You forgot to add DLo starting for Lakers too. I see it as if you have top 10 players, they can make your supporting cast look good. I am still hoping Ant and Towns can get there.

All of them have talent they just need the right role. That Raptors loss looks worse and worse. They do not look good.

Finished with twenty shooting 70% from the field (6-8 from three).

He needed that. He was 35% overall, 31% from 3 going into tonight.

People remember D’Angelo Russell’s remarks on PatBev’s podcast (note to Timberwolves - stop going on that podcast and saying stupid things!) where he said he felt held back by MIN since he was just a third option.

I just discovered this today, but it seems like he walked those comments back later, and said he appreciated playing here

Strangely, no comments on this board from GSW fans about DLo-Wiggins trade... Seventh pick, Wiggins revitalized his career and also took a paycut, and bla-bla-bla. I remember that two seasons they used to come here to mock us quite often...

Well the wolves turned Dlo into Naw and Conley and some seconds and GS are stuck wish washed Wiggins and dissapointing Kuminga.

As far as I remember last season Wiggins had some family issues... Is there any reason why he has been playing so bad lately? He is averaging 10 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1 apg on 41-15-50 (!!!)

I'm surprised Beasley is still starting for the Bucks given how terrible he has been . He isn't totally responsible for their slow start to the season and God awful defense but he has certainly played a big role in it.

I just watched the first episode of Netflix’s “The Playbook” which is about coaches. It featured Doc Rivers, so there is a lot of Celtics and Kevin Garnett, if anyone is interested.

Watch on YouTube

On "Running Up The Score," Shawn Marion shared the story of how he was nearly traded to the Boston Celtics as part of a three-team deal that would have sent Kevin Garnett to the Phoenix Suns and picks to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He also reveals that Kobe Bryant once recruited him to join the Los Angeles Lakers.

Nowell is still FA... It must be a really depressing to watch your former team doing great, while you dont even have a minimum deal after declining 12mil/3yrs...

All Star starter Andrew Wiggins? Who’d have thunk it!

I bet he didn't touch the basketball all off season. He looked so out of it this year. It's the difference between do you like your job or do you love your job.

I kinda wonder if the off-the-court stuff effectively nuked Andrew Wiggins' interest in basketball. I get he was always a bit iffy on it, but he finally was locked in before it all happened. Just a shame.

Yeah last year was weird. Did anyone ever find out what kept him out of so many games last year? I thought it was personal matters.

My understanding was that it might be related to his father's health, but the reason was never formally released.
