Looks like we should had taken Ryan Dunn instead of TSJr.

You know Dunn probably would be in a similar situation as Shannon....

They are much better than last year.

Lakers are also much better under JJ Redick. I like JJ as a podcaster, but the ease in which LAL is producing offense this year is night-and-day compared to how it looked the past few years.

Minnesota is better than both still.

Jay Huff was playing well in SL. Against MIN as well. I wish we gave him our two-way contract.

Probably. Minott could easily be doing what Dunn is doing. We just don't have 15-20 minutes to hand out right now. Especially if NAW is gonna ball out, it's gotta be the tightest 8 man rotation in the league.

I don't agree that Minott could be shooting .438 on 3s.

What happened to Haliburton this year? Maybe now is the time to trade for him but I don't know a trade could work.

If aggregating salaries was an option, I think we could maybe put something appealing together (I'm thinking a starting point of Jaden, Donte and Rob). But I think it would be extremely difficult without that ability.

Julius, RD, and filler would make it damn close. But I highly doubt Pacers would do it.

I wouldn't want to give up any combination of Naz, Jaden, NAW, and DD.

Glad to see KAT having a monster game...will always root for the dude as long as he is not playing against Wolves

Yep. He's 11-1 vs Bam. Always great to see him take down ol Jimmy!

Sure, on only 16 attempts, why not - Dunn is 7 for 16, Minott was 8 for 16 in the preseason. At any rate, I was speaking more to net impact.

I hope he gets a foothold. I always liked him and felt like he was an NBA talent. Not sure why he fell off so hard.

Aaron Gordon has a calf strain and hoopshype says he will miss at least several weeks. This is a major blow to Denver who is very thin depth wise and needs Gordon to guard opposing teams best players.

are the Warriors seriously going to cause problems this year with their Curry plus smart role players meta? That's unconstitutional.

Sounds like Grady is calling the Phoenix v Dallas game tonight

Suns playing great ball so far, the big 3 finally coming together. Towns doing great in NYK. Still the same Towns but NYK hinde his weakness better

NYK are getting absolutely killed at the rim - and KAT is a big part of that. They need to hope Robinson comes back and meshes with Towns (and both stay healthy).
