Browns GM Andrew Berry consulted the Myles Garrett blockbuster trade with Thunder executive Sam Presti, per @AlbertBreer.
“Presti affirmed Berry’s resolve to prioritize getting a player and not just picks, taking him through the Paul George trade of 2019. Most folks on the outside focused on the four first-round picks and two additional first-round pick swaps Presti landed in the deal. But the reality was that OKC viewed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a player they were higher on than most, as the key. SGA has since won two MVPs and was the best player on a title team.”
Yes Shai was facing extreme coverages but he’s a back to back MVP lol he’s going to face stuff like that.
There were plenty of times were Shai had the opportunity to shoot mid-range pull ups and passed out of the shot in mid air.
People are mad and talking about the difference in coverages which is fair of course but some of yall are blinded in stan if you don’t think Shai passed out of a ton of mid-range jumpers that he simply should’ve shot throughout the series lol.
