I get what you are saying, but if Danny beats everyone to the punch of being pathetic, I think they could easily be the 3rd team.

Spurs on a 14 game losing streak. Just like Detroit, they are a full month removed from their last win.
Pops called out turnovers and bad fouls as their main issues and their top 3 in both TO and PF per game are the same 3 guys:
Wemby (#1 and #3)
Zach Collins (#2 and #1)
Sochan (#3 and #2)
I think they are gonna win more games down the stretch than Detroit, but will still end up having a similar record to last year.

Gonna be a tough competition. Don't see how we can be worst than Detroit, WAS, SA. SA play well the first half, good energy from youngs guys but hey have no defense and make mistake when it matters ( learning process) We probably fight for bottom 4 with Portland. DA can probably trade some guys to improve the odds but we have many youngs talented guys. And some others players ( JC, SExton....) have zero interest in playing bad if they want to appear as potential players for a good team. I think we ended bottom 5-6.

I remember a lot of talk about how everyone was going to be better this season and no one was going to be tanking etc. i guess that was incorrect info.

I know some of us here like Quickley from the knicks. What is his contract situation like? Is he a guy we could or should trade for? When is he a free agent? He doesn't seem to be a very big part of the knicks rotation. seems like he doesn't get many minutes or opportunities. Maybe he isn't part of their plans for the future? 19 minutes last night. Minutes are down from last year for him.
He's 4th in scoring and 6th in minutes. He's a pretty big part of their team, but I do think the general thought is they will move him at the trade deadline. He will cost a lot.
Not that I'm against adding another average sized combo guard to the team, but I dont want to pay a lot for one.
If the idea is to start moving the team forward quickly (no pun intended), then adding him would be good.
I think the baseline would be like 2 first round picks and Clarkson for IQ/Fournier.

I probably wouldn't want to trade for him after reading that.
I know we have their picks and are supposed to root against them, but man MIN is a fun team to watch. Just watched through a few of their games I missed and they have so many players I enjoy watching.
Slow mo is great, he does so much to help you win. One of those guys who I really wish played on the Jazz at some point.

There is a reason why I picked them 1st in the west. They are about as complete of a team as you will find on both sides of the ball. The scary part about them is that Jaden McDaniels has been dealing with injuries all year so if they can get him back fully healthy then they get even better on both sides of the ball. Rudy is back to being Rudy and his defensive intensity is starting to rub off on KAT who has gone from bad to solid defensively this year.
I was super excited to watch the Wolves last year and they burnt me, so I went in with tempered expectations. They have been a joy to watch. Rudy is doing less dumb **** on the court trying to "expand" his game and he looks way healthier plus his teammates actually understand how to play around the space he creates/occupies.
KAT is playing the best ball of his career. If he ever learns how to shoot a higher volume from 3 he's going to be extremely dangerous. Minnesota is probably riding on Cloud 9 with how he has helped his trade value playing "winning" basketball. They have tough decisions next year, but they will have a lot of options. Tim Connelly is a very smart GM so I dont see things going too poorly for them baring injuries.
Just hope Conley stays healthy for the playoffs. That's what ultimately did Utah in more than anything IMO.

The Wolves still need a backup PG. That's probably the only thing they are missing currently. Not someone who would play in the playoffs, but someone who could reduce Mike Conley's MPG by like 3-4 in the regular season and give him rest days.
