Having Covid is a recipe for desaster for NBA players. Takes a while to recover.

Tatum is totally ass post Covid.

Looks like 50 % of the NBA players can't play proper basketball post Covid. Seth Curry can't throw the ball into an ocean, shooting ~ 30 % from 3. Mavs starting 3 guys who look like zombies, condition/shape is back to zero post Covid. Some of those guys are coming back slower than a guy who broke their leg.

I wish I could use this excuse but that just isn’t the case.
Tatum is def lacking effort though. Taking plays off which is embarrassing. That’s becoming a team issue....

Other than 2 seasons, Stevens always starts slow. Loves testing lineups but this year it’s been tougher relying on just kids on the bench since Teague and TT have been a disaster.

Don’t think it’ll get any better until they use the TPE and move on from a few players. I believe Ainge will FINALLY make some trades to better the bench.

Thad Young would be really nice.

The Jays are fucking exhausted.

Take a long good look at our roster.

Tell me how many of those players would even see minutes on another team...

We have absolutely no help. Kemba sucking in the beginning force JB/JT to have to create half court offense constantly. Semi/Williams/G.Will/Nesmith have all shat the bed, they're okay but I was expecting more development...

Nesmith called himself a certified sniper, and has yet to even crack any close to our rotation. Like Waters/Edwards have been doing better, but these guys have no right to be on our team, they're absolute trash + their short size is gonna limit them.

Langford has been injured.

We should've brought in Tillman/Bane for bench depth... Danny Ainge giving up that second pick for future second rounders, was his dumb shit way of trying to be 'cute.' They would've looked really good in our system.

Also JT having COVID is definitely a valid excuse....


Not everyone is exactly the same after COVID, I mean Myles Garrett was a helluva lot different.

EDIT:

These are TPE targets that we should go after
Aaron Gordon
Harrison Barnes
Buddy Hield
Larry Nance Jr.
PJ Tucker
Terrence Ross
Lonzo Ball
Thad Young
Daniel House

We need either a wing or 4.

Players that would certainly help us + would cost a pretty penny:
Lauri Markannen
John Collins

Harrison Barnes is the one I’m interested in (isn’t he on a max?), maybe Thad young too

Rest are yuck other than Collins who doesn’t play defense and would cost us jaylen brown or Marcus smart +++

I agree with Tatum having complications due to covid. I had that shit and felt 70% for the 2 weeks after I tested negative again. Obviously Tatum is an elite athlete but I can see how it has fucked with him.

Eww

No he wouldn't lol, they want a lottery pick, no one is gonna give them a lottery pick for Collins. Plus Collins is money, and Barnes is getting paid over $20 million.

Yeah I don’t speak Korean but from what I can work out your agreeing with everything I said, right?

Always hitting it in the ball park, nice valuations

I’m pretty on the money with it

Hawks wouldn’t let Collins go in a trade to us for anything that doesn’t include either Brown or Smart. Obviously we would get something back for Brown and likely have to give something along with Smart, but that’s the only 2 assets we have that they would be interested in.
