NBA General Discussion: 2025 Offseason

[WentzerWuver]

The fact that Randle is ruining Minnesota is pretty much the least surprising thing ever.

Truth. It's hard to believe that's the best deal Minnesota could have gotten for Towns.

They wanted Donte for years and also got an unprotected first so it was a fair deal considering KAT continues to be the worst rim protector big guy in the league. Even Randle is a much better rim protector when in the paint area. Most importantly, no other team wanted a vastly overpaid center who refuses to protect the rim. Just ask Jimmy who has played with him and is much better defensively in the paint.

The pick the Wolves got is a lotto protected DET pick that eventually becomes two 2nds.

Randle's defense is just as bad as KAT's.

Thanks for the picked clarification but his defense is much better than KAT. He's just an inefficient scorer and a bad ball handler where Towns is very efficient offensively but that doesn't mean he is not overpaid. I'd take Mobley over him all day cause I prefer a big man who actually protects the rim like a monster which their current record reflects that.

Besides, Minny really wanted Donte when he was still on GS roster and demanded he be included over any other filler else no KAT. Keeping KAT would've kept them over the 2nd apron after paying super max to Ant man along with a max Gobert. Wolves won the trade once they trade Randy by the trading deadline as many contenders will want him due to his contract season. No one wanted the injured prone KAT other than the Knicks.

Only fans who doesn't understand the cap and business decisions still think it's a bad trade unless it's coming out of their own pockets.

As bad as it has gotten here, just think that at least we aren't the Bulls.

Hopefully Ja is alright after hurting his shoulder. Grizz are so slept on and I think they've found a way to make their offensive output sustainable and consistent with their creative offensive system. Definitely at the top of my league pass watching. ATM

He didn't lock up Murray, Murray stopped his attack and faded back for an open mid-ranger, which he missed. Edey is learning to leverage his length to make up for his lack of athleticism. Good for him.

Doesn't this sound like our GM other than him being a liar as well?!?

We will never win with him managing this team!

I didn’t make the tweet, but I think the point he’s making is that he was able to defend Dejounte effectively. Dejounte couldn’t drive past him or take an open jumper because Edey was sagging off, positioning himself to defend both the drive and the shot. That’s likely what he means by “lock up.”

Regardless, Edey has shown much better mobility than most people expected.

As for how good he’ll be, I’m not sure either.

We will never win as long as Kate Scott or Alaa cover our team.

What do announcers have to do with our personnel or play? I don't like her voice but maybe I am missing something

Many religious Sixers fan prayer groups are choosing not to watch our games because of those two.

Yeah Alaa and Kate are just depressing. I have to turn them down at times and just announce the game myself.

It honestly keeps me from watching entire games, and since I watch delayed I'm constantly fast forwarding through stupid banter.

Imagine we have to play Detroit for play-in game and Tobias goes HAM lol

Walker Kessler also had a very good game 14pts and 16rebs. But a quiet night for Edey with 5pts and 6 rebs.

Oh cool, Aaron Wiggins is becoming a force off the bench for okc…

I know this is just one extreme example, but the DRose glazing across the online basketball community goes too far. Sympathy for the guy really exaggerates his legacy.
