[HeatCheck]

it was fair at the time based on Sexton being injured, Ochai being unproven and the Finnisher never being given a lot of usage in Cleveland, which is how Danny got the Cavs next decade of draft picks lol But now that Sexton looks better than hoped for, Agbaji just had a break out rookie game, and The Finnisher is an allstar barring injury. Yeah it wasn't fair at all. We owned this deal I don't care if Don is in the MVP discussion in the next souple seasons. Well, maybe if he wins it I change my mind smh

Sure but Cavs have a chance to get to the Finals. Pretty sure they make that trade again. Danny got some really nice players but they would probably just be standing in the corner as roleplayers off Garland, Mobley, Allen if they were still in Cleveland. I think Cav fans would've preferred to ship out LeVert/Okoro but Danny ain't dumb enough to take that heap of junk.

I also expect Ainge to make a similar type trade at some point sending out a few of our good players/picks for a star. Maybe he does it this offseason.

Lol Minnesota kept McDaniels over two unprotected firsts. Smart guys they are over there.

If they keep Lauri out of this one, they might just as well drive a tank onto the court.

You were saying? We have a really good team. Ochai is a stud. Kessler is a monster. NAW is good. Sexton is a beast.

If you gotta be stuck with someone, I'd be glad it was Kessler

He's the kind of drop-big that guards and wings want to iso on. Thing is, he moves his feet so well and anticipates well enough that he's not the average drop big. He's tough to shoot over and not that easy to lose on a drive.

I don't think I would have them in my top 4 East candidates to win it all... not unless Mobley takes a huge leap.

During the walk-off interview, Beasley and Vanderbilt doused Kessler with their water bottles. That's not going to make this any easier to swallow for the T'wolves fans.

Vando starting to look checked out.

26 minutes. 15 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists.

 

[fishonjazz]

I really hope we trade Sexton by the deadline.

LOL
26 minutes. 19 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists. 7-10 shooting. 5-5 from the line

 

[fishonjazz]

Vando playing much better in the 2nd half

Disregard my previous post.

Sure but they could be very dangerous in the playoffs if they find a way to add an NBA caliber wing player.

Walker Kessler has the best per of any rookie by a long shot

So that Ochai dude is pretty damn good. I heard the minnesota announcers talking about his NBA ready body. Dude is built and athletic as hell.
