Nik Stauskas & Sauce Across The World Tour

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
His shooting touch is so heavy. If it doesnt swish no way it goes in.

He sucks, but we need a standstill shooter. No way he should start.
 
I liked him as a prospect coming out of College. I hate Michigan and hated him in college. But maybe he saves his career here. If a guy like Joe Harris can become a solid rotation player in the NBA I don't see why Nik can't.
 
All I’ll ever think about when I see this guy is Vivek on draft night making them chant “Nik Rocks” and him saying he shoots like Steph but big like Klay. Assessment was slightly off.
 
Philly got rid of him a little over a year ago when they were desperate for 3 point shooting.

His last full year in Philly he actually shot 40 percent from 3 and 39 percent from the field. He has potential to hit threes. Just lacks in every other area. But its still better then Hood who just lacked everything and never gave any effort.
 
Koby is so bad.

Tons of desperate teams @ deadline that would have punted a late first.

Who cares about Nik and Wade and those two seconds. Get some value man

I think Hood's small contract number made it hard to just move him alone. It was such a small chance we would move him for a bad contract. Also no bird rights hurts his value.

Koby might flip Stauskas for another small asset. Maybe Koby thinks we can give Stauskas away if we need the roster spot or the additional cap space if we get dangerously close to the luxury tax. It could just be audition for Stauskas since we do need someone who can catch and shot.
 
Reality for Stauskas is I doubt he's on the roster long. I could see them attempting to flip him for a second to someone ahead of the deadline if there's a team that remembers his sharp shooting at Michigan. I highly doubt it'll happen, but a playoff team with a second in the 50-60 range might take a shot since the salary is low.

I was thinking the same thing. Also Koby might want the 2nd round picks to grease the wheels on some other trades. With Hood having to give approval, it's hard to trade him at the last moment. Most teams have some sort of trade exception to just absorb someone on Stauskas's contract size.

Koby can now focus on moving Burks and Clarkson. Maybe he has a bigger trade for in mind with TT.

Even if you buy a first rounder, you have to trade something more than cash for it.

Think about Boston. If Kyrie stays, they are a tax team and every first rounder that signs is more money under the tax. So what do they do this year with four first rounders? Ainge likes to hold onto those assets, but I suspect eventually he'll be forced to move some of them for something. I'm not sure ownership will love having four more first rounders.

But there are other teams. Many of the 25-30 picks are held by teams in tax. So cash and a couple of second rounders may appeal to some of them. $2-3M and 2 2nd rounders can get you into the first round.

Remember how we got Cedi. We got two 2nd rounders to move back a couple of slots. I think you have to send cash if it's not in the same season.
 
Stauskas is practically irrelevant. He is barely going to play most likely unless Delly can make him look good. He is a min guy.

No use thinking about him much. They may try to use him as a spacer, nothing more.

I think you try to flip him for a latter second and then either bench him or cut him.
