Re: NBA Offseason Moves & News Discussion (PG 1 - Updates)
HM you didn't really touch on either guy's "skill sets"
Noah has a much higher ceiling offensively and is much more likely to give you 15-20 point games than Andy because Noah already has superior IQ and marginally better post work/foot work. At least Noah went through college being somewhat of a "go to guy" meaning he had to feel comfortable with catching the ball near near the goal with his back against the basket.
To keep it short and simple, Noah is already the player Andy is and better at a much younger age. I'm talking offensively for sure, defensively it's probably a wash for now but I'd take Noah anyway in that department. Andy makes it 4 on 5 on offense while Noah steadily won't be a liability.
I'm a little cautious about giving these guys these contracts but in the end I can't hate.
Now in Andy's case it's much worse because Cleveland is garbage without LeBron. I could definitely understand paying Andy knowing that my team is going to compete for a title, because every title teams needs that guy, but now that they have no shot it's like... we're stuck with a pretty high paid garbage man who is a liability on offense.
Which brings up another point: sometimes the best "garbage guy" is the hardest to figure out because you're paying him off pure effort and hustle once you pay him who knows what he'll do because he has limited skills. And you had better hope your team stays intact or else you're stuck with him.
Noah IMO has the potential to develop into something more than Andy ever will but the ceiling is definitely set on him... maybe a few All-Star games in the future I don't see much more than that.
