RCarr posted:Because it would be incredibly easy to fact check, and blatantly lying about the most popular basketball player of all time on national television for absolutely no reason would be really stupid. Also there’s zero evidence even hinting in the other direction? Do you need a signed statement from the reporter or what? They wouldn’t be lying about him. I don’t think you are fully aware of what’s being talked about

Spacebump posted:The funniest part about that is allegedly Gilbert wanted them to draft Dipo. I mean considering how badly Dipo sucked up to this year the result would be the same either way.

Dr.Radical posted:His lowest ppg average has been 13.8 points, he has always averaged over a steal a game, about 4 rebounds, and some assists. Are you just assuming that a player who doesn’t put up all star numbers sucks? Those stats are bad. He wasn’t even good as a role player as he wasn’t a great rebounder and can’t shoot. He finally got it together in Indy but no one thought he was good.

Dr.Radical posted:Eh I mean whatever. Dipo was never as bad as people pretend but if it makes you feel like a basketball genius to not admit it then that’s your jam and go on ahead I don’t think I’m a genius for understanding a bad player was bad. Especially when it’s obvious. I really wanted him to be good and am sad he couldn’t be good on the magic, but he just wasn’t. I do think this is an opportunity for you to learn that pure state aren’t a good indicator of anything tho.

Cool Buff Man posted:No, he was never a dogshit player, but he never even came close to living up to expectations up until this year. I think the vast majority of NBA fans had written him off as a meaningful contributor to a successful team, including his own successful team, so I was astonished and pleased to see him turn into a good Basketballman, and happy endings are all that matter Yeah that was my point he struggled hard and at best was a role player which was not what he was being played as. Something Cleveland would more than likely not hold onto. Just like Orlando.

Dr.Radical posted:Again, I never said he was a super star. When people say “considering how badly Dipo sucked” I take it to mean exactly what it says, “Dipo sucked badly.” Words actually mean things and I think that’s a dumb thing to say. He sucked dude.

Lockback posted:People on this board have super unrealistic expectations on how young athletic wings should play and generally favor guy who efficiently score even if they can't create poo poo. Half the posters would have cut DeRozan or Dipo and wonder why their roster of Cole Aldrich, Korver, and Mario Chalmers wasn't an offensive powerhouse. This also applies for the teams in the NBA as well. Though Dipo still isn’t considered a shot creator and I don’t think people ever realistically expected him to be that. Well Orlando did but their kind of dumb.

WhyteRyce posted:Wtf is with this historical revisionism when that PG13 trade went down it was uniformly regarded as Pritchard magic and how Indy got ripped off. No one thought Dipo was a really good player who would make a major leap. Even when he started playing well it was "lol he's only good in Indy" Fans in general tend to be rather revisionist. If a player gets better then it was always obvious and if not then it was obviously always doomed to failure.

SamuraiFoochs posted:Did literally anyone here ignore the last game as being an atrocious defensive outing? Saying "that's probably not indicative of their usual outings" isn't ignoring anything. That’s ignoring yes. Doesn’t make them wrong and based on how they usually play it’s actually correct but it’s still ignoring it.
