    When IT has reoccurring injuries, it'll be worth it

    I think whether it'll be worth it hinges on a) If Kyrie re-signs with Boston after this contract and b) How good the Nets pick ends up being. I think it's probably a good trade for both sides though considering how the Cavs basically had to trade Kyrie and Boston upgraded at point guard.

    Something interesting to note with a lot of people being concerned about IT's injury is that Kyrie was tagged as an injury plagued player since college. In fact, last year was Kyrie's first full healthy season (and even he complained about his surgical repaired knee in March - but didn't miss any time. My eye test thinks he was playing with an injury during the playoffs.)

    He missed 15 games his rookie year, 23 games his 2nd year, 11 games his third, only 7 his 4th season (but broke knee in finals), 29 his fifth year and 10 last year (mostly due to rest, I think).

    So, both players are fragile.

    He was killing it all game. The moment I turned it on he just crossed some Latvian dude and drained a three in his face.
    Porzingis was a monster in the 1st half though.

    Edit: the play above it the cross over I'm referring too.

    Is he really a shooting guard? He looks so long

    Yup he's around 6'6-6'7 I believe, hope he can play some 3 for us tho.
    He and Buddy on the wings would open up De'Aaron's drive and kick game wonderfully.

    They're gonna end up playing Justin Jackson at the 4 lol

    Haha definitely possible, hopefully the depth chart looks like:
    Hill-Fox-Mason
    Hield-Temple-Richardson
    Bog-Carter-Jackson
    Skal-ZBo-Giles
    WCS-KK-Papa

    That would be horrible, Jackson should be played primarily as a 2 because he's not good at guarding bigger guys at all. Then again picks that later are normally not starters anyway so he might just come off the bench anyway. They're gonna be small ball forever like randive wanted lol they'll play fox and hill together and then like buddy at the three and then bogdanivic at the 4 or something awful

    I know Z-Bo is past his prime and all, but I just can't see Skal starting over him yet.

    We just have a bunch of dudes at the 2 and 3 that could get minutes at either so it'll be interesting to see what the rotations look like. Jackson was nice in Summer League but I'm not sure how much run he'll get given who's ahead of him. I guess that all comes down to how we play Bogdan.

    And IMO it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to start Z Bo, I'd rather have Skal get as many minutes as possible while holding on to solid draft position.

    The Timberwolves new logo and jerseys are so damn cool I may just have buy wolves gear.

    Being a Bulls fan I don't get the luxury of new team logos or substantial jersey changes. Just the same old logo on newer 'high performance' materials haha. Bc Thibs, Butler, and Gibson are on the TWolves, I won't feel so bad about sporting the logo.

    He used to have a show on CNBC where he was trying to make a deal with a guy who made custom made sheets for beds. He'll be solid.
