I was saying these things more in a general sense, not based on one half of a summer league game

I feel like Ayton is sort of a finished product at this point, while Bamba is still a work in progress...especially on the offensive end. But if Bamba can continue adding weight and become a legitimate 3-pt threat, his upside is off the charts

Oh crap. Bamba pooped his pants

Yes! And the trade gets announced during the summer league game for max impact!

And I've already acknowledged that, like three times now. Lol

I thought I acknowledged that in my previous post? Its still not a good "real-life" comp IMO

Like I said, I know little to nothing about CARMELO. It's some sort of algorithm that spits out comps based on numbers apparently. I just don't see anything, having watched both players, that looks similar (besides perhaps the numbers)

Yes, I'm 43 and have watched college basketball my whole life. I've been educated on the CARMELO comps and I understand that they are purely numerically speaking. And yes, Oden was a stiff and always looked like a 10 year NBA veteran to me. His knees seem to back that up

I literally see no similarities. Oden was stiff and had no touch. More of a back to the basket, throw back guy. He was pretty much the complete opposite of Bamba

Right. And I'm wondering why?

Huh?

Jesus, Bamba's comps make no sense. AD, Favors, Oden? WTF??

But Rozier would likely be significantly better than what’s available late lottery/mid first round

Thanks. Mine does too now. It didn't yesterday

Is our game today at 5:00 on ESPN2 or NBATV? I don’t see it listed on either channel (DirecTV).

5yr/110 and call it a day

So TR is a RFA next summer? I thought it was two years out? We need to find a way to get him. He's the perfect PG for this team with his defense and emerging shooting/offense

Then go all in for Terry Rozier that summer

He’s not. He’s a Mario replacement. AG isn’t going anywhere

Ayton was almost consensus #1. His floor is higher but Bamba's ceiling is higher IMO. Everyone has been on Doncic for two years and Atlanta is hoping for Curry 2.0. Memphis has Marc Gasol so Bamba is duplicate talent. It was pretty much an equal mix of lack of fit and luck that Atl and Dal made a deal. Otherwise Bamba goes #5 to Dallas and they get the steal of the draft

The perfect PG for us plays for the C's and is a FA in two years. His name is not Kyrie either

Or 1. Honestly, he could easily be the best player in this draft class 3 years from now

Perfect. We'll happily match anything just north of $20M

Everyone thinks it whether they say so or not

Fantastic
