Sry, but why would the reds make that trade? Are we assuming they value Reese for some reason? I could see it as a possible salary-shedding move, but not when we’re including grich.

Yeah doesn’t really make sense why we haven’t seen a move like that in Atkins 5 years. The only thing Atkins has done to the CF position was let pillar walk. No plan to replace him what-so-ever. ...

It’s actually amazing how good of a defender FVV has developed into. I don’t think anyone would have predicted that when he was entering the league. Miraculous really.

Tbh he’s a few inches from...

Totally agree with this, and a quick look at the teams we have beaten this season should be all the proof anyone needs.

Lately the raps have been beating the zone with ball movement. The ball is zinging around and it’s beautiful to watch. I believe the raps had like 26 assists on 28 made baskets in the first half...

The non-stop 3’s have been starting to drive me crazy. At first it was interesting, but now it’s just getting silly and kind of boring.

Huh?

I definitely understand where you’re coming from.

The goal is to get boucher in the starting lineup, without removing all of the scoring punch/defensive reliability from the bench.

Imo:...

And I don’t think that should stop. (I assume Barton agrees, we’ve been on the same page this season).

However - ideally Powell can contribute similarly to FVV to start the game, boucher should...

I don’t disagree with anything here, but if they traded a spec for a top100 CF spec it would be a “more successful” offseason.

If all we end up doing all offseason is adding bauer and JBJ then...

100%. This should have happened a while ago imo. I don’t think Fred would really be butt hurt about coming off the bench, and he would be in the running for 6th man of the year.

Well first off, I’m putting limited stock into last seasons numbers. Pillar would have come out an all star if every season was only a few months long.

I feel like JBJ has hit his ceiling with...

I would prefer a CF that has room to grow with the core. JBJ won’t be better, and could be worse.
If we land bauer and springer doesn’t want to cum then I’d feel ok with a trade for a younger CF.

But with a top pick this year, it could not be an ongoing challenge.

And by closer I mean a player that I would feel confident in taking or creating that last shot down 1 point with 10 seconds. ...

The ball movement we’ve seen lately has me a little concerned that what I’m about to say will come back to bite me in the ***...
But I don’t think this team is a contender with a decent (average)...

Let’s hope for less kamikaze slides lol.

I’m actually surprised the theory is beyond you. Seems pretty basic and you are an intelligent guy.

Ahhh ok I see.

The reason that team-building theory has become popular is because it has been working. Cubs, astros, hell - even the dodgers.
Building a nice wave of cheap talent and adding...

What else could we ask for. You can see the weight loss in his face. Gj vlad.

It’s all about when that 1st is. Not this seasons.
End of the day, I would rather acquire a 1st then send one out at this point.

Imo the only big FA that could have saved our season was Wood. He would have formed a good big rotation with siakam and boucher.

Other than wood, this was always going to be transition year.

That atkins pays too much in arbitration?

Sry, you’re confusing me with someone else. I don’t even pay attention to arb numbers. If they’re tendered, they’ll be back next season. That’s where...

Hope it’s not directed at me. Idgaf about Rogers money.

I don’t think some catchers and mid level specs would get Castillo, and I do not want them trading any top specs outside of groshans personally.

It’s a young team, but not very good overall. Ideally these FA signings can propel us into that good range.
