Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Isn't Deadspin, by virtue of its existence, a joke? Don't think many things are sacred on that site. Personally just think I'm glad something happened. F*** what journalists think. The easy take in sports is the cynical/snarky one. It's why we've had 8 months of golden state warrior jokes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicNZ 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 I might be in the minority, and Rob touched on it in his presser, but the Ibaka trade was a failure, but I don't think this trade is. I'm excited to see what Ross can do, fills a need as a wing player, and we got a 1st for this year, which although is a late first gives us another piece to play with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magicman28 295 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Hennigan wouldn't commit to Gordon at the four because he doesn't set the rotations, Vogel does. And Vogel has never ran a team with a small ball 4 nor a player like AG. I have feeling he's going to screw this up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

South_Aussie_Magic 90 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 The easy take in sports is the cynical/snarky one. It's why we've had 8 months of golden state warrior jokes Oh, I get it. I just can't imagine why anyone would take what is said on Deadspin as anything close to objective journalism. Not to say I don't sometimes agree with the viewpoints expressed. But can't take it for anything than the snark, as you said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRISH10 103 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 lol...maybe he will be upset he just got traded from contender to absolutely the worst franchise in the NBA and ask to be traded....as he should. He was a backup there majority of the time and never really grew into a star because of the established all stars on his team. Just like Ibaka this is his chance to show the league that he can be a star on his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he will be a solid role player and if given the minutes I could see him averaging around 15-17 a game, as his PER36 suggests. Still just 25 and never been given big minutes consistently. For sure agree he has a great opportunity here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think he's got another gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted February 15, 2017 Who knows maybe Ross will be Mcgrady 2.0 for us. Lol I doubt it but man that would be awesome. If he turns into a Wesley Matthews type of player in his Portland days I'll be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
