from media narrative stuff

Chet was doing way better not that long ago, Wemby has been catching up and Chet has taken a bit of a step back. Its not all narrative, it's just things change.

6 weeks ago Chet was definitely having a better season, but Wemby is having his best month as a pro so this might not be a comparison at all by the end of the season. Chet is also a key player on a very good team (that is also rating out MUCH better defensively) and that will factor. Chet is also almost 2 years older which really makes a difference, but I don't think that should really weigh that much into ROY.

Minnesota, Oklahoma and Washington have a combined GDP twenty times that of France. We all know the deep state led by cackling three toothed miners with neckbeards and weird guys who look like Abraham Lincoln (40% of goons) have been trying to manipulate the narrative in favor of Chet. They host all the podcasts.

maybe your soft baby team should drive to the rim more if they want to go to the line more, steve. the lakers have famously never benefited from bad ref calls against other california teams.



Ghost Dog posted:

by basically every metric? wemby is shooting pretty bad, and yeah i understand there are reasons for it. doesnt really change the fact that hes been outplayed pretty severely by chet. i dont really care who gets the award

chet is losing to wemby in the most important metric, actually being a rookie.

Wemby is obviously the ROY. The Chet convos are just as pathetic as the Derrick White for All-Star bullshit that The Ringer is peddling.

Chet had a much better first month or so than wemby but he has come down somewhat since november when he was shooting like steph curry meanwhile wemby has been playing out of his mind since late december

Pop is running a masterclass in tanking while pretending not to this year by spending the first two months playing wemby out of position and without a point guard then once they couldn't keep that charade up much longer they put him on a tight minutes restriction for the next month

If I were a vet PG looking to put up gaudy stats next to Wemby for a big future contract, I'd sign for a couple of years with a player option.

Rookie Yao ming got 250k more all star votes than Shaq in 2003. Barkley and Shaq learned some poo poo about casual racism that year.

Also I know it's over with but I just put wembys advanced stats next to chets and the Frenchman is acclimating way, way faster to the NBA
