With all the talk about trading Giddey aka sexiest man alive, I want to make one last case as to why it's a bad idea. If you watch the above video, it'll go into depth as to why he's valuable as a facilitator/passer. He is only 21 years old, so he has plenty of room to improve, and he is improving: he shot only 22% 3 pointers 2 years ago and improved a full 10% the next year. At that rate, he could be shooting at a 40% clip in a year or two. I think he would be great on the second unit. Instead of JDub facilitating, he should rest with Shai and let Giddey take the reigns.

Some of the trade proposals are just ridiculous because they don't make the team better in anyway. I'll use one example I've been hearing a lot: Mr. Egotistical Kuzma. This man was on the Lakers and he didn't even respect Lebron James. There's no way he's going to respect Shai. He's lazy on defense, and shooting 46% FG and 33% 3 pointers. Not only does Giddey shoot better (which defeats the purpose of trading for Kuzma in the first place), but he's an elite ball handler/facilitator. This is not the only proposal going around; some are outright ridiculous. It's almost like the Giddey haters want him gone just to get rid of him.

Some incredible stats:

17/13/14 43.8% @ DAL

24/4/8 52.6% @ SAC

20/6/10 50% @ UTA

23/6/8 57.1% @ BOS

28/11/12 50% @ NYK

31/10/9 63.6% @ CHA

If I told you a 2nd year 21-year-old had these stats, wouldn't you say he's an all star if these stats are consistent? Well, he played his best when Shai was out averaging a near triple double. I say give him another year, let him run the 2nd unit, and if it doesn't pan out, trade him. All this Giddey hate is nothing more than a knee-jerk reaction in my opinion.

P.S. You don't have a heart if that exit interview did not touch you in any way. Fire away. I have 2 cat photos lined up ready to go (for karma points).
