@kings_muse Monk/Sabonis wanted more PnR. Which the eye test/ stats suggested would be beneficial, less DHO. Fox didn't want DeRozan and asked big 3nD wings. Fox also didn't run great PNR and only averaged 5 assts as PG and didn't shoot the 3 well consistently. Kings never wanted to max him
@CarmichaelDave They didn't want to pay Fox max but traded him for Lavine..... DeRozan alltime great and very good w kings, but Barnes better fit, actual role player and much better contract. Brown fire obviously terrible. Just awful decisions again and again. Add in Schroeder signing.
@ArmstrongEdo0@James_HamNBA If your the 1 seed you have a 48% chance of being top 5 and 14/14/13/12 at the top 4 vs the 7 seed has 7/8/8/8 at the top 4. So yes it matters top 3 though in no way guaranteed have much better odds at top 4, you could say a 50% better chance.
@BrendenNunesNBA@James_HamNBA@SeanCunningham Agree w James. Schroeder disaster. Ellis walk away anyway, unless we played him 25+ mins, but his play has been up n down. Like Hunter better than Kuzma, only disagreement is on a rebuild I think you take Kuminga for the upside, but Dubs wouldn't take Dennis so. Dennis disaster
@James_HamNBA Hunter is 28 making 23m and scoring 14ppg and shooting 31% from 3. I mean we offload Shroder which was a disaster signing but Keon is 26 making 2m and shooting 37% from 3. Why would we ever trade Ellis straight up for Hunter??? @BillSimmons
