It doesn't matter now. We won't trade the BKN pick w/o LeBron giving his blessing that he'll stay. And he own't do that. And we're pretty light on other valuable things to trade unless Osman starts getting minutes and showing flashes.

I guess once they decided to trade for Cousins, you're all in.

So, to me, it was worth unloading Asik and including a good draft pick to do it. Light protection, or potentially even unprotected.

Imagine they do that and then they, not Detroit, absorb Avery Bradley.

And I know that's with hindsight, but that's what they needed to do. Take risks, cause they already took one with the Cousins move.

Speaking of shooting MIN should have really looked at a true shooter in FA instead of Gibson and J Crawford(1st game hot take)

Think we ned to give that a lot of careful consideration if it becomes an option. And I mean carefully considering whether it's worth it and a good fit. Because Love or DMC are not coming off the bench. And just wonder about the ability to play two big guys like that on defense against GSW/HOU/OKC. Not o mention his temperament, reliability, and contract status

I have Direct TV. I'm gonna get League Pass from him on Friday and see if it's legit. I'm sure it is though. This same guy gets me GameStop coupons up to $50 off of games. $20 will get you $50 worth of GameStop coupons. I haven't paid full price for a $60 game in two years.

He also has NFL Sunday Ticket for $30. His stuff has been legit for two years.

It is difficult to try to imagine how it would all fit if DMC were to be acquired. He hasn't played with ball-handling playmakers of the caliber of IT or LeBron.

His numbers against GSW are not great, other than his BPG and, that he is a surprisingly great passer against them averaging 6.3 assists last year. But he is also limited by how GSW can play him due to NOP being such a bad team.

In terms of his game, there simply aren't many centers who can shoot 36% from 3PT, pass as well as he does, rebound, bully in the post and protect the rim.
 
I don't think Boston is that worried. This may be a blessing in disguise, yeah this year will be lost but it gives their young blu-chippers great experience to come into their own under a good coach.

I am very high on Jaylen Brown and he actually reminds me of a young RJ. Maybe higher as you can clearly see All-Star level talent when you watch him play. Rozier and Smart don't have the same ceiling but Rozier in general could end up being a decent defender if he puts on the weight.

Haven't seen Tatum play (don't watch a lot of college ball) but he looked comfortable in our game and it was his very first. When Morris comes back, you slide Brown and Tatum back to the 2&3 and go from there.
 
The Wolves have talent. I would love to see them play GSW in the first-round.

I think with the other talent around him, KAT would present a problem for the Warriors forcing them to play big. I think it would behoove the Cavs to watch closely the regular season match-ups between GSW and MIN on NOV 8th and JAN 25th.

Perhaps it can serve as a proxy on how DMC might best be utilized against the Warriors given that the Pelicans are the mirror opposite of how the Cavs are built.

Edit: Cousins had 7 blocks tonight. Wow.
 
Minny is a shitty organization and I hope KAT and Butler leave.

Them signing Wiggins to that stupid contract, and not trading him. They don't deserve to be a winning team if they can't see the limits of their roster.

Wiggins and Butler will never work.

He's having a good shooting night, but this experiment is going to be strange.

Lol KAT is on his rookie contract. He's going to be there for a very long time to come.
 
Do ya'll play fantasy basketball? I'm playing more this year than ever. It's way less riskier than NFL. I usually only play the Millionaire Maker and the Sunday Night Special for football. It seems way easier to win playing NBA.
