I don’t understand how some people get jobs covering basketball.

…Barnes was a second year player at age 21.. how is he remotely close to his ceiling
kpeds45
Don’t know who these guys are.
Zestyclose-Beach1792
I get it. The thought of what a fresh new player could possibly be, rather than what someone already is will usually be more enticing.
Jalen Green went 2 in the draft… would you trade the #2 pick for him? The #3 pick?
Probably not… probably gonna draft Scoot or the guy who loans his guns out instead.

Apparently you either develop into an All-Star MVP candidate in your second season in the league like Ja or you’ve reached your ceiling.
damorec
Just as raps fans overrate him, it’s natural for someone who focuses on another organization would underrate him. You’re telling me if Miller or god forbid scoot is at 4 you wouldn’t think about it? I 100% would.

This guys a fucking imbecile. Ten seconds in you know he’s a casual pretending to see something we don’t. Fuck outta here Douglas!
QueasyDrummer00
Ask him the same thing about Jalen Green. And his buddy who agrees right away with that statement because I have news for them if they think Jalen Green provides more value on an NBA court than Scottie Barnes does.
Salty_Concentrate666
Why does every white guy with a coif think he’s JJ Redick. Bums.
Rhyging-007
Hmm a 4th pick that turned into a ROTY Vs. an unproven 4th pick.
Why are these podcasters so fucking stupid?

Why are we giving idiots attention?

I wouldn’t trade Scottie Barnes for the 4th pick either. Feelings mutual I guess, lol.
whyareucryan
Way too many people just talk.
fredvancleef
this is a wild take lmao saying a 2nd year player has “reached their ceiling” let alone a 2nd yr player averaging 15/6/5 as the 4th option is so smooth brain

What do you expect from locked on podcasts?

“Scottie is at his ceiling” 🤣🤡
tercet
Good rational take unlike raptors who just stick their head in the sand and continue to ignore how bad of a shooter Barnes has been and probably will continue to be.

Imagine the Lakers considering to trade away Kobe Bryant for a draft pick when he had identical points per game in his sophomore season…

It’s gonna be really funny if the Rockets package Jalen + 4th pick for a player and then Barnes outplays that player this year
Ssstanimal
These dudes spent all this time setting up a podcast to say this💀
BeefySwan
Can’t tell if they’re purposely making ridiculous takes to get engagement or are actually just really stupid
BlademasterFlash
If you’re really lucky, that 4th pick will turn into a better player than Scottie Barnes!
shiftydnm
His brain needs to be studied
OG_Wan_Annunoby
Barnes is less than a year older than Brandon Miller btw
echoshep
I think it’s a legit question to ask if you’d trade Scottie for the 2nd, even the 3rd pick. I’d personally say no, but I do think there’s a reasonable argument to be made in favour. Absolutely not for the 4th pick. This draft has a clear top 3, and everyone after that is muddled. There are a lot of great players in this draft, but only 3 “sure fire” stars, or as sure fire as any prospect can be
vsha1989
Imagine saying a 21 year old, who won rookie of the year and hasn’t even started his 3rd season in the league has already hit his ceiling lmao these guys are trash
n3moh0es
so what this means nothing. most ppl aren’t high on scottie so what no need to become victims as always on here lol
AlwaysAttack
WTF? Who would? What stupid click bait!
BurzyGuerrero
IDK why any of you would think any other subreddit or fanbase would think that any of our players have value given the way we talk about them
“Siakam isn’t a number 1” – why should other teams give up the house then?
“OG hasn’t developed” – “He’s only a 3 and D guy, not worth it”
All these trade arguments are them just regurgitating shit that’s posted about our own guys on these subs.
2Shizo2flow
These are the real nephews of the NBA realm. If it’s not highlight reel worthy they don’t know.
Umbrella_Ella_Ella11
I promise raptors would never even touch that trade
Barnicus53
Literally none of this matters since they have no influence in the front office. I don’t understand why people obesess and care about these dumb opinions.
sh00ner
Between this and all the trade ideas coming from their writers in Houston, there’s gotta be something in the water down there.
midnightmunchiez
Jackson Gatlin’s ability to analyze basketball must have also peaked when he was 21.
guardian416
Imo there’s no logical argument where this makes sense. If you were going to trade Scottie, it should be for an older player that makes you a win now team.
You guys complain about Scottie’s shooting but will take amen Thompson who can’t shoot.
Scottie hate has become so irrational and you guys will just turn on whoever the 4th pick is.
Drifter747
That’s idiotic. Proven talent. Can we look back to their mock drafts to see where they ranked scottie and others?
Nat_Feckbeard
I mean I guess I could see their pov if they think one of Miller, Scoot, or Amen is available there and they’re that high on them. then they completely went off the deep end lol
BelterWelter
I can be delusional too, I wouldn’t trade Scottie for the 1st pic
ImmaFunGuy
Let’s not pretend raptors fans / media don’t overvalue their player. Some of the FVV/GTJ/Precious takes here just a year ago were wild

Scottie Barnes is a basketball player… but a 4th round pick could be anything!
