2020-21 Around the NBA Thread

he’s also in his 7th season after not even playing his first two years in the league.

Ayton making all-star game next year would put him on schedule.

The Clippers trading Blake was one of the best trades in NBA history.

 

[JCSunsfan]

I'm not sure what value Griffin brings to the table anymore. Mostly he just camps out at the 3-pt line and hoists them up at a sub-standard 31.5%

It was stated on RealGM and not disputed that Blake hasn't dunked in a game since December 2019. Think about that.

No point in adding Blake. He's done.

We were talking in my family how he is essentially Dario Saric now.

please Blake can't hit the three anymore.

please Blake can't hit the three anymore.

I believe he was just thinking about how ground based Blake seems to be these days.

Looking just at stats, Blake looks finished. Unless he's been saving his body for his next employer, I can't see him helping anyone. Although knowing had bad Detroit has been, I wouldn't be shocked to learn he's been mailing it in for awhile.

 

[Carolinacacti]

I think Grant found out the truth when he went their.

 

[Yuma]

please Blake can't hit the three anymore.

That's even more reason to not get him. We already have Saric that has to play below the rim as a big, and as you said he shoots the three much better, so why would we need Blake. I like the idea of a shot blocker, rebounder who can play big centers. I don't know if there is one out there.

Hope we get these creampuffs in the playoffs.

We will find out if Griffin was loafing or he has something left. I am guessing the former.

I think Griffin will be fine as a small ball center. The Nets won't ask too much of him. My guess he will play down low a lot.

 

[Mainstreet]

Blake Griffin will earn $1.2 million for the rest of the season with Nets.

The Suns ought to go for Drummond, if for. I other reason than preventing the Lakers from getting him.

Agreed if he is a buyout. But I don't like our odds of signing him over the lakers.

 

[Mainstreet]

Solid signing for Jazz.

Ersan Ilyasova will sign for the veteran minimum.

And the Jazz add more size and shooting. They're going to be a tough out in the playoffs. They've got depth, size, defense and shooting. I'm not sure what their weakness is except maybe postseason experience but they have that, just haven't gotten that deep yet.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Their weakness is relying upon Jordan Clarkson to be their 2nd bucket getter.

The Jazz have lots of shooters in Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanović and Clarkson. Even Niang and Ingles can shoot.

I was hoping another team would sign Clarkson as a free agent.

I think the Jazz could have a better starting power forward but that's about it.
