2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[Mavs2021]

Sorry I didn't agree with you hard enough and hurt your feelings, (and I did say I agree with you) but there's no need to start whining with the overdramatic "I don´t get where you all find these numbers" stuff.

It's pretty simple and anyone who actually wondered where the numbers came from, instead of pretending that they are so hard to find and so obscure in an attempt to discredit the opinion of the person talking about them, because you don't like the conclusion they draw, could easily find them.

But I'll take you at your word that it's so hard.  Glad to help.

Here you go
- Go to Google.com
- search "Lauri Markkenan stats"
- in the top three to 5 results (probably top 1) from basketballreference.com
- then scroll down until you see the states I mentioned.

Repeat the same process, except search "Kristapps Porzingis stats"

I seriously don't understand the snark when then numbers are clearly there, but if you are going to start out acting all overdramatic (unless you are just trying to troll for fun, which I get, if things are slow), then I'm kind of stopping there and letting you go find a silo where people only agree with you.

Maybe Lauri is your hero and it really offended you that I didn't just automatically say he's Basketball Jesus or something, but I'm moving on.

Maybe I misread the numbers and if so please forgive me, but I don't think I did.

Carry on.

No I just asked a legit question to provide the actual numbers, you are referring to instead of just going full propaganda and just repeating the same old stuff, that all people do here.

I have done it. I literally provided you with the basketball reference stats in the post you just quoted. You just typed out a full page of blah, blah, blah, when it would have taken less time to actual produce the numbers (if they exist) or even do a whole YT video of Lauri Markkanen defensive lapses.

Is Dirk soft?
Is Dirk unathletic?
Is Dirk a play-off choker?
Is Dirk a bad defender?
Is Dirk a bad leader?
Is Dirk a bad rebounder?

ALL absolutely false. But everything that has been said about Dirk until 2011 and some is still being said about Dirk to this day. It was all BS, but that did not stop the media from repeating it over and over until it became fact.

Even the evidence like many of the advanced stats are suspect.

If I believe DRPM for example, then Julius Randle was the 3rd best defensive player in the league this year. Last year he was not even in the top 250.

So did Randle suddenly make the leap of the century or is Thibs simply the greatest defensive coach the NBA has ever seen?

Also interesting in that regard.

In 2019/2020 Reggie Bullock had the same DRPM as JJ Barea (#271 in the league). In 2020/2021 he was 7th in the whole league. So let´s hope we get the 2021 version and not the Thibs-less 2020 version.
