I'm all for taking a risk on Maker, but you know we aren't picking him.

Even if we did, we would give up on him and trade him instead of developing what he can bring to the table.

Who knows if we actually wanted to develop Noah, but simply saw an opportunity that presented itself after Aldridge didn't re-sign with Portland.

Also, having our own D-League team down the road will probably be a lot different than sending guys to random flyover states thousands of miles away.

People are comparing their greatness. No one is dumb enough to say theyre the same type of player.

You overestimate the intelligence of the majority of humanity.

Back to the point though. I made a comparison, you didn't like it, but who gives a poo.

Every "comparison" is useless anyway because no player is exactly like another. Most comparisons are actually made because two guys LOOK similar. I see Valentine most compared to Danny Green...but why? Skin tone, height, average athleticism. 

Valentine is a much more versatile (and flashy) offensive player than Green. Much better passer. Better rebounder. I'd say Green is the better defender. But when you look at what Valentine brings to the table, Roy makes more sense than Green, who, once again, Valentine is often compared to because of skin tone and likeness in appearance.

All this is much ado about nothing, since draft time is always a let down with Cho and co. anyway...

I said Draymond not Danny. But Wing Draymond, not a PF Draymond.

 

Roy was a PG. Much more athleticism and a better shooter

Roy could play 1-3. Better athlete but he was "above average" at best athletically. He was all about BBIQ...intangibles. He was crafty.

Valentine can also play 1-3 because he is an elite passer for a wing. He can stroke it from range. He rebounds well for his size. His game is also BBIQ and craftiness.

They both have knee issues.

I've seen worse comparisons.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.

      Diontae Johnson had “sigh of relief” when he was traded to Ravens

      By strato · Posted

      You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.

      Dan Morgan is an awful GM

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
