I quite like their team

Trae, Jalen, Dyson, Rizzler - they’ve got a really solid core in those 4. If they could turn Capela and Okongwu into a Gobert or Jarret Allen defensive anchor then they could become a real problem for the east.

Trae has his weaknesses but they’ve found some really great supporting cast to help hide those. I’m excited to watch them grow.

Same. I'm curious though if Trae is playing theough injury, or if his drop in efficiency shooting wise is due to his lowest usage rate since his rookie season

Either way, lowering his usage rate and increasing Jalen's has done wonders for the team

Deandre Hunter has been a revelation off the bench,
best season since his contract year season.

If Dyson or Rischaer can shoot league average rates, look out

You know who crossed my mind as ideal fit? Giannis.

sure , Giannis is ideal fit for most teams, but from his POV , he would help their defense and for damn sure they would help his offense.

That would be a damn good squad but they’d have to give up some of those pieces to get him. Would be fun to watch too.

So, Nuggets get embarrassed by damn Wizards on first night of back to back games, just to smack one of hottest teams in nba by 30?

Something has been going on for a while. IIRC Riley took some shots at him for talking but not playing during the playoffs last year.

Riley traded Shaq, Wade, Alonzo when they got old. Business is business.
