Today, it’s time to talk about what we saw.
Of course he is.
You have to take a swing at a player like George, even knowing the risks.
The other concern is probably the playoff production.
Since 2017, George has shot just 41/34% in 53 playoff game.
While a Clipper, those numbers were 42/34% in 38 playoff games.
Playoff P exists for a reason, and the reasons aren’t exactly because he dominates the postseason.
Given his playoff dropping history of Embiid as well, there’s certainly a question there too.
For starters, he knows how to throw an entry pass which cannot be overlooked.
Even if you think Paul is washed at this point, his basketball brain is just fine.
You know who helps with that?
Why couldn’t this be an OKC 2.0 situation?
Their depth was an issue.
The plan is to start Christain Braun at SG which is….a gamble.
For this Magic team, that’s obviously winning a round or two.
We all remember the Cavs series right?
They couldn’t shoot for shit and barely broke 90.
That’s what KCP is.
If you cannot respect the James Harden grift, I dunno what to tell ya.
You know what that means?
It means next summer we get to do this all over again with Harden.
Alright, why the hell am I including a Wizards move in this blog?
Because there are Wizards fans out there too!
Here’s what I’ll say about this deal.
For starters, the money is whatever.
Boom, that’s how you address a need baby!
Does it ultimately matter in the big picture?
The Mavs have made one thing clear after getting dog walked in the NBA Finals.
They clearly felt like their wing production wasn’t going to cut it.
That’s….not great.
Great job by Brad to keep his depth with proven champions.
The value signings are everything, and there are still a bunch of good players out there.
