Tell me you haven't seen Naz Reid play without telling me you haven't seen Naz Reid play.
You know that he's got wing handles and isn't a true big? Something along the lines of Gordon without outwordly vertical, but with elite shooting.
Please go watch some videos of his and then check the advanced stats, then come back and tell me why would he be anything short of a perfect fit with Wemby.
Grayson Allen is the only one out of all those targets who's a true spot up shooter.
And we really need one of those because none of our current players is an actual off-ball threat.
Every legit team has 3-D players that don't really need the ball and play their best basketball by picking their spots.
We also need a point of attack defender.
The downfall of UTA teams in the playoffs was that their entire team was trash defensively and Gobert played 1v5 defense at times. O'Neale and Ingles were the only good defenders.
All the talk about Trae being a bad defender, which he is, would be valid if we had better defenders. But we don't. He's not any worse than Tre.
And we're dying for someone who can make us look like an actual basketball team instead a bunch of randoms that gathered at your local gym for the first time.
Because Wemby is getting a lot of varied looks right now? The only points he doesn't creat for himself are the easiest passes you or I could make. And even those aren't made a lot of the time.
Who says Trae can't play off the ball?
It's not about ing lob catching, ffs. Why do you people have such a simplistic view on basketball?
It's about noone on the team having any gravity that would help Wemby.
Whether it be playmaking gravity and ability to collapse defenses or shooting gravity that would make opponents reluctant to help off those players.
Ok, I don't want to insult you, but who the am I talking with here?
Did you just write that Topic can guard some POA? Are you serious? Have you ever seen the kid play?
I guarantee you that 95% of posters in here would straight up refuse to draft topic if he was a domestic prospect and not almost a countrymen of Doncic.
You don't want Trae because he's a bad defender, but you'd take ing Topic? Are you people just trolling in here?
Batum is washed and retiring after this season. I guess maybe playing one more year with Wemby could persuade him.
Hachimura is a worse player than any of the wings I suggested, but he plays for the Lakers, so I guess you bought into their propaganda.
Pat Williams just had a foot surgery and is up for an extension.
You're legit naming players that are a couple of tiers below Naz Reid on both ends of the floor.
You want MPJ?
If you don't believe me, ask Nuggets fans and everyone will tell you that MPJ is one of the dumbest players in the league. Negative IQ.
But he's got size and shooting stroke, so they tolerate him.
He should be giving two thirds of his paycheck to Jokic.
And he's not a good team defender, awful IQ and instincts.
He's also making 35 to 40M a year until 2027.
You don't want Trae for that salary, but you want MPJ? Do you ing people even watch any actual NBA games or just play fantasy and 2K?
I see that you're also already projecting Risacher (if that's Zachhh, because I hope it's not Lavine) as an elite shooter.
Again, much like Topic, you have absolutely no clue about the player you're talking about.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm some all-knowing expert, but some of you people are so lost, holy ing .
You spewed so much nonsense and contradiction in one post I legitimately got upset.
