Official Utah/Minnesota/Philadelphia Pick Watch

[Coach Ellis]

Something’s got to give. Either we start losing or they do. It has to.

Does it though???

Considering both team’s starting lineups tonight. . . You have to wonder.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Mavs choked another one. Lol

 

[Coach Ellis]

I hate the Knicks. The Wolves jumped up from 12 to 16 by pulling that game off.

That roller coaster ride. Knicks coming all the way back to take the lead in the 4th was cruel.

It's ok guys, the game that really matters is still being played. It's our only hope.

[The Midnight]

[Jingled]

After tonight, Timberwolves pick currently 16th, Jazz pick tied for 13th.

 

[Domino]

That doesn’t make sense because the Timberwolves and the jazz are tied in the standings?

Are Lauri, Kessler and Ochai gonna be worse off if we sit them for the remaining 10 games of the season?

What if our picks are 7th and 16th?

Wouldn't that be much better for us next year?

I think you still want to give Ochai and Kessler as many minutes as possible the rest of the season so they can keep developing and getting better. There is definitely an argument for sitting Lauri the rest of the season, but he's competitive and wants to play, and he still has things to play for...I'm sure he would like to make the playoffs for the first time in his career and make an All-NBA team. Not worth risking fracturing the relationship between Lauri and the organization to move up a few spots in the draft IMO.

It's amazing we're even having this conversation. Losing Conley, Beasly, Vanderbilt, and NAW in a trade and Sexton and Clarkson to injury should've been enough to cause the losses to pile up and put us in a better draft position.

Lauri can still make the All NBA Team without making the playoffs, no?

I mean he's ready there with or without these last 10 games, IMO.
