I've been very impressed with Amen.

Maybe already on par with OG defensively.

Super competitive, Kobe like intensity.

Getting well rounded, better and better offensively.

Dang. Looks like he's struggling in his role.

Wolves lost at home to the Heat without Butler.

Randle was an ugly 6-16 from the field with 4 TO. Chucking 3's but was 1-6 on 3PT.


Not playing with your boys leaves something to be desired. T-Wolves need a real PG. Them trying to make Divo a combo guard doesn't seem like it's working. Too early to tell, but still. I saw clips here and there of the game. Miami's defense looked good. ANT is really the one who struggled the most. Team shot 39 & 28 and still lost by 1. Walker falling asleep on D and fouling cost them the game, anyway.

Yes

I'm surprised they lost.

I thought they would have waxed the Heat at home without Butler playing.

Probably a "trap" game for T-Wolves. Miami and NY are tied. I'm not thumbing my nose up on any team at the moment until the Knicks can look good consistently.

Swapping Mikal for Giannis is CRAZY.

whats the point for giannis in going to brooklyn tho? not a better situation than he is right now..

They have plenty of assets to make other moves.

They're well positioned for either a rebuild or for building a winning team almost overnight.

do they? it will at least take 7 first round picks to get Giannis imo. they would peak as a 5th seed at best.

As I understand, the Nets have:

- 1 Bucks pick
- 1 Suns pick
- 1 Dallas pick
- 1 Sixers pick
- 1 Sixers/Suns pick (best in 2028)
- 4 Knicks picks
- 1 pick swap with the Knicks

In addition to some of their own picks they have.

They have more than enough to build a team around Giannis, should they move for him.

I just checked their future pick. they really have more than I thought, but not much in terms of young players to add. If Giannis is open to lets say a Rockets trade, it's a wrap imo. would definitely be very interesting if he enters the trade market.

It really depends what Milwaukee would favor in return - draft capital, young talent or win-now pieces.

Could Ayton and AD play together?

A Hachimura/Russell for Ayton trade seems to work

Nothing is more humbling than pilates and yoga classes. First time my wife dragged me to hot yoga I was waterboarding myself in a puddle of my own sweat while shaking like a leaf. Looked over and some 60yr old woman was flowing through the moves then looks over at me and smiles. I thought it would be fairly easy cause I'm active. It wasn't I was in hell.

I hope we can get him back, someway. Him and IHart were true Knicks, but Donte might have been the most Knicksy Knick since Starks got traded. Miss that dood. I wonder if we can get him back someway.
