THIS Is The Reason Grayson Allen Won’t Be Traded
what you’re losing in in Grayson is not just the three-point shooting he’s such a good all-around player too I think we we kind of you know we didn’t we didn’t really understand that that’s what we were getting when we got him last year and then he surprised us all MCO I wonder though if if you look at it is it easier to find a guy that can hit three at a decent clip or is it easier to find that Rim rolling big in a backup point guard and does that start to come in to it do you feel a rim rolling big can actually to your point make things easier on the big three potentially make it where the the offense makes a little bit more sense for these guys and maybe you take a five percentage Point hit on who’s shooting those threes you know but you but does that make them better these are the kind of things that they’re going to be asking themselves in the room knowing that they have so few options and have to explore this but the great thing about this though because of the scenario that Grayson is in and the fact that he can’t be traded until October is you have plenty of time in the offseason to find you know maybe that Rim running big if you can get him in the draft or maybe there’s a you know some other smaller trade that can that can happen to Shore that up or a three-point shooter either one of those too and so I think you have plenty of time to identify what you’re really going to need by the time you get to a scenario if this ever presented itself in real life uh to trade Grayson Allen I just don’t see it because what do you when what you’re losing in in Grayson is not just the three-point shooting he’s such a good all-around player too I think we we kind of you know we didn’t we didn’t really understand that that’s what we were getting when we got him last year and then he surprised us all with with his with his level of play so you know Nick Richards I don’t feel like would be a good tradeoff um I don’t think both of them would so yeah I think you bring up a good point though because if you find a guy that you feel really good about from a three-point shooting perspective or a couple guys in other moves maybe you do at that point explore in October or at the trade deadline or whenever options with with Allen to not that you want to but if you feel like there are still problems you know that you’re trying to fix I would say that if I had to replace one or the other or if I wanted to find one or the other I would more want to find the rim running big than I would the perimeter shooter because I I feel like um if you’re going with the rim running big that frees up the perimeter and obviously the other parts of book KD Beal’s game that you want to be freed up and we didn’t really have that last year they tried to make Drew Eubanks that guy but he just wasn’t so I think and I think that’s a little bit more reliable at The Rim than a perimeter shooter especially once you get the playoff time I mean you SE Lively is just going crazy but they’re all dunks you know what I mean like it’s not like they’re asking them to shoot whereas you know you start having to come up with those clutch buckets in in in you know crunch time changes the narrative a little bit when you’re shooting from 30 feet out so you bring up Lively the afro buzz in the chat said we don’t need uh to make moves per se Eubanks can do what Lively does if we build some chemistry do you feel like Eubanks could be closer to that eub Banks has got good athleticism but he’s not nearly the the standing type of dude that Derek Lively is plus he’s not as tall as him and he’s not as long as him either those two factors matter he gets about another foot advantage over Drew Eubanks uh than than Drew has so I think that’s a big difference there and I do I do agree that like this is a roster that you don’t need to make a drastic move I think if you Tinker around the margins like we’ve identified they need bigger more defensive minded wings um you know upgrade the center rotation that doesn’t necessarily mean replacing nerk but it does mean having more alternatives for those playoff series where nerk can’t stay on the floor backup point guard like two of those three things I think you can get most of what you need on at the center spot and backup point guard spot with that minimums it’s the defensive-minded wings that if you’re looking for starting caliber or even playoff rotation caliber wings like those are probably the ones that you’re hoping you can trade for but again like a lot of these options are pretty limited teams aren’t just going to give up starting caliber wings uh even with Grayson you know being in the mix if if that’s what we’re talking about here and the toughest thing too is you don’t know what impact huden hoer is gonna have how much does he fix in what you had last year there’s so many question marks about about all this that that I think that adds a level of a degree of difficulty this off season because you really don’t know with him how much it’s going to affect so how much do you change uh you know and and how much can that impact all of
