Probably not very far? IT has probably 2 more years tops before he enters what is likely to be a pretty rapid decline phase, Boogie is terrific, but what are you giving up, and how badly will it gut the team's depth? Beyond that, I don't really like the Boogie/Horford fit defensively, especially as Horford ages.
Boogie makes me nervous, but at the end of the day I agree with you.
l think this concern is overblown. Sure, there are matchup issues with some teams, but more often the matchup issue is more the other way with teams trying to figure out how the fuck they are going to cover both those guys?
Yeah that makes playing the Celtics even more difficult than they already are and I bet very few teams relish having to go up against the Celtics in a seven game series.
Yes to being 22, no to not being completely useless. Right now he's truly abysmal on defense, and he's a black hole on offense. He's been really terrible. He does have the tools to be better, so we'll see if getting traded wakes him up (apparently his attitude and work ethic have been major negatives in DEN this year).
OH MY GOD! A Nurkic/Okafor frontcourt, with Lillard and McCollum? You could play Kawhi at SF and still have a DRtg of like 125.
Well, I meant he isn't completely useless in that he has potential. He shouldn't be playing on a team with playoff aspirations... and Portland is only a game behind Denver for the 8 spot. An emerging team that Portland just made even better. Maybe Portland is going to start tanking before everyone else and give Nurkik some burn. They are 4 games ahead of Orlando for the 3rd worst record in the league. Right now they are the projected 10th pick. I'm half kidding. Plumlee doesn't really move the needle enough to tank.
Plumlee is a significantly better player than Nurkic, and they're miles below the floor so they don't have any real concerns about his next deal. Also they were likely going to stash the Griz pick anyway because they have no roster spots.
Ah yes forgot they were below the floor. They going to keep him as a backup center you think long term?
Some people who cover the team think he and Jokic can play together , so he'll likely be the 3rd big, but get something more than normal 3rd big minutes. Matt Moore thinks they'll keep him since he'd be easily movable by the time they need the money for extensions/re-signing.
Maybe, but he's restricted, less teams have money, and less teams with major cap space need a big (MIA, MIN, LAL, PHI all seem unlikely). I think he gets 12-14. Probably depends on if someone falls in love with him. The teams likely to have enough cap to offer his 16M+ are: BOS (doubt it), DAL, BKN. BKN seems the most likely to make a bid and be willing to tie up the cap space on an offer sheet.
Really only short-handed in the wing position. Zeller is only going to play in particular matchups when Horford/AMir/Kelly/Jerebko are all healthy. Plus against the Jazz you want to force Gobert and Favors to cover a shooter on the perimeter as much as possible, it's why Jerebko and Olynyk got much more time than Amir.
I follow obsessive people. Process superfans are intense.
Unless this changed in the new CBA, there's no penalty for not hitting the cap floor. The difference is paid out to the players on the roster.
Why would we want to give up anything to a player who has only had one full season injury free in 2009? Who's also probably going to elect to be a FA. He's missed an average of 25 games a year the last 5 years. I bet if he hit the FA market and Danny paid what he ultimately gets this board would explode. He's not the piece that will put us over the top and we won't pay him. Unless it's like our 2nd round top 50 protected it's a waste of assets
Cavs opening up a roster spot. Means that Derrick Williams will be signed for the rest of the year at least.
Probably worth noting that he's 5/6 from the field. Also only has 1 reb in 42 minutes, which is Lopezian.
Sixers and Nuggets did have the dance with Mo Williams to inch closer to the floor
