nice circle jerk thread

"foul merchant"

Wanna join in?

BYOL though

I'm one "vulgar" suspension away from a warn

So....yes or no?

He was also almost 30 and was coming off a fluke season -

He averaged 28 ppg when his previous high was 23 ( a 22% increase over his previous career high )

2.2 steals when his career high was 2.0 ( 10% increase )

8.2 rebounds when his career high was 7.0 - ( 17% increase )

While being in the middle of his career averages for fg% , 3% and ft%

He didn't become a better player, he just had higher usage and was almost guaranteed to come crashing back down to earth and was about to get old ---- it was a terrible terrible trade

Which is why Masai didnt trade pascal and picks for him to get Kawhi to stay

You watched ball for a while you know its not the same. Trolling aside.

I mean its fine the nba is fucked now anyway i dont watch at all ill admit that 100% evryone can take 3-4 steps carry the ball shoot a 3.

Huh? Or how about he hit his prime NBA age....

PG was a 5x All-Star with multiple all-NBA and all-defense honors under his belt...all prior to even going to the Thunder lol. He was electric in Indy and if it wasnt for LeBron he may have had a ring. Then he went off in OKC and made a run for MVP.

He's a future hall of famer. To call him a bum in his prime is WILD. Hell, he was an All-star just a year ago and had his best shooting season of his career at 33/34 years old. Safe to assume his first season in Philly was an anomaly more than anything else.

Meat!

I mean I'll grant you calling him a BUM is a stretch - although relative to SGA alone he's a bum


but even that "All Star" season was 22.6/5.2/3.5 which is ok

Sabonis was 20/13.7/8.2 on WAY better efficiency , Top 10 in both BPM and VORP and was shooting over 61% by the ASG
That's a joke that PG was picked over him.

And yes any player that gets 9x all star appearances is going to the HOF - the HOF isn't what it was --- Amar'e Stoudemire is going to get in for Christ's sake

Paul George is a great player , and I regret saying BUM - but the trade was still massively lopsided and a massive overpay for what is essentially a career 20/6/3.5 player who is an outstanding defender, he's an average all star with longevity, not a generational player

MVP and about to win his first title. 🔥🔥🔥

This is SGA's league

And hes only 26
