That's not really fair I kind of like most of the Magic, except Meeks and Jeff Green. They just aren't very good.

Would anyone give them anything of value for Okafor? Seems like Brooklyn, Miami, Dallas and Phoenix could use any talent they could get, tho none of those teams have much in the way of assets.

Hell I wouldn't mind Portland taking a flyer on him if the price was right.

Jeff Green always gets traded for a 1st round pick before the deadline, so maybe the Magic were figuring it would be an easy way to get a 1st round pick

Mario in Orlando: is there anything that's worth "freeing"? Was he massively overhyped? Does he just need more playing time? Going from 15 minutes to 8 minutes per game in your 2nd season is pretty bad.

The Ringer has something up on mid-season trades:

quote:

If Bryan Colangelo is finally ready to cash in on Sam Hinkie’s assets, trading for McCollum would make sense. Here’s an idea to mull over: The Blazers send McCollum to the Sixers for Noel, the Sixers’ unprotected 2017 first, the Kings’ unprotected 2019 first, and multiple second-round picks. There would be financial kinks to work out because of the poison pill, but that would be the base offer. If you’re a Blazers fan, your first reaction is probably to click out of this article, but wait!

edit:

quote:

There’s more to consider though: Millsap will be a 32-year-old free agent this summer, so there’s no guarantee that he’d be anything more than a high-level rental. The team he finishes this season with will have his Bird rights, so he would be eligible for the full max at 35 percent of the cap for five years and roughly $207 million. That’s the new market for top-25 players, but teams should pay for what a player will become, not what he was.

Those numbers gave me whiplash.

This sorta thing bugs me. I am pretty sure if you removed bad defensive lineups featuring a player from every team, everyone's DRTG would look better and Sixers wouldn't be 6th anymore.

Playing Okafor makes it hard to have a good defense though, so your point stands. I just don't like it when people try to compare only good lineups against other teams' complete set of lineups.

Giving up CJ seems like a bit of an overpay to me for Noel, a likely mid-lottery Philly 2017 pick and whatever the Kings 2019 pick turns into.

If Portland can't move some other players for some rim protection this year I would rather wait until next year when CJ would be easier to trade.

Why would Philly be a mid-lottery pick? They have the 3rd worst record in the league and adding McCollum mid season probably won't pull them out of the bottom 5 or 6. It'll be a good pick.

It bugs the poo poo out of me too. When I complained to some people who insisted on using these types of comparisons, they told me that they are used more for rhetorical purposes than analytic, and I should leave them alone. The phrase "get away from me, kid, you bother me" was not uttered but implied.

I figure McCollum and Ben Simmons (even without Noel) would mean they end up outside of the top 5.

6th to 8th was my guess, which is why I called it a mid-lottery pick.

I think your point was fine, but we've had discussions recently (Kawhi's defensive impact, for instance) where that kind of analysis was definitely misleading because Kawhi played 75% of the minutes with a specific lineup.

I also do a lot of this in non-basketball capacity for a living so it's like a double-dip of annoyance.

My favorite wtf theory is that teams are isoing Kawhi to effectively play 4-on-4 on offense and that's why Kawhi's defensive impact is lessened this year

literally no team is going to do that in a goddamn regular season game

If you run your offense through Brook Lopez you can probably figure out how to win 1 game out of 5. They have a couple other NBA-like vets too that will keep them hanging around. You play enough guys aged 29-36 you'll win a few games. I've watched like 30 total minutes of Nets games though so maybe scoreboard error?
