I'd love to go to the GB and rehash every argument they had about the trade from the moment it hit.. they were wrong every step of the way. Even last year a lot were saying they'd rather have DLo than Wiggins.. now DLo is going to be on his what, 5th team in 8 seasons?

He's the kind of player we would have built around in the Cohan era. And mark my words - if the KANGZ bring in Mark Jackson to coach, I would expect them to somehow bring in DLo too. I mean if you're going to be laughably bad, might as well lean into it


Marcus just dropped a really good piece on the athletic. After reading that, im not sure myers lets wiggs walk so easily anymore. Wiggs is low key, but something was different when he spoke to marcus. Not very wiggs like. Dlo trade rumours coinciding with this article. The timing is too perfect.

Grant Williams would be a perfect understudy to Draymond. Good enough shooter to play next to him as well. Would love to find a way to get him even if it was an overpay. Would happily trade Moody + Wiseman or Moody + 1st. Would reluctantly do all three.

My personal dream conclusion would be to win the championship, and have Wiggins be Finals MVP.

I want to see the Minnesota fan base in contortions trying explain why they still like DLo better.

Whoa. tsherkin is posting again on the general board. Hopefully he's medicated this time around. Otherwise, beware the banhammer warrior fans. Lol

i just watched the suns-mavs game, and i'm really wondering if there's any non-mavs fan in the world that actually still likes doncic? there's two very important rules in his gamebook: #1 he's ALWAYS fouled, not matter what and # 2 he NEVER does anything illegal. that guy is so annoying on the court (just like draymond to be fair), constantly complaining and whining, and if something goes his way, he's the first one to flex.

Nah, Doncic is a BB savant... and he is AWESOME. He currently has an otherwise weak Mavs team in the second round. There's plenty of other whining players to hate on. Keep looking.

i'm not hating on the player, but i'm hating on that player's way of behaving on the court, same with draymond, love the player, but i hate his antics.

What a finish in the Celtics-Bucks game.

Winner of the series is likely to be in the Finals, especially if Middleton comes back.

But man, it comes down to how they officiate the big possessions. How much contact will they allow, especially initiated by Giannis or how many big calls will they make?

As it is, officiating lets stars get away with pushing off regularly, and that includes Ja.

I like Doncic, but I also think the franchise being so reliant on him has turned his game more into James Harden. When he came in he was more of a classic player able to play on and off ball.

THJ had that horrible injury against us. But he's played really well the last two playoffs averaging 17ppg on good shooting. If he was good to go I think they might be able to take the Sun's.

Mavs tie up the series but game 5 is pivotal and home team should still have the advantage.


Oh and Mark Jackson being interviewed by Kings AND Lakers.

I really wanted to draft Williams but that is a wild overpay.

Williams will get big money past his rookie contract. Probably in the mid to high teens at least.

Agree it is an overpay, but I don’t think Bos bites on a fair trade. His defensive versatility without being an offensive liability is very hard to find. And he would fit GS system perfectly.

You realize his career high for assists in a game is 4 and he's done that twice, both this year. He had 56 games this year with 1 or fewer assists.

If you look at it a different way, the Warriors youth could be considered to be Poole, Moody, Wiggins, Kuminga, and Wiseman. They can keep looking for cheaper talent that is undervalued rather than going for reaching for over-valued players.

Happy to see Celtics loose. IMO they are the worse finals (if we get there) matchup with switching and defensive capabilities.

Has Dallas figured out how to beat Suns. Looks like just beating the heck out of Paul is their approach. Seems to be waring him down.

They shot the lights out from 3.

Their role players have had hot streaks before. I believe last year vs. Clippers, they made almost everything in the first couple of games and then Clippers came back and they cooled way off in the last couple of games of the series.

It’s really a make or miss series. Well you can say that is the case with every NBA game to a certain extent.

Which team will shoot better in the next two or three games?

They have figured out how to get the ball out of Paul's hands, which ends up nullifying Ayton somewhat as well. They are making Booker score his way to victory for them, and the Mavs have controlled the tempo this way as well.

HOWEVER.

This series looks to be very home cooked. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Suns blow out the Mavs in game 5, only for the Mavs to then do the same in game 6. rinse repeat, the Suns move on.
