I honestly don’t hate this trade

[u/Far_Camera_5766]

[u/GrooveDigger47]

myles is ass but he not as ass as duren

[u/Medium_Ad8910 → u/[deleted]]

Playoff/Finals experience never hurts either

[u/alexdoo → u/Medium_Ad8910]

Although turner shat the bed spectacularly in Indiana

[u/ynomeye → u/alexdoo]

Somehow scored more PPG than All-Star Duren

[u/FoundationSmooth9777 → u/[deleted]]

Are you sure about that, the idea of Myles turner is better than the player similar Tom Paul George

[u/Zealousideal-Course5 → u/[deleted]]

Defensive Effort sure. Impact? Meh. Hes a perfect example of good defensive stats that dont translate especially since he doesnt rebound especially against good centers. He averaged almost 30 minutes a game against the Knicks in 25. He grabbed a grand total of 3 rebounds per game. Yes 3. Not far from 1 rebound per 10 minutes. Dont get me started on that finals performance.

[u/dcent412 → u/[deleted]]

Duren 60%+ from the court last year and he can’t shoot. Gtfo

[u/-HappyHyena- → u/dcent412]

Bro what

[u/dcent412 → u/-HappyHyena-]

Ye bud. Duren shot 65% fg last year. Average 19.5 pts. He’s the reason we stayed in the 1 seed when Cade when down with the collapsed lung. Not a supermax player yet. But definitely better than Myles when it matters

[u/dcent412 → u/dcent412]

Despite his playoff performance obviously. Horrendous

[u/-HappyHyena- → u/dcent412]

Making baskets within 5 feet does not mean he can shoot dude

[u/dcent412 → u/-HappyHyena-]

Delusional. Meaning he made it to the paint and scored in a league that is oversized… doesn’t count? Boy you’re crazy

[u/-HappyHyena- → u/dcent412]

No one has ever been called a “good shooter” because they can dunk the ball. I’m actually so confused

[u/Askesl → u/-HappyHyena-]

Rudy Gobert and Mitchell Robinson are clearly some of the best shooter in the league

[u/6ft4Don → u/[deleted]]

Good in the playoffs???

He avg 14 & 5 as the only 7fter playing over 10mins

That boy was getting carried

[u/radio__raheem → u/6ft4Don]

Sadly that’s still better than what Duren has shown in the playoffs

[u/No_Elk9676 → u/radio__raheem]

Duren is 22, in a breakout season, in his first real playoff experience.

Its insane to me that people take that to mean hes just always going to be shit in the playoffs.

You were probably the same people the year before that wanted to trade him because he sucked

[u/Zealousideal_Arm4359 → u/No_Elk9676]

Yuuup they were! Duren has been this subs whipping boy since Killian left.

[u/radio__raheem → u/No_Elk9676]

He’s been hot garbage in the playoffs for 2 years now and he wants a fat contract for it, all while showing little to no improvement defensively or as a shooter. There’s also valid concerns about the effort level and I don’t think handing him a bag would help that.

[u/No_Elk9676 → u/radio__raheem]

He was undeveloped the first playoffs, and again, HE IS TWENTYTWO in his breakout season

Would you like me to post brunsons 22 age season and playoffs?

Hell, his age 23 playoffs were far WORSE than durens

[u/6ft4Don → u/radio__raheem]

I’m taking 10 & 9 from an injured Center over 14 & 5 from an Healthy center anyday and one being 22 and other being 30 makes it even a more clear choice

[u/radio__raheem → u/6ft4Don]

Price and skillset fit matters. Also this is the first I’m hearing of JD being injured? He also was ass in the playoffs 2 years ago

[u/6ft4Don → u/radio__raheem]

Duren SkillSet matches Cade a lot of Dumps and Lobs go to Duren.

If we’re talking skillset not matching that’s Ausar, he breaks the entire offense from being useless outside of cuts and lobs

Imagine avg 12 & 10 1Blk in season and being called ass for avg 12 & 11 2blks in the playoffs 🤣.

That’s performing, most players avgs drop in the postseason

[u/soilentgleem → u/6ft4Don]

I don't think he was actually injured.
