Los Angeles Lakers (14-20) @ Miami Heat (17-17) @ 7:30 PM ET on NBA TV
Follow up this Wolves win with another one. They have 0 business beating, especially without AD.
Westbrook and LeBron potentially out for them as well.
Bam and Jimmy questionable, would like to see them fight through it and play. We need continuity now and we need to win games like this that we seem to always find a way to lose.
Get it done!

No line for this game yet, nobody knows who will be playing for either side.

I mean the Lakers need every win they can get so if he wants to be spitefu to a franchise that only excelled his career, so be it.

I'm here to watch Herro & Bam continue to grow into something better, I am done with thinking this team has what it takes to win a championship. There is a centralized core that has a high upside but the end of the bench is abysmal, along with the Jimmy window slamming shut before our eyes is pretty brutal. Also to see some cool things, like watching Orlando Robinson start to turn into the next big no name talent to get paid by us because we shine these undrafted turds without talent with gold polish brushes.

Butler has another 2-3 solid years with this core. He'll need to take backseat to Bam and Herro but his veteran presence and guile sandwiched between those two at the SF spot will still be valued. The key is finding a PF, a suitable PG to replace Lowry, and building the bench back up in order to compete. Lowry's 30 and Robinson's 18 is close to 48 million that has to be used a lot wiser in order to fill out this roster. We are better off going with a cheap vet at PG like Dragic or someone of that nature and worry about getting some athletic bigs. This team can still do really well with a stop gap PG who can hit a three and create every so often. It does not need to be spending 30 million for that. Get the ball back in Butler's hands and have him back in the Pippen point forward role with Herro also getting some ball handling work.

I agree. Let's just enjoy the development of these two young stars and let the rest take care of itself.

All that being said, If the front office decides to go all in for jimmys window and fill out this roster with a couple high level role players and maybe a developmental guy like Reddish this team can do a complete 180 and compete. It just depends on what they decide to do.
As much as we question the Caleb at the 4 fit (and I would like a high level guy to take his spot at the 4 or 5) the starting lineup has been kicking ass all year

We’ll be fine without Lowry now that Gabe is back. The Gabe and Herro backcourt needs to be seen and used a lot more to get used to the post Lowry era that’s hopefully coming soon.

Now that you mention it after watching Gabe start majority of last years playoffs I was completely fine with packaging Lowry to upgrade the roster in other areas.
Gabes exactly what this team needs at PG if the team really is going to rely more on Bam Herro and Jimmy to handle the scoring. Just a solid 3 and D guy at the point

Well guys, it all comes down to this.
One game, that will determine our direction for this season, and perhaps for the next decade.
We have no business losing to this team, but I've seen stranger things happen.

Gabe and Dipo is more then enough to hold the fort at PG if we can use Lowry and picks to get multiple vet pieces in key positions to form a more well rounded roster. Gabe and Dipo also both compliment Herro defensively and allow him to handle the ball as he pleases.

2 solid defensive PGs holding down the PG position for us now and in the near future at less than $20M a year has a good ring to it
