Do you now view him as a franchise player? Has he played himself into the MVP conversation? Is he a generational talent that needs to be used differently than spoelstra has been? Has he been held back and is actually generational greatness potential? How much would you trade for Bam right now?
God no, good god no, LOL no, absolutely not, wouldn't trade much for him as he's getting close to 30 and is making 50+ mil a year the next couple
I would trade all our young talent and 4 firsts for him. bam is probably better than Wemby and Jokic but underutilized. 83 is insane
I feel like it was more about the Wizards being bad than Bam being a great offensive player, although he's certainly a good offensive player. If anything, I think his production is being inflated by playing in the East for one of the best coaches in recent NBA history. I would probably trade Sengun for him straight-up because Bam's fit on our team would be a lot better. That's about as far as I'd go. I don't think that gets it done though. I doubt Miami would trade him without getting a true superstar back.
I remember the idiots on here laughing at the idea of trading Sengun for Bam lol. Every GM in the nba would make that trade
Nope. I don’t consider scoring some obscene number of points to be impressive in and of itself…shocking sure but it isn’t like he’s a great scorer all of a sudden….
Really good 2-way player. Elite on D, good on O. Deservedly a perennial All-Star. The Gary Payton of the big men in the modern era. Not really a superstar (probably one elite offensive skill away from it), but definitely a massively impactful winning player.
I’m sure you would, unfortunately he doesn’t get to play the wizards every game. If he’s better than jokic then amen is better than giannis!
What kind of question is that? Do you suddenly change your view about a 28-year-old player after just one game?
No. I don't think Klay Thompson was a franchise player and he could score a ton. I don't know if that's my revisionist bias because of how Klay has played post injury and since he always had other dominant players with him in GS. But to me you trade him to keep Curry in a heartbeat -- which doesn't make him much of a franchise guy. Never got to see if he could be that guy really.
