Nerlens is significantly better at defense and rebounding than both McGee and Powell. Are you arguing that he's not?

Im just telling you its a moot point because he fn sucks. We don't need an insignificantly better backup to be insignificantly better for 8 mins a game max. If it's a throw in to match salaries to get Bogs, then whatever, but he is more likely to be eating hot dogs on the bench than playing meaningful basketball. It's a starting Center and coaching problem more than back up center problem.

No disrespect intended but
A) I?d take any upgrade over Powell playing 35 minutes and getting 1 rebound. People shit on Powell (for good reason) but then don?t want an upgrade that would come cheap?

2) Noel has better rebounding and defensive numbers than Powell (who everyone hates and is one of the reasons we?re 25th in defense and 30th in rebounding) and McGee (who is 35 and getting DNPed)

There is no argument other than bluster to not get Noel at the bargain price he?s going to fetch. Pistons are just terrible and have no guards and are prioritizing Isaiah Stewart. Decent players that can?t get playing time are the exact players we need to target.

None taken. Again, the point is if Powell is on the team, Nerlens isn't starting over him or logging more mins. You have to kill him or trade him to change things. Coach is to blame for Powell sucking on the floor, FO is to blame for not having a better option.

Nerlens doesn't move the meter and if you need to see it again here to believe it then so be it, just get the hot dogs ready.

Then we move Powell. Problem solved. I can't imagine the FO not trying to shop Powell at this point unless he really does have nudes of Cuban with a hooker.

Cuban's buddy, said it a million times. Cuban is a piece of crap and doesn't really care about the betterment of the team.
