Great PICKS day. TOR ATL GS - win. Minny lost to JAZZ. We need Wolves to lose games and they are on a good track of losing right now.
If we trade some veterans like Conley or Beasley our pick take care of itself.

I think you mean - WHEN we trade some veterans like Conley and Beasley and Olynyk and Gay and THT. . . our pick will take care of itself.

Screw our pick if minny falls into top 10.

Plus we trade Beasley and/or Conley and we are just as good. Argument to be made for better but I think we potentially would miss Conley for certain matchups

Nah. Let the disfunction reign and have them fall completely out of the play-in. Jazz get two top 10 picks and hopefully get a decent shot at moving up to #1. Looked like it was going to go that way for a bit there. . . and then both teams started winning games.

Hopefully, the Jazz make some trades and commit to a rebuilding season moving forward, while the Timberwolves completely implode to end the season.

They are a 10 game Ant absence away from falling out of the play in imo. As long as he is playing they are like a .500-ish team.

He’s empty calories. I want to like him, but he just comes across as too self absorbed to really lead his team.

Maybe he keeps them afloat. . . but with how this year’s going for them, I wouldn’t bet much on that.

He's really good. Much more than empty calories. He's their most important player by a wide margin. He misses 10 games they might only win like 2 games. It becomes the D-Lo show and it ain't pretty.

I think if we trade vets it doesn't hurt us much. Our young guys are really really good.

With Olynyk and Gay it'd be addition by subtraction.

agreed.
Im really really curious to see what happens when KO comes back. I will be pretty pissed if Kessler goes back to 20-23 minutes per game (he is still only averaging 19.5 for the season). I mean we already had enough evidence before KO got hurt that Kessler should be getting way more minutes. After games like tonight Hardy has to have finally realized what many of already knew right?

Jazz reloaded with a lot of solid young players that should drive the rebuilding effort forward. I’d like to see some more trades of veteran players to hopefully get some more picks or at least opportunities to swap a move up this year or in the future. But things look bright for next year.

C: Walker Kessler - 21 years old
22/23 - $2.7 million
23/24 - $2.8 million
24/25 - $2.9 million
25/26 - $4.8 million
26/27 - RFA ($7.0 million QO)

PG: Talen Horton-Tucker - 22 years old
22/23 - $10.2 million
23/24 - $11.0 million (player option)

SG: Ochai Agbaji - 22 years old
22/23 - $3.9 million
23/24 - $4.1 million
24/25 - $4.3 million

PF: Jarred Vanderbilt - 23 years old
22/23 - $4.3 million

Especially with the salary cap going up, we have a hugely flexible roster composition. Lots of good players on value contracts. About as well positioned as you could ask for.

Well I'll be happy to tell you that Vegas strongly disagrees with you. They dont think Ant injury is necessary at all. I've been ranting about their schedule without anyone discussing or even reacting to it... but its about time to wake up and smell the coffee as it smells GREAT.

After last night... here are the latest Fanduel win lines (expected wins at the end of the season) from bottom up:
1. Rockets 19.5 wins <-- Yesterdays line. New line pending from loss to Lakers.
T-2. Pistons 21.5 wins
T-2. Spurs 21.5 wins
4. Hornets 24.5 wins
5. Magic 30.5 wins
T-6. Wizards 34.5 wins
T-6. Thunder 35.5 wins <--- Undervalued.
T-8. Wolves 38.5 wins
T-8. Bulls 38.5 wins
T-8. Lakers 38.5 wins <-- Yesterdays line. New line still pending from yesterdays win over Houston.
T-11. Jazz 39.5 wins
T-11 Raptors 39.5 wins

I think OKC has been heating up lately and could easily go on a run with the 2nd easiest remaining schedule in the league.. hence the undervalued tag. Bulls and Raptors have told they are not pulling the plug but are gonna ride this season out. Still 3 weeks left before deadline so anything can happen ofc... but if they fight for the play in all the way this could be the final lottery ranking.
