    So trade Reaves and make Davis our 13th man.

  2. Reaves has regressed defensively to the point he’s at best a net neutral player.

  3. AD being -28 tells you all you need to know about the +/- stat

  4. Tall_Succotash

    Damn AD truly is washed for a “superstar”

  5. _Zap_Rowsdower_

    Yeah but Reaves untouchable. Dude is so mid. Yet the ones we want to trade are the top two in the +-

  6. Basic_Commercial_806

    Reaves can’t playmake/shoot 3s/ defend that’s why he’s -130. Trading Reaves and Vincent for Dejounte Murray or Rozier is addition by subtraction. It would solve 75% of their problems.

  7. alexamerling100

    Yet Mr. Pockets refuses to play Rui…

  8. Studentdoctor29

    AD is straight cheeks and he knows it..his defense is a saving grace.

  9. Early-Candidate5492

    Haven’t even clocked that Reaves has played in every game.

    It also feels like Wood has played in less than 34 games. Bro was Dnp CD for like 2 weeks for Hayes.

  10. Ok-ChildHooOd

    AD having an MVP season despite the coaches putting him in a position to fail is how you should read this.

  11. Mustard_Jam

    Reaves has been laughably atrocious on defense. Man needs to average like 20 ppg on insane efficiency to just be a non negative on the court.

  12. blacPanther55

    +/-does not tell the entire story but lineup data does. Reaves is terrible in most 2man to 5man lineups

  13. rational_overthinker

    In the days before +- was a thing, we were less concerned with individual metrics. Just looking at the standings was enough. It was about the team, not the name on the back of the jersey.

    Rarely was it about singling out an individual and more so about what the team could do collectively to improve.

  14. flowermoon24

    Thats why i dont really look at these stats, your best and arguably one of the best defenders rn is -28? Lol

  15. Tangentkoala

    This tells me Reaves and prince get cooked.

  16. Comparing individuals in a stat that is tracked through lineups is useless

  17. Reaves being -137 tells you all you need to know about this stat

  18. beasttyme

    A few weeks back, Lebron had the highest with Ad not far behind. Because I was making a point about Reaves. Mind you at this point Reaves was coming off the bench. Now that he’s playing more with Davis and Lebron as a starter, getting over 30 minutes a game, we see even more his impact and it’s not a good one.

    Reddish was also positive and gas dropped along with Prince. That wasn’t the case when Reaves was on the bench. I see an issue with Reaves, Reddish, prince lineups.

    If you can’t see what this stat is revealing, then you’re not very bright.

  19. nerf_Herder06

    This stat cannot be taken seriously wtf

  20. Mrdrderm

    And people called me crazy when I said Dylan Windler > AD

  21. HomeAgainHufflepuff

    Hmmm. Quite surprising, but I guess doesn’t tell the whole story.

  22. negativelynegative

    Trade Lebron and AD for someone who can actually help Rui, Dlo and Wood.

  23. Reaves led the team in +/- per 100 last season. So what’s the difference now?

  24. This tells me Prince shouldn’t be playing 30 mins every game. He is a 20~ min production guy, always has been for most of his career.

  25. Soviet_Sharpshooter

    Well when the team sucks overall these are gonna look pretty bad no matter what

  26. googlexyz

    Reaves stans will always find excuses for him.

  27. ZacapaRocks

    That stat is so significant that every single potential trade partner is demanding Reaves.

  28. h1t0k1r1

    Huge fan of Reaves but he does get scored on all the time.

  29. drlsoccer08

    Reaves mostly runs the bench unit so it makes sense his lineups would tend to suck

  30. itsyaboikuzma

    Lol, y’all need to realize +/- is literally just a tally of the team’s points scored and scored against while that player is on the floor. It’s not trying to say anything about a player.

    So these “AD is -28, bogus stat” comments are actually retarded. No, it’s not a fucking bogus stat, its sole purpose is to tally. Players that play major minutes on losing teams will naturally have a lowered +/- or even negative, **because the team is losing**. Please educate yourselves.

  31. denobino

    The top 5 look crazy right? You put LeBron with

    * x 3 Decent 3-point shooters.
    * x Rui mid-range game.
    * x D’lo vision to the post.
    * x Wood spreading the floor as a big.
    * x Vando’s defense.

    Not saying AD shouldn’t be up there should that be the starting line-up but it’s just how the LeBron system works, give him shooters. Look at his championship teams and you can see the same pattern.

  32. Apart_Young_9979

    So if we play the top 7 guys next game we will win by 20+ nice , lets hope our coach is on reddit ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|wink)

  33. +/- is a team stat, not individual stat, don’t matter what it’s put under. It shows what happened to the team when the player was on the floor, even if it is in no way the players fault. AD has the biggest impact and is still -28.. tells you all you need to know about using this stat individually.
