Danny Ainge loves to stockpile assets and not really use them.

 

Wolves

 

awoooo! 6th place!

 

Movin' on uppp


Winning without Donte or Randle as well, and Ant has been playing better lately too

 

Jaylen Clark looks great, hope he stays in the rotation

 

I think lots of GMs are afraid to deal with him, too, because of his rep for asking a lot in return.

 

Researched some stats and found Luka has a higher average PPG, through their first five seasons, compared to anyone else currently playing. Currently 9th best average PPG of all time. And somehow Dallas decides it was in their interest to trade him away. Baffling.

 

hopefully when big ragu and Julius are back they give him decent minutes, finch really loves leaning on the old farts over the younger dudes and it’s sus sometimes

 

Donte/Conley/Dillingham
Ant/Clark
McDaniels/NAW/TSJ
Randle/Minnot
Rudy/Naz

the backup big rotation is a little rough, but there’s a lot of guard depth and big lineup options with Randle/Naz Naz/Rudy. More teams should be following the Grizzlies and running high pace lineups with a lot of minutes split across.

 

I'll be so furious if Ben Simmons ends up on the Cavs.

 

lol I'll be pumped

 

If he ends up on the Cavs and makes a conference final before Embiid

 

Jimmy’s camp sucks for leaking this

 

yeah maybe they don't care but that's not gonna make people warm up to Jimmy Butler or endear him to other people

 

soo Max Christie has actually been pretty good his first 2 games. If he keeps it up, it kind of makes sense we moved Grimes because there wouldn't have really been a solid role for him to fill anymore. Also, Exum had a +29 last night which is wild. I think it maybe speaks more to how much better Boston is when Jrue is clamping PGs down.

 

Imagine if the Mavs just go on a tear and are actually right about that stupid trade?

 

Finally a reason to tune in

 

Charity case

 

They looked decent last night and didn't have AD, PJ, or Lively.

One thing I will say is I loved everything AD said today during the presser. You can tell the dude knows this is a shitty situation and truly wants to make it work.

 

Yeah very conflicted feelings because as much as I hate the trade I do really like the team
