There’s a whole lot of tinder just waiting for a match to be lit in Minny.

That situation is gonna blow up very soon.

Klay with a full blown tackle screen to setup Curry. Pathetic

The Suns had the fear factor and huge overconfidence boost right before they lost 4 straight in the finals.
They were destroying teams, trash talking everybody etc before that.

After that they got shaken up and Doncic and the Dallas 3s finished them for good in game 7. Nobody fears them anymore and you can see they don't even want to trash talk anymore because they got clowned too many times the past 18 months.

They could get the no1 seed in the West again and nobody will bet on them. Similar situation with the Mitchell/Gobert Jazz.

We were close to be the same after the bubble but unlike them we are far stronger mentally and Giannis proved to be the real deal.

What? Gobert is not the problem. I've posted his on off stats in this thread, Minny got exactly what they traded for. Gobert is still a game changer defensively. The fit and the characters are awful, not the player.

Ok, so the question he posed is still a valid one. I think they would reverse that trade in a heartbeat if they could.

One of the stupidest major trades I've witnessed. Minnesota could have been a tier below contender this year and instead they need to blow it up.

They gave up way too much for a bad fit. Maybe someone else gives that up but it shouldnt have been the wolves.

I think the question is vague tbh. I read the question as ‘would any other team give up more than a single first for Gobert if he were still in Utah?’

Yes, I think someone else would. It shouldn’t have been Minny and it definitely shouldn’t have been five, but Gobert isn’t a terrible player.

Agree with you Minny would already take it back if they could. Just disastrous for them. Though I’m not convinced their team would be fine, anyways, it’d be better than it is and they’d still have their own firsts.

Does a chimp write the Wiretap articles?

The Phoenix Suns have begun the process of engage, or re-engaging, teams in trade talks for Jae Crowder. One of the teams known to be interest in Crower is the Miami Heat. however, Phoenix has a specific ask that may be a non-starter for Miami.

Not much going on tonight in terms of interesting games. Hawks/Sixers perhaps. Portland/Dallas maybe

Utah learned that an advanced stats guy can be played off the floor in the playoffs. Gobert has value, but he’s sort of a rich man’s Samuel Dalembert. You just don’t give up much in assets for that type of player. 75% of the NBA saw it the day the deal was made.

.

You can pose the question a number of ways, and still come to the same conclusion.

Would Minny reverse the trade today? Oh yeah.

If the trade was reversed, what does Utah get in a new trade? Maybe the Pelicans give you Jonas to match salaries and a decent first.
