Future lineup of Cade, Ivey, Bey, Duren, Wemb would be filthy
Cade bulked up with 20lbs of muscle and when your 20 that throws the body out of kilter.
More stress on legs. This movie plays out over and over.
Edwards on Minny just got fat. WE talking the no. 1 pick last year.
WE think grass is always greener. Its not.
Other teams have issues.
Pistons sucked with or without Cade.
Minny and Clev have issues but so early and its not about even just one season for them. Clev has to round out its roster. If Rubio can return well that takes minutes off Garland and DM.
Minny has fit and diet issues. Strong on paper roster needs time. D’angelo Russell is not fitting and Edwards ate too much popeyes (says KAT).
I don’t see them making a move this year but KAT for Randle and Drose and the WTF cadre of picks is interesting.
Small sample but put Russell next to Brunson for Evan/IQ and resign russell for a reasonable price. There is an chemistry thing with him on minny, like Evan here with Knicks. Evan with Gorbert, his French National teammate.
Russell needs time with Bryant to sort it out. Kid has talent and is over paid.

If Minny decides to unload Kat, I think they will want to recoup some of the picks they unloaded for Gobert. We have the picks to off-load...If Minny continues to struggle, I do think Kat is the next logical target for out front office especially with the Kentucky and CAA ties.

Truth be told, I think Gobert (as a Mitchell Robinson replacement) would be more appealing than KAT. KATs a basketball-idiot and don't think he'd be worth the loss of assets it'd take to get him. At least Gobert makes us a formidable regular season team.
More likely than not, I think KAT ends up with the Grizzlies who have a bevy of superfluous assets that could allow them to simply add him to their core. They'd have to find a taker for Steven Adams but his contracts, picks and some of their bench depth might be enough to get it done especially knowing how close KAT's and Morant's Dads are.

Drafted 16th, kid has a pro body and still has much to work on but off to a good start. Well done ATl.
AJ Griffin as a lotto pick is ass. AJ Griffin at 16 was good value for ATL
Not really. A sizeable portion of late lottery picks don't even make it to year-3 with the teams that drafted them. If you can find a player whose floor is as a rotation player, you're beating the odds.
Minny with new GM and ownership is not likley to push the panic button this late.
Logic says you first try to tweek around their core three. Edwards needs to get in shape and grow up fast.
Then you start on the rest. I can’t see them making a move this year no matter how bad the result is this year.
Maybe Ju and Bullock just miss playing together

Cool. A bad shooters list that RJ hasn't made this season.

You are gonna break RJ with this level of jinx
martin wrote:Maybe Ju and Bullock just miss playing together
There is some truth to that. But Bullock first was always backup quality even though he started for us. Also his impact was never seen via stats. U have to watch the game to see how bullock impacts the game. As a two way player, stats don’t do them any justice. Grimes is different because even though he’s also a 2 way player he wired more as an offensive player than other 2 ways.
I’m really surprised RJ wasn’t on this list and agree with Martin. We probably jinx him. Let’s see how RJ responds after having a good efficient day.
What the heck was GS doing yesterday? Sacrificial game?? Looks like they didn’t play a single starter

Guess they are allowed to be arrogant and tank games being the defending Champs.
But I wish there could be something done about this. Like there has to be some type of punishment for deliberately throwing games!

Back to back games, so load management plus they are pussies 
Silver should fine them if he is being fair.

Notwithstanding "tough" guys who sucker punch teammates, they were at the forefront of the pussification of the NBA.

100% agree, but also wouldn't have complained if they did this shit last Friday.

You all think Thibs plays his guys too much 
Lowry is 36! You got this Kyle lol
Sac-Town won 7 in a row and are currently in 3rd place out west! Fox playing like an Allstar, Huerter showing the promise he showed in the Atlanta, 2 years ago. The change of scenery has been good for him. Sabonis is averaging 6 assist per game, Barnes seems rejuvenated and Monk has been a really good signing for them. Also, props to Mike Brown. I caught one of their games and they are a fun team to watch. Happy for them.

Different styles of play, but Fox is doing everything JB is doing except he's hitting the three at a high rate. Don't think we ever had a real chance at trading for Fox. But if we did, fire the entire organization
Nets with KD, Kyrie, and Simmons lose to Sixers without Emblid, Harden, and Maxey, Meanwhile tanking Pistons beat Jazz on their home court with big games from Burks...and Knox!
This year's NBA....
