Here's another Jimmy Highroller on traveling in the NBA today and why officiating is so bad...from a fan's point of view. Also explains why offense is so much stronger now than it was a decade ago.

Yeah it was a weird move especially considering that they can’t play together.
Holy **** Mikal Bridges tonight.
I’d give multiple of our 1st for him but that ship has probably sailed.

I'm a broken record here, but we really did do the Lakers a solid. Pelinka owes DA one... might have saved his job.
They started all 3 guys they got in that trade and looked in sync and dominant when playing Pels starters. Didnt play anyone on the roster more than 30:10 either, and only time Pels looked good was a stretch during 2nd quarter bench rotations when Mo Bamba was bricking 3s every other LA possession. Lebron only took 14 shots, and they still cruised to victory and went to end of bench guys late in the 4th.
Its just a couple of games, but I'm calling the Lakers as 7th or 8th seed right now. Just hoping Wolves are finishing below them.

This is weird. I show he's playing 20 mpg for a team that is a contender, no? Isn't that the role he'd be seeking?

He has been a healthy scratch since end of January. He put up unplayable splits (30% from the field, 22% from 3) that month and had a minor back injury which resulted him losing his rotation spot.
He just cannot play significant minutes for a contender anymore, so they tried to trade him for a bag of peanuts but no one wanted to touch him. At least now he may get to play somewhere this season.

If we helped Pelinka save his job then we helped ourselves and the league long term… he sucks.
When I watched the Cavs to start the year him and Dean Wade were really helping the Cavs with their spacing/shooting. Surprised they are doing this even if he played poorly. Rest him for the playoffs
