The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

The problem is their offense. It’s atrocious.
The defense has some issues too... like last night KAT guarding Cam Johnson with Rudy in the drop. Theoretically that means KAT should bury Cam in the post and the offense should make up for it.

It feels like they will have whack a mole type issues fitting KAT and Rudy every night... DLo tough to fit too. Love Rudy but would love whoever we draft with a lotto pick too. Its a no lose situation for me.
 
If I was the Wolves I want Gobert/Towns playing together more with McLaughlin. I want Edwards playing some more minutes with the 2nd units with Naz Reid.

And I would try to trade Russell for shooting and defenders. Idk how, but get Jae Crowder.

I think the Kyle Anderson signing was good in a vacuum but that's another rough fit with the starting guys.

Yeah it's one of those moves I thought would work because he's such a smart and good player, but damn, they just need shooting. Also don't think the collective IQ of the team is high enough for him to fit well

I don’t know the exact numbers but from what I’ve seen I would guess the Gobert/Towns duo hasn’t been very good offensively or defensively.

Now I'm kind of hoping they do really bad this year and Minnesota just sells low on Gobert to recoup some value and I can stop liking them. Like I could see the Hawks re-entering the Gobert conversation if Wolves decide to move on
 
One thing I am watching with the wolves... Jaylen Nowell.... he will be an unrestricted FA because they did not give him an extension and he had a 4 year deal... rarely do guys that young hit Unrestricted FA. I think he'd be like the top target I'd go for in FA. Can offer him a bag and a starting spot.

I'd pass.
 
Hey, so let’s just summarize the last few days for the Nets:

(1) fire only adult in the room (Nash)
(2) Kyrie out being a ****ing idiot anti-Semite with zero repercussions.
(3) replace adult in the room with accused workplace sexual harasser;
(4) sign guy accused of exposing himself to female staffer;
(5) Ben Simmons still very much a thing.

When do you think the Nets are gonna sign Deshaun Watson to a two-way? Is there any legal oversight for this franchise?

It's not an individual talent question. More a leadership thing.

I mean dude they were a play-in team and traded two starters and 3 out of their 7 top rotation pieces for Gobert. I still don’t understand what about that deal screamed best team in the league to anyone. Gobert is not Giannis. He raises your floor but he is not going to magically make everyone around him better on offense.
 
I'd pass.
He’s a guy I could see popping… young productive FAs are almost always restricted and this retained. We won’t get stars… looking for a Lauri like guy that can become a great value deal if they take a leap. Nowell is a decent bet but I’ll watch this year and see what I think as the year goes on.

Timbwrwolves fans are screaming for them to extend him. They should have done it already.

I'd rather get Dillon Brooks

And I just thought it through... I thought the rookie extension deadline was over... and it is, but they could still fit him into an extension at like 10-12M a year with the 120% of average salary extension... and there is no deadline to do that.
