2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

But isnt the pick they owe us like 2 years away?
They made moves to be championship level. The further out from that goal that they are, the more desperate they will be. Any subsequent, knee-jerk reaction moves are likely to make them worse in the long run. An embarrassing exit in the first round will only help to cause chaos in that locker room.
 
Minny was really bad. They have no bench ( except Slomo) and the 2 supposed star were awful to shoot and pass the ball. Not much chance playing this way. Rudy was correct considering he platy against Jokic and Mike was quite invisible, taking only 5 shoot ( 2 from 3) when he is the most efficient shooter at 3 there. They will have to regroup fast or they gonna get out in 3 games.....

True.. best case scenario they flame out here.

KAT asks to be traded in the off-season.

They have to trade him for some picks to recoup what they lost from Gobert’s trade.

Nobody wants Gobert’s contract so he stays.

They rebuild around Ant & Gobert and are mediocre for years to come.
 
I think they will end to get rid of Rudy for a bargain. I see KAT stay there his entire career. I do hope Mike is trade this summer as he deserves a much better team for his last 2 or 3 eyars.

Who would take Gobert though? He declined this season and is set to make 40 million in the upcoming years?

Unless you attach an asset I don’t know of anyone who would take him?

Dallas may need a big. I think they have to advertize Rudy a lot in the first part of the season next year assuming he is back to his Jazz level. But nothing granted i agree.
 
Is Rudy hurt? He didn’t look as mobile as I remember mobile out there.
 
You mean the same Jazz team who couldn't beat the Mavs with Luka missing 2 or 3 games? Yeah should have ran back that garbage squad.


/Sarcasm
This year's team silly.
 

So on the Hoop Collective they were saying that is a 'club' that is situated between the away team's bench and the away team's locker room. And ever since Covid (when the club was closed), players have been using that shortcut as a way of getting to and from the locker room.

I mean, how stupid is that? To have the club situated there and let away players walk through it. It's just an accident waiting to happen!
