As if I needed any more proof to support my hypothesis that Paul Millsap is ruining the Nuggles, I present to you: EXHIBIT 38A THAT PAUL MILLSAP IS RUINING THE NUGGLES:
Jerami Grant scored 19 this game. Michael Porter Jr. scored 20. Torrey Craig scored 2. Juancho Hernangomez scored 0. The combined production of the Nuggles’ forwards (41) way surpasses anything that Millsap would be able to do by himself. That’s because Millsap is a walking toilet bowl of suckage who lowers the ceiling of the team and takes up a grotesque amount of cap space that could have been used in a wiser manner.
Remember when Trey Lyles looked like a good basketball player (for the only time in his career) when Millsap went out with injury and he got a bigger role? The same exact thing is happening with Jerami Grant, except we already knew that Grant was a good basketball player. You could trade Millsap to the Celtics as a Horford replacement and the Nuggles wouldn’t even have to get any good players in return, they would get better just be replacing Millsaps’ minutes with Grant and MPJ and Craig (who is so marginalized right now that I’m surprised he hasn’t demanded a trade).
Am I being serious right now? You tell me. From my perspective I am being serious as heck. All I know is that Grant had more dunks in this game alone than Milltrash has had in the past five seasons combined.
