Jayson Tatum is starting to look incredibly good of late. Boston fans must be delighted. On the prospecting side of things I bought a few of his base Prizms 6 weeks ago for around $12 on COMC. I flipped them for $16 and $17 respectively - a huge mistake. I then thought about buying back in at $23 but didn't do it - mistake number 2. His base prizms are now sitting at the $40 mark but given the way he is playing and his trajectory they are still cheap.
Also, how bad was Irving's influence on the Celtics and especially on Tatum's development? Answer: undeniably significant. And this leads me to the next point. Did the New York Knicks dodge the mother of all bullets when they failed to sign Kyrie and KD? Sure the pair would have made owner James Dolan a lot of money but would they have made the Knicks a serious contender? Kyrie is now out for the rest of this season. It will be very interesting to see how the Nets fare in the next few years. Did they mortgage their long term future by signing a locker room virus and a player who will be trying to rewrite the history books on those coming back from an achilles tendon injury? KD will be 32 when he makes his comeback and probably closer to 34 when he hits his peak again.
I'm not death riding the Nets. I love a cinderella story as much as anyone. If the Nets can contend in the next few years (ECF at a minimum) and win a title, I'd be as happy as the next neutral fan. However, at this point the idea of the Nets winning a chip with Irving and KD must be closer to a pipedream, rather than the serious possibility it was when they signed the pair.
P.S Buy Tatum
Whatya reckon fellas. Decent assessment?
