I don’t think he’s suggesting that. He’s simply saying Roby looks like an NBA player. Maybe he was worth more as an asset than a giveaway.

I don't doubt he's an NBA player. Mavs are overrun with guys who can potentially play 5-15 minutes.

I just don't think he's a good or starting-caliber NBA player and that's what the Mavs are short on.

Remains to be seen. He’s only in his second year. Chances are better he’ll never be anything great, but that’s true of most players. He looks like a rotation contributor right now. Its never bad to have low cost young talent around. Most flame out, while some turn into Finney-Smith or Royce O’Neal. He’s already seemingly showing more than DFS did in his second year thus far. He clearly has some talent, now it’s about reps and hard work. I’d rather have Roby than Iwundu.

He seemed to double down on it in the gdt.

But you're still missing the point which actually isn't too shocking.

It's not a real shock why people don't post here anymore. Such a beating.

Lol. I specifically asked you if that was what you were saying, because I wasn’t sure. You didn’t answer, so I guess I’m still missing it.

Came up with this trade to jumpstart the rebuild in Minnesota:
https://tradenba.com/trades/CB7BPHLEV

MIN trades KAT, Jake Layman, and Naz Reid to ATL for De'Andre Hunter, Onyeka Okongwu, Kevin Huerter and Tony Snell (salary anchor), plus OKC 2022, ATL 2022, and ATL 2024. Maybe include the odd-year pick swaps and such too, and Minnesota also has some other lower-salaried guys like Josh Okogie you could add or swap in.

I think the D'Angelo Russell was the Wolves firing their last bullet in trying to build around KAT, and I think it's been a disaster. The Hawks get the best offensive center in basketball to pair with Trae and John Collins.

What do you guys think? Any better options/destinations for Towns?
