I argued he might be a better fit for our team. KAT made it work on defense but his offense took a huge hit when started playing next to Gobert. Randle does a lot of stuff that fits this team construction better, namely his ability to create and attack. He's also taking a lot more three's than KAT when he's feeling it and that helps.

Kudos to you, I remember disagreeing with you after the trade. I’m happy you were right!

I still disagree with the trade but glad it's working out. Now if DDV could just figure out how to be useful.

Make the FTs Rudy. CRAP, but 4th foul on Hartenstein.

Do Shai and Nickiel have the two longest names in the NBA?

Just seeing Hartenstein catch and make floaters shows how much better we could be if Rudy was even borderline competent on the offensive end. Not our biggest problem though. That’s every single role player cannot make a shot. None. Those are open shots too.

The Thunder have a 6-0 run. We have to nip this one now.

Jaylen is smart, and was efficient offensively during the rs. Play him

The Wolves are not responding to my posts tonight. Why do I even try. Oh well.

At least we got the answer from the PO.

NAZ is not starter caliber in a contending team but a good 6th men.
Donte can be trade, way too inconsistent
NAW should be signed and trade.

Disappointing bench so far, didn't affect as the starter play well until now but it won't be enough.

We are lucky to be just down 6 shooting 34% and 30% from 3s. The problem is I don't see we turn it around.

We better win this challenge. If we don't the fix is in just like those rigged lottery drawings.
