2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[hakeemfaan]

I hated. absolutely hated JJB for many years. It was a pure bias due to his height and my feeling that you could not win a title with this guy. I overlooked the fact that the guy belonged in the NBA. We talk about heart and other intangibles, but  IMO I feel now it comes to processing things quickly in your head and seeing options a split second before the defense does.  JJB had that.  His inconsistency in shooting kept him from having an even better career than he had ( and he had a fine career) more than his height limitations. 

Reason I say this is I was upset at the JB pick to now flat out enjoying watch the guy play. He is so I ncredibly crafty that he can do this for a long time to come. IMO it is not about whether he perfectly complements Luka or not.  He can play and can absolutely be a key piece on a title run. 

If we are going to give him up I might be ok if they can get rid of THJ in the process Else No. Even if they can get rid of THJ..I would still lean towards a No. We have given up Barnes,Seth, Delon and really didn’t get better talent Talent that can play with the big boys is not easy to find. JB has that. Sign him even if it’s a bit too pricey and then worry later. Currently he is the clear 2nd best player on the roster.
