Random NBA Observations 2021 - 2022

All-time WOAT posting right here.



The Cavs' twin-towers frontcourt has been the main reason Cleveland currently has a winning-record, and gives their fans hope of having some resemblance of a future, post-Bron. Mobley is ranked 1st in contested shots and Allen 7th; they have a 99.4 DRTG as a duo, which is not only the best rating on the Cavs, but one of the best frontcourt defensive ratings in the entire league.

A compilation on just how devastating they've been on the defensive end, together:

Can’t argue with these dummies

Assets such as

Assets such as

Wiseman and 2 lottery picks from the 2021 draft (Kuminga / Moody)

I mean you could include Poole too if we wanted

Warriors looking like they still got some magic left.

We the new Spurs

Wiseman and 2 lottery picks from the 2021 draft

It's not that enticing of a package especially when you consider the fact any big trade will involve taking on Wiggin's contract in the process. Wiseman hasn't shown anything and Kuminga and Moody are years away from being actual contributors.

I mean they are all undoubtedly 'assets' - I dont think super highly of Wiseman, but I doubt the league has written him off after his rookie season (I also edited to include Pooles name)

Wiggins has one more year left on his deal I believe - so if a team is looking to go young and move an established player, they arent going to sweat taking that contract on IMO (it will actually be tradeable as an expiring next trade deadline)

It still doesn't change the fundamental aspect that other teams around the league can offer better packages than what GS is offering. That's I find the "big trade" sentence in that tweet rather weird especially considering the fact that GS tried to offer that same package to teams this past offseason and no one took them up on the offer.

well I think the biggest thing here is, what players are even on the trade market? and do they even make sense for GS?

I think a package surrounding Wiseman, Kuminga, Moody, Poole has value around the league though. and they have the Wiggins contract to match salaries with

It has value say for a player like Pascal Siakam, but I wouldn't consider that a "big trade" or enough to make GS a true championship contender even with how well they've performed so far.

Before you mention Klay coming back into the fold, he's coming off missing two straight seasons, so I wouldn't really be high on him coming back as the same player.

At this rate I think GS will just hold on to what they have. If they don't see a superstar available (which Ben isn't), Poole, Wiseman, Kuminga are staying put.
