Rondo to Kings for #8? I'll accept it, under 1 condition. That's if we pick up Julius Randle.
Please Celtics do it.....

Basically it means his defense is kinda boo boo.

I dont think we can take those into account on team like the magic. Everyone except Vuvu went negative.

^Well yeah, that's because the Magic as a team had a net negative season, for the most part all their players were outplayed in the majority of their games.
RAPM factors all that into account, it's not a perfect stat (no catch all stat is) but it illuminates some things

Their Model is the same thing Portland did, The Same thing San Antonio did... you build a competitive team and rely on the draft without completely being a bum squad year in & year out. Nobody is saying disregard the draft, i'm saying that you can get playoff experience and still build by acquriring picks in the later portions of the first round.
Once The Bulls Realized the Talent they had with Rose, they set on to build a team around him and build, not sit with a bunch of rookies every year wishing on a star
The Cavs realized they had a special Talent with Lebron, made the decision to have a competitive team, Not sit with a bunch of rookies every year wishing on a star
The Nuggets with Melo Same thing, The Spurs with Duncan same thing, Blazers with L.A same thing, PG in Indy same thing.
When you have a Talent that is going to be a perrenial All-Star & MVP candidate you don't sit around and twiddle your thumbs and negating the attempt to improve for the sake of getting lottery picks. I just showed you how that has worked for teams who attempted that route. You make improvements every year, you add players who can grow with your star, you build towards a winning mindset. Not leave him on a team of bums geared to lose 50-60 games every year.
And once again how do they have no flexibility going Forward? By the year AD becomes a Restricted FA they have 2 players signed under contract & those are only one year deals. Not to mention the players that they signed as of now (Jrue, Evans, Gordon) will only be 28-30 by the time his contract is up and will actually be in their primes. You guys are acting as if they signed a bunch of 30+ year old players to 7 year deals.
This teams core players are ( 21, 23, 24, 25) yet somehow these are horrible or immovable pieces?
You claim you should get players who are good, (Hm one was an AS at 21, the other two have proven to be 20 PPG scorers at the NBA level) yet you insist on gambling on guys who you HOPE could even attain that level of success. (Which ONCE again those stats show isn't highly likely).
Not to mention that you fools continuously forget that this is a BUSINESS first and that teams don't make money and can't afford to keep Star players if they don't start winning.

I generally understand advanced metrics but I don't need the quadratic formula to tell me what kind of player he is

Josh Robbins, the Orlando Sentinel beat writer, explains Orlando's potential line of thinking.
Orlando liked Fournier back in 2012 and he was drafted right before Nicholson
They probably wouldn't have re-signed Afflalo when he became a FA so they wanted to get something for him
The potential trade for the #1 probably wasn't as close as some might have thought
They'll have close to 28 million in cap space if they waive some players.. but they don't expect to be big players in free agency this summer.
The question is whether or not you could have gotten something better. Maybe a late 1st round pick? But if you like Fournier better than anyone in the late 1st round then it's a better deal. What would OKC or Chicago have given them? Maybe another contender could give something more? Perhaps but Hennigan is definitely one to get something for his players before they hit FA.. like he did with JJ. So maybe the other offers weren't as interesting.
I just hope they don't overpay and try to sign guys just to sign them. I know you can't keep being terrible and hoping these young crop of guys develop into something, but use that cap space wisely and be patient.

yup, was gonna post it in here but thought no one would care
i thought it was obvious early in the season that he got signed since all he wore was retros for about 3/4 of the season then he randomly started wearing Nike PE's for the rest of the season. Glad hes on JB, hope they give him some sick Pistons colored retros but they will most likely give him some team garbage :x

It's amazing what we fans can convince ourselves of, people are hyping up the draft and lottery like 1984 and 2003 happen every year
:x to make it even worse teams wanna tank an entire season for some undeveloped 1 year college players that won't contribute right away anyway.
