HazletonEagle Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I wonder about Covington and Harry Giles (after 2/5 trade eligible) For Danny Green and a 2nd or two. Cap relief for Portland without having to give up one of their 2 star back court players. And, its almost replacing Covington's entire skillset for the immediate term if they really think they can try to contend this season. We would still have Ben... but Green/Covington swap improves the lineup. Giles isnt a shooter. May be a better player than Scott. But if he just isnt working due to spacing, its a small expiring deal that can be bought out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stop dribble and jump pass is what he does. They doubled him below the FT line and anticipated his jump pass kickout. Its no one's fault but Bens that he has no handle to navigate this situation better. Keep the dribble alive, shuffle back to create space, drive if it opens up, or find a place to swing it. Dont just jump and hope someone is there. Also, I said when we signed Dwight that this was going to be a bad pairing on the court. As you try to stagger Joel and Ben's time to minimize their time on the court together, its going to lead to more Ben and Howard together, which is even worse. 2 guys who cant from outside of arms reach of the rim. Dwight is a nice backup center. Ben has got to go. The book was out on Simmons last year when Lebron made a complete ass out of him by not even playing him at all . The guy gets flat out disrespected and he still does nothing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, Young can't guard a wet paperbag and is a worse version of Harden on the offensive end. Collins already called him out this year for playing selfish.

Sounds like the type of player that might become available in a trade. I'm not sure how you match salary in a Ben for Young trade though. At work now... without looking at a trade simulator, Atlanta is full of young talent. It would likely take a bunch of players added in on cheap contracts to eventually match salary. And they're the kind of players Atlanta won't just view as throw ins. I think they'd be a tough trade partner for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they'd be a tough trade partner for us. Young isn't going anywhere. That is silly to even ponder. The team basically traded Luka for him, and have bought in guys around him to fit his style of play. Reddish/Hunter as 3 and D guys, Huerter/Bogdanović as the slasher/shooter, Rondo/Danio as vets, Capela to be defensive stopper and pick and roll guy. Collins is the odd man out and probably will be traded since he turned down an extension for the max. Also, Young is literally one of the worst defender in the league. People think Harden is selfish, ball hog, doesn't play defense. Well Young is worse. Shot 32% from 3 his rookie year, 36% last year, and 26.5% this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the opposite of ben. Offense and no defense with issues with the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is uber talented but not at all worth the headache In August of 2020, he was accused of punching a woman in the face. In November of 2020, he was arrested following a one-car crash and had a loaded handgun in the vehicle. Despite the pair of off-court incidents over the offseason, Porter came back to the Cavs' facility on Dec. 7, going through individual workouts with Bickerstaff with assistant coaches Sam Jones and Josh Estes. Porter even participated in a full-team practice on Dec. 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
