Pass me the rock nikka
If given playing time and used to his strengths he can be John Collins with better passing imo
What do you think Obi's celling is?

EXACTLY.
Hawks exposed how predictable we were. Get some cheap talent that can score at multiple levels and some playmaking and we're in a much better place.

Having the threat of someone finishing at the rim all game (like DRose in game 2 or 3, can't remember which where he came out on fire) next to Randle is great, but still doesn't solve for the lack of versatility and ultimately the predictability of our offense. Still feels like more of the same to me. What DRose would be doing if be was still healthy, but no drop off in the 2nd unit. The same logic of having Mitch and Noel to maintain rim protection for 48 minutes, but zero versatility at the 5 spot.
Now is it a BAD thing? Not necessarily. But I don't think it's a formula for the success of an NBA championship. I'd hope we learned we need more than being in attack mode all game to kick out to someone that invariably would be cold, inconsistent or contested.
Let me say this - if we got Sexton, but could still get some combo of Mann, Duarte, Duncan and Ball, I'd shut the fukk up and let it play out without crying.

All possible. Ball and Duncan can be had for about 30-32 million total. I’d need to draft a big at 21 tho, so Murphy, Jackson or one of the Texas boys could be Obi’s replacement off the bench.

What do you think Obi's celling is?

fukk the money and picks for a second are we so sure this couldn't turn into an Rj gets frozen out by other ball dominant players AGAIN? Payton and Randle on their 2 man power trip would be on some Hogan Macho Man Megapowers shyt with Colin here

You mean Nunn looks like a winnerCollin Sexton doing what he did next to Kevin Love is more impressive than Nunn doing that next to two all stars.
I fully understand your logic, but there’s going to be a Kendrick Nunn in every free agency class. I’d rather try to figure out what Sexton can look like on a real team. I already know what Nunn looks like next to talent.
To put it in perspective if he was on the Knicks team last year he would have gone deeper in the playoffs than everyone else on the team and he brings playoff experience being in the finals the year before.
He’s still Kendrick Nunn fam.You mean Nunn looks like a winner

This happens all the time. We’re not getting Sexton or Nunn. Another year of Payton for us. 
The Bank Shot podcast just had a guy plugged into the Cavs on that thinks it would probably take Knox and 2 firsts to get Sexton. Doesn’t know why the Cavs would want Obi when they seem to love Nance Jr. (they could have traded him this season for a first and didnt).
He also agrees with some of yall, that Sexton is more of a 6th man, but can’t deny that the kid has an incredible work ethic and he can’t for sure say that he won’t ever be able to figure it all out since he’s only 22. Knows Thibs will absolutely adore him and so will the fan base.
Finally, he feels the contract may not be an issue in NY since he doesn’t feel like Sexton has much value in the league so it’s going to be a straight up negation between Leon and CAA, but who knows what their interest in Sexton is even based on. He intimated that he’d be worried this is more of a CAA favor than a pure basketball decision.

You in here promoting Collin Sexton though like that means something better
