The series against the mavs kinda massively shows his weaknesses, that he was effectively benched for the most of the series. No point of showing those stats when he can barely achieve them through the playoffs. If anything Bulls lost this trade by a massive margin that it questions if Giddey will even be a starter next season.

@hestilllives192
@hestilllives192 6 күн бұрын
Nah, Clingan is the exact opposite of what they need. Chet is and will continue to be a Center, so what they need is to pair him with a big wing or shooting big that can play PF. They should just take DaRon Holmes at #12 as a backup 4/5, and make a move with their $30m in capspace and 1st's for the new starting PF.

@@Christopher._Mbruh holiday is one of the best on ball defenders in the league. There is no way Dort and Caruso are both better. As far as off ball goes white is the best and holiday is no worse than 3rd in this group of 4.

@@WLJ1287have you actually watched caruso and dort? I don't think you actually have. They are both better on ball defenders than the current holiday. If this was 3 years ago or at his peak I wouldn't argue with you but I have watched caruso and dort do things on ball for a whole game that holiday hasn't done in years. Holiday off ball is better than dort and Caruso. Holiday is better at navigating screens than dort specifically but also slightly better than caruso. But on ball defenders I think Caruso and dort are better at this moment. White is probably the best off ball out of the four of them. If you want to debate that holiday and white are still better overall defenders I hear you but not on the ball. In terms of on ball defense white is probably last or 2nd to last.

I think the Thunder saw how impactful Jrue Holiday and Derrick White were in the playoffs and they said Ight let’s recreate that here with Dort and Carsuo because now if you look at Boston and OKC the way they are constructed are really similar position by position all really OKC is missing is they’re al Horford they need to get a big like hartenstein

Chet needs to get stronger cuz he gets easily bodied by bigger guys like Kristaps since he's only 207 lbs. Hartenstein is a good rebounder/hustler, but he can't score like Horford. Big Jaylin Williams has to become that Al Horford type cuz he's a good enough shooter but awful defender. And ain't no way you actually think that SGA is better than Jayson Tatum. I may not like the Celtics, but that doesn't even make a lick of sense.

I think they're forgetting that they aren't in the eastern conference. Their team of perimeter defenders (now more so with the Caruso trade) may almost perfectly match into boston minus Porzingis, but they still need to make it out the West. Don't get me wrong, they are so much better built for a championship than the timberwolves who were only built to beat the Nuggets (and as a byproduct, the suns when healthy).
