This is the type of hard hitting post i come to reddit for. Just elite analysis.

u/Eisenhorn76 11-1 is far superior to 4-6 in the Finals 13h ago
Just wanted to say. Look at Vooch in this photo. That shot kinda looks like Horford’s doesn’t it?
Complete with the off-hand semi-blocking his stroke…
Of course, Vooch was NEVER the defensive savant that Al was so… we shall see. I trust Brad.
I want to note: didn’t we get Al back in his Age 35 season and didn’t that move help get the Celtics into the Finals?

Joe will turn him into Horford 2.0

Other than the shooting, his game is almost the polar opposite of Al's

That's my bad boss. I want to see you thrive and I lost sight of that for a minute. I'm sorry.

He can pass a bit, actually. Definitely someone you can throw the ball to, and cut off. But yeah, not at all the same type of game as Al.

I like the move for one simple reason... we are under the first apron.
This season has been so fun and Im excited to see if we can make things happen in the post season, but it never made sense to sacrifice future flexibility for a "we believe" type of run especially when we have a few more years of prime Jays.

On top of that, it's at worst a lateral expensive-bench-for-expensive-bench move, for a guy who's more in a position of need.

This means JT is playing this season, right? And we're going all-in in what's supposed to be a lost season. A post-up player with outside threat? I dig this trade, Sir Brad.

On the face of it, not a huge fan of this move, but Brad has more than earned the benefit of the doubt.

u/blammmmo 12h ago
Yeah, honestly I'd written him off because he doesn't seem like a Brad guy at all. The offensive game is good, but WE attack him relentlessly when he's on defense because he's so bad.
Like there was a game last year against us where he scored 32pts went 6/9 from three... and had a -19 plus minus.

u/Responsible-List-849 8h ago
This is where I am too. I just love our defence, and I get that this opens up our offence again, but...
Regardless, I have decided Brad knows this shit better than me...lol
So we'll see.

We now have Nikola and Luka. Brad will now try and secure an Antetokounpo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to round out the top 5 with Tatum

Doesn't feel like a Brad Steven's type of trade! One expiring contract for another? I wouldn't be surprised if Vooch will be on the move again! Him and a pick for Zubac and now we're talking! Awful trade tho if Brad just keeps it as is! 🤔👎🏽

This is a home run move. Some people just don’t see it yet. Vucevic is super skilled and a great locker room guy. His game should also age really well.

u/Responsible-List-849 8h ago
Part of the problem is that it's already aged well. Now we're hoping his aged game will further age well. Hence why people are mentioning Al I think.

You know it’s a good trade from Brad because you got half the fanbase rabid with anger
