I don't understand SAS' rotation. They played extensive mins without their big 3. I would expect they always keep one on the floor

Statistically D'Lo is having a great season so far. I have him in fantasy. I know this.

Sell before all your competition knows about Bad DLo.

Btw, I saw a clip in a recent game where Anthony Davis was pissed with DLo for shooting and not passing to him wide open under the basket. AD was really upset, even after the play. I don’t know if this happens a lot, but pissing off Anthony Davis is a good way to get your ass nailed to the bench.

Ironically, DLo avg the most assists of his career so far this year. I trade him for JMcL+Milton+Brown so they have a pg

He pissed off LeBron in the opener doing something similar - after LeBron told him what to do and he ignored it.

Victor went bananas.

The Suns come storming back to tie. Wemby says enough of that and goes total beast mode leading a 12-0 run. Wemby with 38 and 10. 15-26 shooting 3-6 from 3.

I know too early blah blah blah, but given good health Wemby could be the GOAT before his career is done. I don't remember LeBron or Jordan doing things like this at the very start of their NBA careers.
Klomp and whoever. You still think the Spurs don't make the playoffs?

Yea Wemby is incredible. Spurs are really lucky. Pop has had an amazing career and to think he gets to coach this kid until he hangs it up. Amazing.

Can I say Towns is a poor man's Wemby?

More like a destitute man's Wemby.

What kind of package would it take to trade for Wemby? It doesn't exist.

BlacJacMac · Post #231 » by **BlacJacMac** » Fri Nov 3, 2023 7:19 pm

The big thing for Wemby is going to be health. Guys with that extreme height do not have a great track record of staying healthy.

Went to the game since it was my youngest's elementary school night. Have to say Wemby was even more impressive in person. Go see him before the tickets get too expensive.

Lucky you. Do you cheer for the Suns also or just the Wolves?

NYK Fan - Randle, Grimes, 2 1st
LAL Fan - DLo, Vanderbilt, Wood, 1st, 2nd
LAC Fan - Harden, Westbrook, Hyland, 2nd. If SAS wants Mann instead of Westbrook, SAS add a 1st.
Why? Wemby wants a trade to big city anyway, so SAS may as well get something for him.

Seriously, I see OKC offer Holmgren, Giddey, 4 1st. Will sink and swim with SGA+Wemby. You can add Prince, OKogie and Beasley to that lineup and it still look great. For SAS, Holmgren and Giddey are very good players. Maybe Bucks rebuild Giannis + Middleton?

The reality is he may be the only no offer is good enough player in the NBA right now.

That is the reality. It's not possible to make a good enough offer.

Final offer Denver rebuild - Jokic + Murray for Wemby

Bro. He had one really good game against a slow 6'9 unathletic player. Wembys counters are the same as Towns. A 4 whose strong and can deny him position.

I’ll support the Suns but only when it doesn’t impact the Wolves negatively. Wolves still my #1. We were generously given tickets for the Suns v Wolves in 2 weeks and we’ll all be wearing Wolves gear…though the little one got a big Suns bling chain so he will probably wear that with his Ant T-shirt.

I thought some of you might enjoy this thread, talking about Jokic and … Pek!

Watching SAS vs TOR. That Wolves loss to Raptors is looking worse and worse. It may end up cost Wolves a couple spots in the playoff race. Looks like SAS will be in play off/in. DAL too because of soft schedule. MEM will miss play off. SAC will come back down to earth and compete in play-in with OKC and other playoff teams that are impacted by injuries.
