If JT and PP don?t play then this is DW?s big chance to get his game going. We need you DW!
if they're not playing I suspect that's going to put too much focus on white since the only other 'proven' scorer the C's have is PG.  someone's got to score and it would need to be White but how bad will his efficiency be and will he actually score or have another brickfest?  for that reason, I think both Tatum and PP will be playing.

Yeah we can't depend on D White and Hauser to be our third offensive scoring threat. D White has regressed even more than last year and now you don't have JB, what's his excuse now?

Package 'em up and see what's out there.

im trading d white and m rob right now before trade deadline and seeing what we can get in return.
Well maybe we should see what we can get in return before we trade them  ;D

Robinson I HOPE is just out of shape and being asked to play a bit of a new role. Hes been so consistently the same dude for years now. To just forget how to rebound and defend the rim is baffling to me. Trading him seems kinda pointless. Dont see any world where you get someone that helps the team more this year and hes not gonna get a bunch of picks for you.

I do worry White is just done. Hes always gonna be this super high IQ guy who makes all the right reads on both sides of the ball, but he can't get by anybody, he can't shoot, he cant stay in front of anybody.

It would be fine if he was on some bargain bin contract but hes making 35 mil. Hes killing us right now.
I didn't like that pick swap we gave SA for him that deal and I really don't like it as I've seen his play degrade last year and even moreso this year
Whoa whoa whoa

The D White trade was a grand slam. Let?s not get too crazy here

This was Indiana's team last night

SF: Jalen Slawson = who is he?
PF: Jarace Walker = borderline rotation player
 C: Jay Huff = backup center
SG: Quenton Jackson = who?
PG: Braden Smith = who?

That was their starting 5. And they only had 1 bench player in Kobe Brown (PF/C) who is a borderline NBA player. Probably not an NBA player. They only had 6 players. Everybody else was out.

Imagine everyone being out injured except for your 6 worst players. That is what Indiana had last night.
Hey Braden Smith is the NCAA Division 1 all time assists leader!

Was it injuries? It looked to me like their starters got benched.

I continue to argue that the assumption that the Pacers are back as an elite team with Haliburton healthy is silly. I know he's already injured again, but if the team is a 20 win team without him, then are they a contender with him?
the idea was that it was the addition of Zubac with Hali's return as the key to them being a playoff team

I can't put Tatum in over Pierce or Hondo.

Tatum has only 600 games played. Pierce has 1100 and Hondo 1270 games played. That is roughly half of Pierce / Hondo. For me to put a guy ahead of others who have played that much more, he must be so far above them as an individual player that it negates the difference in games played. Tatum isn't that.

I have Pierce in my top 10 SFs of all time. Hondo too. Above Pierce. If Tatum retired tomorrow, would he be a top 10 all time SF? I don't think so.

Just out of curiosity, who's your SF top 10?

LeBron
Bird

Baylor

Dr J
Rick Barry
Hondo
Kawhi

Durant
Pippen
Pierce


Am I forgetting anyone?

Pierce was higher on my list about 10 years ago but Kawhi & Durant have entered the list since then. Kawhi is a tough guy to rank because of the injuries. That run to the title in 2019 was amazing though. More than I saw from Durant, Pippen, Pierce. Similar to R Barry's run in 1975.

Worthy.  Nique & Melo would be in conversation although not sure top 10 worthy.  Then you have guys like King & English.

Took me a second to figure out which Baylor you were talking about  ;D ;D

But on a more serious note, what about Pistol Pete Maravich?
