Yes, Mikal was a solid role player on the Suns. They basically had him as a 4th option. Any NBA fan could see that he was good 2-way player and had a lot of potential. I am interested to see if they will still make the playoffs this year and how they do. Brooklyn may need a vet floor general point guard that can unlock those young players potential. Not sure if Dinwidie is a true pt guard.

I agree 100%. Imagine if the 76ers didn't trade him away for nothing lmao. 76er's would be favorites in the east.

Basically suns has a superteam already but didn't use it lol bad coaching

@@boonebeasley9622 Monty Williams is a great coach, I thought that was the case?

@@lvmsoundwave2923 Spence has some decent playmaking talents but I’d say he’s more of a shooting guard. He can run the point obviously, but if I were them, I’d work on progressing Cam Thomas’ playmaking abilities and have him be the leader of the offense on more sides than just scoring; have Spence be a 3rd option behind Cam and Mikal.

Thank you! I was hoping, someone will mention Dražen, so I don't have to do it :)

​@@tome_ivancevic čitam komentare i kontam isto ako nema da pišem hahaha

Portland has a long history of wasting talent, going back to when they made Walton play on a busted foot and basically ended his career.

Not possibly. He'll win MIP there's no debate

​@@gerritlullau8174 Guess you haven't been paying attention to Jalen Brunson.

@@DarkSideMaceWindu I did pay attention to him. I'd still give Markannen a slight edge over him

Yup, was gonna say the same.

​@@DarkSideMaceWindu Brunson wasnt traded , he is an RFA

Jermaine O’Neil is one of my favorite players I discovered when looking up NBA history. Good post player.

With the Magic you saw flashes but the move to Detroit sprung him talent wise.

Young NBA fans who are bandwagon garbage don't understand that Jermaine O'Neal was traded for Dale Davis who had good defense on Shaq

@@loveofmangos001 I'd heard of Davis. Came across him and Rik Smits when looking up the 2000 Pacers team that faced the Lakers. I had a feeling that he could have been who was traded because that finals was the last games of Smits' career, but I also wasn't sure because wasn't O'Neal a power forward and Davis a center? Sure those are both traditionally "big" positions, but I've heard the league cared about positions more in the 2000's and earlier.

​@@fortynights1513 defensively and offensively 💯💯 he from SC so is KG😂

Bro u can’t be serious

Victor Oladipo is gonna be in his prime soon 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@Willie._5k I’m 100% serious my guy. The 1st round between the Pacers and Cavs and playing 2K, are the things that got me into the NBA and why I’m still here enjoying it today and The Pacers are still my team and I’m loving the direction they’re heading in with Tyrese and Benedict Mathurin. So yes I’m serious Bro.

​@Hoodrich Willie we all start somewhere

The only thing I can agree with you is go Pacers, but Dipo left us like it was nothing, dude left for palm trees and barely even plays. He wants to be a singer

The bulls gave up the exact type of player they need smh

@I dipped Little correction: Bulls gave up ON him 😉 That's why he wanted out. He would never have developed to what he is now if he would have stayed in that system.

@@magicofshootingstar5825 it’s not a correction I said exactly that

@I dipped No, it was a joke 😅😂 You said they gave him up and I said they gave up on him. So on is trading him away and other is losing faith in him, different meanings 🙂

@@magicofshootingstar5825 yeah they hyped him up so much too during his rookie year which is why I was mad when they traded them, I still thought he had 20 ppg potential

Man im so mad my knicks passed on him in the draft I knew he was going to be good since Villanova

They r a good team now getting rid of all the drama with kd and kyrie ngl

Serious playoff minutes?? Fym this the only year the nets going to be anywhere near close the playoffs and that's cause of KD & Kyrie 😂😂 nets not going to no playoffs in 2024 beyond bubs

@@dogshxtgames3257 they have serious potential to be a good team.

@@cookingwitchefzayy8830 hey at least you ain’t Philly

you don't even need to look at all stars. Look at Nwora this year.

@@ilngsisfh Nwora hasn’t improved he’s still a negative whenever he’s on the floor just like he was for the bucks, he’s just putting up better stats

I mean we Are a Basketball State 😅We love our basketball

Haliburton was already playing like he is in the Kings, you just would see him less because he was a rookie/on his 2nd year and because of Fox.

The pace of the game was slower back then as well

Johnson was their scoring option over marion

I think the reason Andy excluded TMac and Chaucey is because he had made a video ''How good was TMac/Chaucey'', also TMac has featured like 7 times in his videos already so he might want to give us something new

The rockets traded steve Francis and cuttino mobley and Cato to the magic for t mac.

Sabonis was on 2 all star teams before going to the Kings, no way he belongs on a list like this

@@patrickhanlon2325 ya fr he ain’t been a role player since dipo

All three of those guys were power forwards correct?

Yes

Sheed was originally from the bullets

ah

Rasheed was already a star with the Blazers

Boris was solid but he never became a star lol

nah,,maybe "almost all star caliber". hes not even selected even as replacement atleast once,,,

Bad coaching

@@boonebeasley9622 kings were just deep. They had webber and Christie

He got injured most of his time there

@@utubebroadcaster he was injured in houston in orlando he barely missed games

Didn’t get traded

Not a role player

He already showed signs of becoming a star in SAC and Phoenix but when we went to boston he peaked

@@tj5180 IT wasn’t that recognized as Harden was cause that 7M per year contract didn’t lie. And he sucked in that 3PG Sac team considered to be a bench scorer.

This tbh. They are NBA players after all, of course not every player but most. Just look at the Heat.

whatever helps you and your star sleep better

He only makes players better when they’re not on his team 😂

That before and after pic of Olidipo shows NBA’s dark little secret; they are all on PED’s. The league doesn’t test for HGH or all year around. Nor do they do blood tests. Urine tests are super easy to beat. There are tons of ways to flush your system or mask drugs/steroids in urine. No way anyone goes from that before pic to that after pic in three(3) weeks without any pharmaceutical help.

You thought you had something there my g

@@mrpillows Wrong. Paul George, Bradley Beal, and KD can all attest to the fact that Russ brings the most out of his teammates. And ngl, even Kawhi Leonard can say that now.

Good numbers bad team, he was never an all star caliber player

Most players are probably capable of being stars but there are just not enough opportunities

Correct, but it was new jersey wasn't it?

@@xXryanleifursonXx well yeah, current brooklyn tho (nets either way)

I don't know about that bro, Dray has a very all around game. He isn't the most physically gifted player, like Steph, but has tremendous fundamentals and skills. If anything, in his rookie season he was being treated like Ben in Washington because he was a 23 yo rookie who spent 5 years in college. He eventually showed that his maturity under veteran coaching made him ready to start and be a star right away. They just had to give him a chance. He's just getting older and more settled into his role at this point in his career, but coming out of college, he was considered to be the start of his MSU team. Magic heavily touted him as being more deserving of respect as a skilled player and even went as far as to compare himself to him in the 2012 draft.

Facts

So brief though... Got traded to Boston and poof.
