Congrats to Zach, has really hit his groove...and helping the team win, 6 of the last 8. My main concern was his durability issues and his contract is a tad high, making it tough to make future upgrades to the team . But if he keeps playing this way, I have no complaints.

Over the last 10 games:
DeMar 23/5/5
LaVine 23/4/4
Sabonis 15/13/5 (including the 1:16 game)
Monk 16/4/6

These guys are sharing the load and moving the ball. It's fun to watch. I do hope they move LaVine while he's rolling because I don't believe it's sustainable long term.

Yeah I hear you, it'd be nice to get some younger guys...or else the team will be in the basement again in 3-4 years. Demar will be gone I imagine, retired or one last hurrah to win with a top 5 contender. Zach & Domas will be approaching mid 30s. Just Keeg, Keon & Carter to build around, if they can even manage to keep him. And Monk too obviously, but he will be 30+ by then also.
