And if there's no trade Memphis or Dallas aren't drafting Trae. The earliest he's going to be picked if not for Atlanta picking him at 3 is 6. And if, hypothetically, someone trades ahead of us to take Trae we get Bamba or Jackson and it looks silly spending a bunch of draft capital to move up to 4. I agree. But if Trae is high on their board, top 3, along with Doncic & JJJ, sitting at 6 presents the possibility that all 3 are gone. We fans loves Doncic but the FO could feel very differently. If you have the chance to trade up to 4 to get one of your guys, for a marginal cost, you got to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was hilarious. People forget how good Jameer was in 08-09 before going down with the shoulder injury from Dampier. He was torching other top-tier PGs.

He was 394th last year in eFG% and 98th out of 104 point guards in defensive real plus minus. There's a real argument that Payton is better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm interested in the 19 pick protections. Feels like we'll stop at top 2. Dallas might get crazy and go unprotected. Who knows I'd have no problem going unprotected. we'll be in the teens next year; either late lotto or not. I'm confident in this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was torching other top-tier PGs. He had 1 good spike year that was more of an outlier. He never could defend. Was an average passer. Average driver. He was a solid PG but a better teammate and leader than actual player. His stats are completely underwhelming for as good of teams he played on. People don’t wanna hear this but the reason we didn’t win a title was because of Jameer. We were never winning a title with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I respect your opinion and can see how people would agree with most of what you said up until the last two sentences. The argument about him contributing to our title loss or that he couldn't get us over the hump is farcical and improvable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
